COMPOSITES SOLO EXHIBITION, 2019
This is no fantasy + dianne tanzer gallery, Melbourne

Through the meticulous and familiar arrangement of a sequence of colours, Coulter’s latest Melbourne Solo exhibition ‘composites’ brings together a new proposition of geometry in the artist’s work, whilst also extending the dialogue into new material and spatial forms. Ideas are combined, in creation of more complex and detailed compositions that embrace a feeling of ‘decoration’ rather than reduction.

The spatial dialogue reverberates across genres, through painting, installation and sculpture, across architectural space, three dimensional objects and two dimensional planes. In Coulter’s practice, colour is a repetitive idea and a conceptual concern. Outcomes are derived here from the combination, arrangement, proportion and placement of the spectrum of colours we have become acquainted with.

There is a desire for the union of high and low culture to meet, mingle and have a party of sorts, through making new statements about what culture is and who’s invited through the idea of colour, and its many associations.
