There is a feeling of wonder in Ted May's new series of works, which reference objects as diverse as ancient Greek vases to paintings from the Australian modernist period. May’s new works depict giant trees, alien botanical arrangements, stacked and discarded fragments and entwined figures all set on a low horizon against a deep background. May is an artist whose serendipitous approach takes various twists and turns, but always result in a cohesive body of work that affirms his position as one of the most talented artists of his generation.
