“Truth to materials through the recognition of the corporeal and haptic topology of paint is central to a painting process focussed upon addition and subtraction. Leaving painted films to build up through a series of pours, brushed veneers and erasures trace a body of thought and primacy of affect of a way of being in the world.” André Lipscombe

André Lipscombe will be trialling experimental methods of painting over the course of his residency. André is a visual artist based in Perth, represented by Art Collective WA, whose practice focuses on a formalist approach to painting and drawing. He has exhibited regularly since graduating from (WAIT) Curtin University in 1983. André has conducted studio practices in Perth, Esperance and Melbourne over thirty years.
