IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO NAME
AN AUSTRALIAN PAINTER WHO
CREATES WORK WITH AS MUCH
INTELLECTUAL RIGOUR AS TOM
POLO. HIS PRACTICE ENCOURAGES
US TO RE-LEARN THE ACT OF SEEING
AND TO READ PAINTINGS IN A WAY
THAT GOES BEYOND THE SURFACE,
INTO DIFFERENT WORLDS OF
PERFORMANCE AND INTROSPECTION.
POLO BREATHES LIFE INTO AN AGE-
OLD MEDIUM OFTEN SEEN AS TIRED
AND WORN DOWN IN THE PULSATING
WORLD OF CONTEMPORARY ART.Story EUGENE YIU NAM CHEUNG
