Max Gimblett b. 1935, Aotearoa New Zealand. Lives in USA
Max Gimblett’s practice is rich with varied influences and philosophies, from abstract expressionism to Eastern and Western spiritual beliefs. Known for creating distinct canvas shapes, such as the quatrefoil, he expresses his energy through painting and continues to experiment with form, colour, and precious metals in his practice today. Bridging cultures and spiritualities, his work is based on concepts of consciousness and enlightenment, which manifest in brightly coloured gestural abstractions. Gow Langsford Gallery has represented Max Gimblett since 1988.
