FEBRUARY 8 - MARCH 8
Prof. KIM YONG SIK
"Eternity & Limitation" is Sik's
second one-man exhibition in Australia and is imbued with symbolic communication.
Prof. Kim Yong Sik's work is cheifly about the sublime, the ideas of eternity
and infinity, and in that the work is complex, layered, and multivalent. |
|
|
MARCH 12 - APRIL 5
ADRIAN PAGE
Page's work closely resembles the process of
architecture to building - where the conceived idea is computer drawn
in 3D, then accurately drawn as 2D "working drawings" which
are electronically sent to the laser cutting industry, which in turn is
transported to the artist's studio for the bolted assembly of the individual
components. |
|
|
RODNEY
STENNARD
Stennard's working process has an emphasis on
mapping, measuring and representing observation in terms of drawing. The
works are mappings of the observation of receeding space which which have
associations with the landscape tradition but perhaps in a politically
neutral way. |
|
|
APRIL 9 - MAY 3
GAYLE SLATER
Objects which were once new command attention
because their presence was strong. Now faded or torn, they evoke a new,
finer quality: they are fragile and as such so much more precious. Slater
treads softly and pays respect to the gentle interplay between beauty
and ffragility caused by the passage of time. |
|
|
CLIFF
BURTT [profiled artist]
Dark, dramatic and austere, the semi-abstract
forms are evocative of a timeless landscape which curve and flow in a
series of linked rhythms. The work is characterised by a feeling for proportion
and balance which is evident in the simple articulation of form.
|
|
|
MAY 7 - MAY 31
VIKI PETHERBRIDGE
Petherbridge's work combines the metaphysical
and the surreal, which is achieved through photography, painting and collage.
Portrait, scenery and object all blended into one vision with the camera
and the brush challenging each other. This current exhibition concentrates
on the physical form with emotive content designed to draw the the viewer
into the personality of the subject. |
|
|
TIM
NEATE
Tim Neate's work is an interpretation of the
contemporary world and its characters. Everyday life is expressed through
a mass of texture and colour where the full story is found in the detail.
|
|
|
JUNE 4 - JUNE 28
JANINA
GREEN [profiled artist]
Green's work has focused on the exploration of facets of feminism, particularly
domesticity and sexuality. Much of the imagery centers around the female
body, even if sometimes by association. In recent times these issues have
been explored in more nostalgic and poetic ways highlighted by her extensive
use of hand colouring dyes. |
|
|
CHRIS
BOLD
Bold's sculpture, in mild steel, takes a fresh
look at a repetoire of different shapes. Linear and rod-like, they are
ambiguous in depth and show no physical complex mechanisms. |
|
|
JULY 12 - AUGUST 9
PAUL
JURASZEK
Working often on a huge scale and in stone, marble,
wood and metal, Juraszek's representational sculptures are impressive
for their scale and presence created by his choice of subject. In the
current exhibition, there are small and intimate works which are linked
to ancient civilisation and Greek and Roman Mythology. |
|
|
EOLO
BOTTARO
Bottaro's artwork could easily be described as
"figurative" in it's overall appearance. However, the intention
is for each individual picture to represent a narrative, that is the artist's
own interpretation of stories, fables and myths drawn from his cultural
heritage. |
|
|
AUGUST 13 - SEPTEMBER 6
IAN GRIEG
The Drift series and the Botanic Pond series
continue Griegs concern with exploring aesthetic analogies of water as
a shifting surface. greigs abstract expressionist pictures are in a constant
state of flux which persue the ineffsble. |
|
|
MARCUS
WILLS [profiled artist]
A collection of small paintings, as an investigation
into the suggestion of narrative through physiognomy, exploring aspects
of the face and body by way of counternance and posture. |
|
|
SEPTEMBER 10 - OCOTBER 4
STEFAN GEVERS
Felt sculptures created by "printing"
felt on felt, resulting in an exploration of placement and space by way
of minimal design and colour, and inspired by architecture and indusrtial
shapes. |
|
|
FILOMENA
COPPOLA [profiled artist]
A brilliant energy is generated through the dynamic
oppositions between dark/light, part/whole, and microcosm/macrocosm both
within and between the works. Verticle and horizontal forms pull against
each other and shimmer between two and three dimensions. - Sarah Scott |
|
|
OCTOBER 8 - NOVEMBER 1
BEN SHEERS
Paintings that explore the landscape of Morinington
Peninsula's and Phillip Island's unban fringe where organic forms of coastal
vegetation visually compete with the geometry of human development. The
works capture a sense of visual poetry created through disparate forms,
whilst also invoking a metaphysical presence. |
|
|
JUISEPPE
RANERI
Raneri uses rich colours and decorative patterns
to tell sombre stories of loss and abandonment, senseless war and suffering.The
works are built up gradually, with many layers of colour, and then scratched
back as the ceramic dries. |
|
|
NOVEMBER 5 - NOVEMBER 29
HARRY NANKIN
[profiled artist]
Ffinely-detailed, dark, x-ray-like shadowgram
films created on site using nocturnal flash and moonlight. Dramatic photographs
interpreting a remnant block of Mallee landscape at life-scale. |
|
|
IAN
McINTOSH
Mcintosh's pictures are about putting into order
the so-called ordinary and everyday he finds around himself. Using collage
and mixed media his work draws together elements from popular cunture,
advertising and poublic art to make artworks are part wall poster, part
ironic and part political. |
