In FRESH FISH, his solo exhibition in 2006 Paul Moncrieff took as the motif an archetypal fish form floating within the boundaries of the support. The works are a response to his meanderings along local Perth beaches.

"The simple repetitive composition of these works has allowed me to focus on formal elements of colour, texture and edge. The larger works are further simplified, leaving only the horizontal bands of colour referencing the ever-changing mood of the ocean."

Paul Moncrieff recently retired as Senior Lecturer, Coordinator of Painting at the School of Contemporary Arts, Edith Cowan University, Mount Lawley, Western Australia.
