» 12/05/2017: Excellent review of Tim Schultz's solo exhibition, Eccentric Melancholy, on new (Melbourne-based) critical platform, Random (re)View. "Allusions to Dali, and to Tanguy's indeterminate space appear obvious yet fond, and whilst at a glance these might appear as just intelligent pastiche I think they are actually richly subversive & playfully serious specters reflecting the archetype human condition. Whereas Modernism might have tried to kill History, these modest pictures suggest that we can always return to a 'mother lode' of the past."
