Since graduating from the National Art School in Sydney, Malcolm Poole has been pursuing artwork that investigates both landscape and cityscape from an aerial perspective. Through this exploration, he has been developing his own artistic language which has lead to such projects as “The Six of Croll.” Following in a long heritage of Australian artists, Poole’s style incorporates line, dot, and pattern to create form, space, and abstraction of images that Australian Aboriginal art is well known for. His paintings take you on a journey, playing with perspective within each of his works, which attempt to fool the eye with odd angles, bizarre colors, and personal symbols. These tactics bring a frenetic energy to the works, they buzz and vibrate with electric impulses and swift river brush strokes that keep our eyes moving and entertained.
