Hamilton Darroch is a regional artist dividing his time between Canberra and Young and whose work ranges across various mediums including drawing, painting, sculpture and performance. Through his travels and work as an assistant to British artist Bridget Riley over the past eight years, Darroch has developed an intimate understanding of colour.

Darroch  paints geometric compositions that he imbues with perceptible movement of the picture plane through a masterful understanding of colour disruption. Darroch also uses this vibrating colour technique on his sculptures of everyday domestic objects transforming them from their humble status into poetic and sensitive experiences.
Darroch's in-situ wall painting can be seen evolving on the gallery walls throughout the exhibition.
