"Robert Macpherson is a direct and complex artist. Direct because the face value of his work is high and can exist without extrapolation; complex because he rewards patient and active looking with moments of quite revelation. While his works might draw on Australia - its occupants and their histories, its vernaculars and taxonomies - he invariably transcends the local, despite living and making art here in Brisbane for over four decades.
One of Australia's most important and resilient artists, whose practice deliberates on the conceptual possibilities of the act of painting and revels in the multitude of languages and arenas that art can make visible, Macpherson extracts surprising and universal meanings from the prosaic and the parochial." (Chris Saines, Robert Macpherson The Painter’s Reach, Brisbane, 2015 exh. cat., p.11)
