Paul Moncrieff

Biography

Moncrieff has been exhibiting since 1978 in Perth, regional WA and also on occasion i the Eastern States. In this time, he has had 20 solo, 10 shared and innumerable group exhibitions. His paintings, drawing and prints are now part of a considerable number of major public and private Australian art collections. Over the years he has curated 10 exhibitions with selected artists. Until 2007, he was the co-ordinator of the Painting and Drawing programme at Edith Cowan University. Moncrieff's studio work evolves directly from observed and experienced incidents which metamorphose in the studio into designed and made art objects. His practice is nonfigurative - formal juxtapositions of shaped and painted industrial surfaces. He lives and works at KENTDALE on the south coast of Western Australia

Artist Statement

Since 2010 my practice has evolved into the concrete, the non-objective object, non-figurative formalism. Using utilitarian workable plywood, timber supports, and pre-mixed colours of acrylic paint I have assembled many varieties of hard-edged compositions.
