After his remarkable 2006 exhibition, aeiou, Clinton Nain is back with a new exhibition of paintings, using the metaphorical mediums of bitumen and 'house paint' (in a colonial palette). His potent and recurrent motifs of hearts, targets, dresses and scrawled notation are ever-present, but Nain is always developing his personal language and excavating new meanings and resonances from his deceptively simple ingredients.
Make sure you see it if in Melbourne.
