Simon McGrath explores the elements that make up the urban scenes that so keenly draw his attention. His artworks are constructed from multiple panels, each representing an different element or perspective that interests him.

McGrath’s work explores how a strong connection to place informs identity. Many of the paintings feature buildings from around the Sutherland Shire, where he currently lives, and buildings in the Marrickville area, where he lived previously.

McGrath’s compositions skillfully juxtapose building facades with other ubiquitous elements, such as street signs and graffiti covered objects.

The exhibition is open to the public from 19 Mar to 18 May 2025, Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm daily with free entry.

The Moran Gallery in collaboration with Hazelhurst Arts Centre and Moran Arts Foundation, presents a series of exhibitions that aim to enrich the day to day life of Moran Aged Care residents; their families and the community.  The Gallery showcases Australia’s emerging and established artists allowing residents and visitors to experience first-hand the range of diversity of Australian art.

The Moran Aged Care, lifestyle and leisure programs encourage residents to explore their creativity through workshops conducted by the artists on display. The Moran Health Care Group is also a major supporter of Hazelhurst Arts Centre as a Principal Partner supporting active arts programs for the community.
