OLD AND LOST RIVERS 20 MAR – 15 APR 2020


GARRY CURRIN

With a view toward the romantic, Old and Lost Rivers is a body of work as homage to our land and our waterways. Garry Currin's extraordinary landscape paintings hover effortlessly between abstract and representational, the past and the present; memory and real life.

All our pasts belong among the ripples 
of ancestors whom we cannot name. 
They are rounded by rivers 
that hustle them on and leave them 
more insistent than ever. 
Like spent spinners our dreams at dusk 
fall back to the river 
and drift away.
