Undercurrent arises out of Jeremy Kirwan-Ward’s questioning of the paradox of ‘still movement’ in relation to natural phenomena. This installation of two vast paintings envelopes the viewer in light and reflects the artist’s encounter with sensations of water.

Jeremy Kirwan-Ward is a painter engaging with the language of colour-field abstraction working in Fremantle. He has been exhibiting since 1971. His works are held in collections including the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Artbank, the National Gallery of Australia, the Kerry Stokes Collection and the Wesfarmers Collection. He is represented by Perth Galleries.
