• Notes:
  Writing on a similar work exhibited in "Modern Paints Aotearoa" (at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki April - March 2015), Frances Lojkine says “One of the differences between the new modern paints and traditional oil paints was that the more liquid modern paints did not have the same ability to produce rich impasto effects...Experimenting in a different way, Matchitt painted thick layers of smooth PVA paint over each other, which then allowed him to carve intricate patterns into the drying paint...” Cf. http://tinyurl.com/Matchitt.
