Studio mate Michael Gromm - Solo Show

Michael Gromm's Summer bummer summer runs 4th March 2025 - 29th March 2025 at Flinders Land Gallery, Melbourne, Australia.

I have an innate fascination with what is not known, and enjoy those moments when my eyes perceive things incorrectly. Those moments, usually out of the corner of my eye, when a few shapes or movements blend together to trigger a response from my consciousness. My works delve into the unknown and form unplanned, unending puzzles; a game of charades for both me and the viewer.  However, among the puzzles there exists an overarching awareness that sets the direction of my works, and strikes a fundamental balance between letting the paint do as it wants, and making it do as it is told. - Michael Gromm, Artist Statement
