Montage of Attractions
Matthew Browne 26 Feb - 22 Mar 2025 Auckland City In the wake of grief, a very personal new body of work has emerged from Tāmaki Makaurau-based painter Matthew Browne. With a highly skilled and established practice in geometric abstraction, Browne has often explored the metaphorical, unseen and emotive within his formalist compositions. Montage of Attractions takes his practice even further into the realm of personal expression, after the death of his father, with an incredibly impressive output of 92 works on paper and a suite of paintings. The title of the show stems from Sergei Eisenstein’s 1923 film theory, reflecting on how an audience can be profoundly moved by a sequence of ‘attractions’—the audience working to piece together fragments of a narrative into the full story. This journey of montage is one that Browne’s latest exhibition delves into. Read more -
