Visitors are encouraged to experience the solo exhibition of new work by Australian artist Stephen Bram, currently being presented at Anna Schwartz Gallery until Saturday 18 June.

In this series of new paintings, Stephen Bram generates dynamic and colourful geometric forms, drawing on Bram’s practice, defined by innovations in abstract painting and the representation of architectural space.. This marks a significant departure in the artist’s visual language, known for hard-edge geometry and a muted palette. Bram’s spectrum of colour acts as a catalyst for shifts in the experience of space and composes an oscillating, multi-dimensional field.

Bram’s unique method of creating painting using vanishing points began in the late 1980’s with two or three points drawn from the space outside the painting onto the picture plane. In this symbiotic relationship between art and architecture, the meeting of lines constitutes the structure of the paintings and delimits their configuration.

Throughout his career over the past three decades, Bram has followed rigorous logic and allowed his process to lead him to new territories, including painting directly onto the walls and building interior architectural spaces. This recent body of work invokes the work of likeminded conceptual artists, such as Daniel Buren and Sol LeWitt, who consistently challenge the systems they create as a means to revolutionise their practice and create new meaning.
