Featured Artist - John Gilfillan
- Sulman Finalist - 2005

The writhing, ambiguous lifeforms that burst to the surfaces of Gilfillan's paintings, are suggestive of Dr Seuss characters. Titles such as, Run! I am, I am, said Sam, herald a hyperactive imagination that is simultaneously controlled and chaotic.

These shimmering sea and earthscapes harbour morphic explosions created with such feathered delicacy that the seeming turbulence evaporates into joyful playfulness. A decade of reading nursery rhymes to his children has both tamed and released a wild imagination and a fearless intelligence.

These recent works by Sulman finalist, John Gilfillan are his best and most exciting yet.

Mind Maps is showing at Salmon Galleries, 71 Union Street, McMahons Point until 23 August.
