"What was successful of my interiors [Pseudo Sanctuary series] was how subtle they were and not so in-your-face. All the sets I had been painting were from Victorian houses and I wanted to make something more North American. Something more isolated. So I took these houses and placed them in a rural and isolated setting," Simpson explains."These are a continuation of the Pseudo Sanctuary series because, to me, these paintings are as much about the interior as the rooms are. But these are Town & Country. They are more from where you and I grew up. Duck-patterned wall paper, wood paneling interiors, not so high-class like in Pseudo Sanctuary," adds Simpson.
The exhibit opening this Friday features what comes after the Shadow Houses, Simpson's series entitled The Interiority Complex. I missed the show he had at Cutts this summer so I thought it wouldn't hurt to revisit these works as a primer.
