Jack Irvine: Simple Pleasures

Apr 15, 2021 - May 16, 2021

This dynamic solo show at aMBUSH Gallery displays over two dozen paintings full of colour and movement, produced in a bold, animated style that’s sure to elicit smiles.

The works transport the audience to multi-coloured worlds that explore what many will identify as life’s daily joys – sunshine, road trips, freedom, nature, and the enjoyment of reading and watching television – things that Jack took for granted before the pandemic hit.

Completed during Melbourne’s lengthy lockdown in 2020, the paintings were created with a foundation of humour, sentimentality and a sense of endearment. Jack describes the subject matters in Simple Pleasures as “Things that encapsulate positive memories throughout my life. Things that before the pandemic I lacked appreciation for, and in hindsight I’ve realised how amazing those times were.”
