Malcolm Noakes-Smith at The Gallery at Mattick's Farm

Malcolm's current works are large-scale oil or acrylic seascapes characterized by varying levels of abstraction. Each of his paintings is born of memory, as a rule he only paints from a personal photo or sketch of a location of personal significance. These West Coast seascapes have been his most introspective pieces to date. Absolute authorship is crucial to the process. Malcolm abstracts his work as a means of communicating the feeling of the location: the motion of wind, the sound of the surf, the texture of fresh sand.

This exhibit will be up the month of March 2013 .

I feel we should not neglect tradition in life hence inspire to reflect this in my art. Inspirations are drawn from Turner, Hopper, Henry Moore, Hepworth and Hockney. They have inspired and influenced my my"

Other mediums and forms that I have worked in include metal, clay and stone sculpture, photography, and print making.
