The elemental corporeality of Carl Sutherland's painting leaves no doubt of his commitment to subject - the legacy of a geological profession. That former life involved extended periods of fieldwork in remote Australian locations, imbuing Sutherland with a deep and poetic appreciation for the structure and form of landscape - an appreciation enriched by his morphological objectiveness.
The unique materiality of geophysical forms and the processes of
fossilization pervade Sutherland's work, alternately slate-scratched, dark and
scathed - then, volcanically tactile, and grave with physical weight.
