Nick Santoro: Hewitts Avenue montage, 2019

Nick Santoro: Hewitts Avenue montage, 2019 (NSWAG)

 

"Life felt precarious, disorganised and scattered." -- from the painter's notes about this painting, which was selected as a finalist for the Sulman Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 2019.

 

The more you look the more you see - and I recall that some of the motifs really spoke to me at the time (this was last year). Looking today, the skull, the skeleton, and the guy with the beard & sunnies wearing the hot pink coat and carrying a handbag grabbed my attention first...

 

The next time I looked, the llama leapt out at me first... I keep wondering what I might put into such a collage for these times? Feels like the answer to this question could be an interesting project...
