Description
'As long as I can remember I've been aware of vernacular road signage, country fresh produce signs, roadside gas food etc...I find a beautiful poetry in this, the consant repainting of signs producing a beautiful scumbling of line and paint surface, a wonderful directness of means and unselfconciousness in the use of paint often lost in so-called high art'. Robert MacPherson quoted in the exhibition publication Robert MacPherson by Trevor Smith for the Art Gallery of Western Australia in 1993.
