Chewing Scenery, Stala Contemporary, May - June 2026
Friends and collaborators Matthew Wright and Wade Taylor present Chewing Scenery, an exploration of contemporary Australian landscape and representational painting. A ballad to Perth and the unique nature of its light and surface, where suburbs interlace a landscape that is hard and intractable. Limestone plays against cracked concrete and asphalt, seas of Colorbond against scorched lawn and dirt tracks, stage-lit by the blunt clarity of a West Australian sky.
