The practice of Sydney-based artist Ian Greig is visually informed by the reflective surface of water. The play of light across the surface of a pond creates a beautiful, ephemeral floating world of shifting perspectives, ambiguous spatial illusions and abstract traces of a reflected reality. For Greig, these sources of inspiration provide a rich and complex visual experience that not only lends itself to aesthetic exploration via the processes of painting but moves the mind to contemplation and reverie beyond the world of the commonplace.
