What The Blue Note Wrote On Brick Mountain | Mitchell Cheesman

Mitchell Cheesman unveils his eagerly awaited seventh solo exhibition 'What The Blue Note Wrote On Brick Mountain’

Mitchell Cheesman is back!! A stunning new collection, captured in his distinctive impasto style and expression, for his eagerly awaited seventh solo exhibition, What The Blue Note Wrote On Brick Mountain.

What The Blue Note Wrote On Brick Mountain
“When I came up with the title it was instantly appealing, appearing to me as to what could be the title of an unknown Penguin’s Classic novel from the 1920’s sitting at the dusty back shelf of the Buderim Rare Bookshop situated just up the hill from where I live and paint.

The story, although undiscovered by many, contains outbursts of blind freedom contrasting to the structural boundaries built by bricks at the other end, shaping an atmosphere of poems in the form of bold tactility. A visual travel book accommodating houses, signs, statues, gardens, sounds, scents, swans, shadows and half-pence.

Wherever I go, alone or not, I will sit and draw and gather my surroundings, collecting everything I feel and marking it into the blank page, real landscapes reimagined. Nature is the only reason I can paint, it is the subject. Collecting small parts of nature and placing them together on a surface, is why the paintings appear the way they do.

Poet’s are collectors, observers and pourers of the world and I’m a poet of paint.”
