The developers for this project, HR Group, are proud to have engaged Max Gimblett and Gow Langsford Gallery to provide curated artwork for Elysian. These exquisite pieces will adornthe walls of the main lobby and the landing of each level.
Max Gimblett has been selected as the primary artist showcased at Elysian, having been chosen for his bold, expressive style that adds vibrant moments of contrast to the building's refined interior aesthetic.
Max Gimblett has been represented by Gow Langsford Gallery since 1988. His practice is rich with varied influences and philosophies, from abstract expressionism to Eastern and Western spiritual beliefs. Known for creating distinct canvas shapes, such as the quatrefoil, he expresses his energy through painting and continues to experiment with form, colour, and precious metals in his practice today. Bridging cultures and spiritualities, his work is based on concepts of consciousness and enlightenment, which manifest in brightly coloured gestural abstractions.
