A friend of mine writes the band name that he is listening to in the subject line of his emails when he writes. When I had the privilege to visit Steve Warburton’s studio, he told me that he often uses a song title or lyric of whatever he’s listening to when he’s working as the title of his paintings.
His studio also contains the machine parts that feature in his paintings. Influenced by other Australian Surrealist painters, Rich Amor and James Gleeson, Steve has his own take on Surrealism with architecture, figuration and masuline terrains.
His exhibition, If metal had memory is showing at Pivotal Galleries Richmond.
Just before the exhibition opens, Michael de Valle’s collection of short stories, Going Home, featuring one of Steve’s drawings on the front cover, will be launched at Belgrave Library.
The exhibition and the book are a chance to explore the interaction of narrative, art and overcoming the difficulty of what to put in the subject line.
