Based in New York for the
past 40 years, Max Gimblett has established himself as New Zealand’s premier
expat expressionist. He has earned this reputation by diligently exploring the
possibilities of a streamlined formal vocabulary in which Eastern mysticism and
Western abstraction intersect. Gimblett's career spans over
forty-five years and he is increasingly recognised as a key artist in the Asia
Pacific region. This was demonstrated by his inclusion in The Third Mind 2009
Guggenheim show, which traced how artists working in the west have adapted and
transformed eastern ideas and artistic forms into their practices.
