DESCRIPTION  

Title: "Wheat-bix kids" by Simon Clark 

Technique: Oil and 24 carat gold leaf on board

Frame: 618 x 553 x 46 mm

Year: 2013

Simon Clark’s paintings re-imagine modern-day nostalgia for the New Zealand of the 1950s and 60s. Clark’s works demand immediate attention: gold leaf, optical patterning, repeated motifs, and high-contrast colours are all designed to attract the gaze. As the gaze lingers however, the subtle detailing and surface treatments tell more of the stories in which Clark is interested. He deliberately ‘removes the gloss’ from his paintings, giving them a sense of time’s passing and untold histories. As he layers image and composes space, he likewise layers ideas and composes his own historical constructs.
