CRITICAL WRITING by Mattia Lapperier, Art Critic and Historian. See PDF
Myvanwy Gibson understands the fluidity of the contemporary world, the radical changes to which she is constantly subjected, even the deepest contradictions. Her works are the reflection of a continuous mutation, which has become systemic, now an integral part of our way of conceiving ourselves and the world. They welcome multiple layers within them, the result of a process that has its origins in video art from which the artist’s practice began. 
Myvanwy Gibson’s abstract compositions are the result of an automatism; a not entirely conscious process that induces the artist into a state of intimate reunion with nature. This free gestural approach, removed from rigid rational control, determines the manifestation of the natural datum. It does not appear simulated or manipulated by the artist, rather she limits herself to creating the conditions for such interconnections to occur and, consequently, to reveal themselves. A wild, primaeval and sentient nature seems to flow undistuRbed from her works. The violent chromatic lighting, as well as most of the textures that characterise her works, refer to the many species of reptiles and birds native, like herself, to Australia. 
She has from the beginning explored the generative possibilities offered through the use of computer systems, starting from her first experiences with video and has over the last several years, developed a language that passes from analogue to digital and vice versa, in a perpetual cycle.​​​​​​​
