Exhibition – Kerrie Warren and Dragi Jankovic

In the West Gippsland art centre at Warragul Vic, two Contemporary Artists came together to produce a stunning show recently, I was fortunate enough to interview Kerrie Warren about the exhibition she shares with Dragi Jankovic. Enjoy…

Kerrie this exhibition is awesome… what was the inspiration for it?
A couple of things came together to create this opportunity, our Arts and Cultural Officer Karen Whitaker-Taylor moved into the West Gippsland Arts Centre to manage incoming exhibitions.  When I heard that she was calling for proposals, I quickly put one in as it has been a number of years since exhibiting major works in my own region.  Later in the year I’ll be busy with Art Sydney, so the timing worked beautifully!

Due to the open space, I asked ceramic artist Dragi Jankovic to exhibit with me in a joint show.  Dragi was just about to take off to Korea on a ceramic arts project and the timing worked well for him too.

You and Dragi go a long way back is this the first time you have exhibited together on this scale (or any scale for that matter.)
Many years ago (approx 17) Dragi was my teacher when I studied for my Diploma of Art in Ceramics but we connected again a few years ago when I invited Dragi to share a space at Art Melbourne with me.  We could clearly see a harmony between our pieces and so did the public.  We received so many positive comments about how it worked together.

Is the work interconnected in some obvious way the viewer will pick up?
No.  Dragi and myself didn’t sit down and plan the concept of the show.  We are both dedicated passionate artists however and I think it connects on that level.  When we installed the work it was truly an amazing experience and we had onlookers…. I would hang a painting and Dragi would place a plinth and a piece of his work…. it seemed every piece had been planned to sit beside my work and vice versa!

The pieces actually sing in ‘harmony’ and the staff at the Arts Centre stood back quite amazed.  To be honest I think we were too, it really appears to be carefully ‘thought out’!  It is a very powerful experience to walk into.

You have done Ceramics yourself, I hear you are getting back into it is that right?
Yes!  I’ve just finished renovating my studio and now I have another area where I’ve set up ceramics.  I wondered if after more than 10 years I could still ‘throw a pot’ and I can!  Years ago as a young artist I had to make a decision to go one way or the other as I had a lack of space and money.  I was becoming quite engrossed in my works on canvas and decided to sell my kiln and clear the space in order to expand my ideas.  I’ve missed ceramics and sculpture being a part of my life and now I am in a position where I can integrate them back into my practise.

Your style has altered a bit over the years from strict borders and masking taped lines to what I will call a “fully organic” open slather approach. Within that, have you seen an evolution of your style?
Yes, I had to grow to where I am now through experience.  I began life as a ‘traditional’ artist and therefore had many blocks to break through to ‘abstract expressionism’.  I followed instincts and felt the pull over time.  Thus there was my geometric period (approx 2001 – 2004) where I explored straight lines and ‘abstract expressionism’ contained within lines (blocks).  It was as if I would allow myself to play within a designated area only.

Well playing within the blocks became the most interesting and fascinating experience, originally seeded by my previous studies in Transpersonal Art Therapy where we would work on the floor.  In early 2005 I looked back at my work and vowed I would never put another straight line on my canvas again, I was ready to indulge myself completely!  It was only through other people referring to my work as ‘Pollock’ style did I then begin to study him myself.  I became intrigued because he had ‘grown’ to that place of abstract expressionism from his own roots, and I had experienced the same.

I have only seen your old studio, the new one you recently completed, does it make a difference to the way you work?
Oh yes!  My new studio is just amazing!  I have a separate ‘splatter studio’ which you can imagine is a necessity… I have a clean area where I stretch canvas, varnish, photograph etc… and a ceramic studio, kiln shed and carport for loading.  It is like a promotion really!  It allows me to operate in a more professional sense and is not connected to our home.  The studio has a separate driveway and parking area and we are now landscaping and building paths…  I think I have a fishpond on the way too!

Your energy and enthusiasm for your work and the promotion thereof is incredible, to me you are a shining light for very active marketing. Is there a reason for that? and does it come easily…

Steve, I’m really happy you feel that coming through.  I suppose I feel absolutely ‘driven’, I always have.  There is always so much to do and so little time…  The energy and excitement is initiated through my work and extends through all things.  While the paint is drying I’m busy with promotions because the energy is always there.  That is partly why I’ve brought ceramics back into my practice, I simply have so much energy for my work and I experience the same in various materials.  I don’t work with a preconceived idea and I think this creates an ongoing excitement for what I do.  Every day is like Christmas in the studio.  It must seem crazy I suppose but I’m always expecting the unexpected… and that is damn exciting!

Exhibition – Net Work the TLF Exhibition

Net Work: the TLF Exhibition by Amanda van Gils – fundbreak.com.au

net-work-logo-web

Net Work: the TLF exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ballarat December 2010 / January 2011 One forum. Thirty-eight artists. Over 100 pieces of art. A museum exhibition with big impact. An exhibition of the work of 38 artists who…

A big show folks, with so many contemporary Artists on show it will be well worth getting to!

Here’s more vital information…

1. Many of the Artists have been interviewed here, on Steve Gray’s blog Art Re-Source! Take a look!

2. Net Work: the TLF exhibition

I am so pleased to be able to finally share with you the details of a truly exciting project, which is nearing it’s public presentation.

For well over a year Amanda van gils been working on developing a large and diverse exhibition of contemporary art. This is the first major exhibition she has curated and she has been fortunate enough to attract a number of very talented artists for the exhibition. “I feel especially blessed to have been offered the premium space at Australia’s oldest and largest regional gallery, the Art Gallery of Ballarat. Amanda said.

The exhibition Net Work: the TLF exhibition will be the feature exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ballarat over Summer, opening on December 11th and continuing to 30th January.

Net Work will be a BIG exhibition……38 artists from 4 States, over 120 meters of wall space (plus a vast amount of floor space), over 100 works of art, all in the biggest regional gallery in Australia. Oh yes and an expected audience of 5000 visitors…. so you can imagine how excited Amanda is!


Supporting this exhibition…
How can you support it?
  • Naturally if you are near Ballarat between the 11th December and 30th January it is hoped you can make time to visit the exhibition. We hope too you will pass the word along to your friends and colleagues who you think might be interested. Having the exhibition viewed and sharing the artwork is really what it’s all about.
But an exhibition like this also requires a lot of time, energy and finances. Currently we’re trying to raise the funds to cover freighting 100 art works from 4 States to Ballarat for the exhibition, and printing a full colour catalogue which will be available in December. We have put together a couple of fundraising options to ensure any supporters get back something for their assistance… other than our gratitude and a wonderful warm feeling.

Firstly, we are able to accept tax deductible donations via the Australian Business Arts Foundation (AbaF) , so come tax time you can legally claim your support as a tax deduction and it costs you nothing. Donations over $2 are tax deductible (excluding family members of participating artists). More information is available from the abaf website.

Or if you’d like a more tangible reward, we are also listed on “Fundbreak” where you can choose an amount to donate and receive gifts in exchange for your support (not tax deductible). Our gifts include postcards, catalogue and even art works, depending on the level of support you choose. Fundbreak is fairly simple. We currently have 43 days to meet our goal. If we don’t achieve it, all money is returned to the donors.

If you are able to support us financially and/or by passing along information about this exhibition, The Curator and the Visual Artists in the exhibition, will be most grateful. Names of financial supporters can be added (with your permission) to a special Supporters page on our website.

You can find out all more about the exhibition on our website: http://www.networkexhibition.com The website includes a wonderful essay by writer and artist Robert Hollingworth. There is news, information about the show, our sponsors and opportunities for people to support the exhibition. And of course there is art. The website includes an artist page for each artist in the exhibition.

Kind Regards

Amanda

Exhibition: 26 August – 5 September 2010

Once upon a time the extraordinary polymath and talented artist Leonardo da Vinci – a true ‘Renaissance man’ – was fascinated by the possibilities of human flight and spent many an hour researching, drawing and experimenting with ways to make it happen.

Hundreds of years later, with the notion of flight taken for granted by many in today’s world, and using various means – from aeroplane, helicopter, micro-light, glider and hang-glider to sky-diving and the more recent form of base-jumping in wingsuits – the three artists in this exhibition were, in a strangely synchronous way, and before any discussions of a having a group exhibition, each producing works derived from their own interests, concerns and/or interpretations regarding the same topic.

Though they found themselves sharing certain ideas about flight – such as metamorphosis, travel, adventure, freedom, the simultaneous experience of isolation and connectedness – as themes they are somewhat subdued in the works and in the exhibition as a whole. The highlight of the exhibition is, rather, the contrast in their individual responses to the notion of flight and the ideas each of them explore in their works, which differ quite substantially. This is not only reflected in the wide range of mediums they deploy but in their processes of production – from small scale, poetic and almost intimate works on paper to large, direct and sometimes daunting sculptures. Overall it makes for an interestingly diverse exhibition that presents a rich variety of perspectives of or relating to flight…

From the ground looking up, some of Watt’s hybrid photo-paintings depict ethereal birds flying elegantly across the vast, open and occasionally dramatic skies of Footscray or the quietude of a house sitting in the street in the half-light of dusk which is only experienced at certain times of the year.

From the sky looking down, Flitcroft’s works – made by binding and wrapping 3D-forms in Japanese hand-made paper that fit inside a frame like a delicate, poetic jigsaw puzzle – refer to the patterns of the acres of farm-land she sees when flying overhead in her micro-light near Bendigo.

And Van Hulsen’s sculptural forms and photo-collages present flight as an exploration of a variety of complex concepts as ‘forms that fly’ – for example, his camouflage insect-aeroplanes explore the idea that the transportation of some bacteria and viruses across the planet can be more deadly than a WWII bomb.

Not only is the widely interpreted notion of ‘flight’ a richly interesting topic to think about today, but the works, the ideas being explored, and those they elicit, will surely form the basis of some very interesting discussion.

Exhibition – Michelle Lee

Michelle Lee – Opening Thursday 2 September 6-8pm

invitation-ml-email-2

Michelle Lee creates work with concepts that resemble her own intuitions towards the subjects in her life. Her images are considerably feminine, where female protagonists act as primarily manifestations of the self.

Frustrations, conformity, eccentricity, dreams and ideals are concepts Michelle often turns to in the creation of her allegorical narratives. She expresses that emotions and thoughts are fundamental to everyday life, where at times they are all consuming and temporarily blind the conscious state of mind. Like reading a diary out loud, her work imbues the sense of both vulnerability and pride.

Michelle keeps every aspect of her subjects in a highly controlled environment. She rarely works with wide angle lenses, as the designer in her finds it difficult to deal with distortion. She shies away from ambient light, preferring the effect of the flash. In addition to light, Michelle controls her characters in their environment, often building her own sets or miniature dollhouse rooms.

Michelle was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where she completed a diploma in Multimedia Design. She began work as an Interactive Designer, which led her to become a producer in a commercial photography studio. In this role she stumbled across her own passion for photography and experimented with an old light box as her main source of light. She then traveled to Melbourne to complete a BA in Photography at RMIT. Her interests lay in portraiture, fine art and fashion photography. Upon graduation in 2009, she was awarded the Kallman Feital’s High Achievement in a Professional Sphere award for outstanding work.

Exhibition – xue mo

Interpreting Mona Lisa

Xue Mo

EXHIBITION: 31ST AUGUST TO 18TH SEPTEMBER 2010

“SERENE and deliberate, the sitters in the portraits of Xue Mo have monumental presence, which is also strange and unnerving. The works are technically brilliant and imitate the Renaissance portrait, with mysterious desert landscapes echoing the ambiguities of the smile.” (Robert Nelson, “The Age”, 18 November 2009).

tana

Xue has been working as a full-time practicing artist since 1998. Interpreting Mona Lisa continues Xue’s unique approach to the genre of portraiture, situating Asian subjects in a highly stylised manner that is reminiscent, both technically and compositionally, of the portraits of early Renaissance artists of the quattrocento period such as Piero della Francesca, Fra Angelico and Andrea Mantegna.

To Xue, these great ‘masters’ epitomize painting in its purest form. Xue draws her subjects from her homeland of Mongolia and is singularly focused on the female subject, impressed by the ‘noble simplicity, natural beauty, and serene dispositions’ of the young fieldworkers. Well documented in the Australian press, Xue’s last exhibition in November 2009 was highly praised by The Age’s critic, Robert Nelson. As he noted:

What gives the works their monumental appearance is the visual clout of the forms inside them. It’s a function of composition and volume, and these formal qualities are reinforced by the statuesque body language of the figure.

More especially, Nelson was particularly impressed with Xue’s facility of line: It’s unusual in Australia to find this knowledge, which is the art of drawing classically defined. And concluded: the figures have a marvellous sense of composure, in which their place in the world is reinforced by the settled gaze that they return to it.

Xue lives and works in Beijing, China, and has had solo exhibitions in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, the USA and Canada.

Best known for her large installations that have been made for museums, sculpture parks and galleries in many countries, Rosie Leventon is now showing her drawings for the first time in London.
“Leventon’s drawings combine expressive energy with a sculptor’s instinct for ground and depth. Surfaces are tactile, often evoking organic sculptural materials, or referencing the elemental aspects of landscape. Some of the drawings also contain Middle Eastern hand writing and calligraphy.”  Tom Flynn
Her work has recently been bought by the Henry Moore Institute, and recent shows include: The Workshop of Hereafter, Blyth Gallery, Imperial College, Unfold, Nettie Horn Gallery, Concrete & Glass, Shoreditch Town Hall, Prospects & Interiors, Henry Moore Institute, Leeds.

Affordable Art? Where…

If your walls could talk they’d say, ‘I don’t care if there is a recession, I’m sick of being bare’.

Cover your white space, dispose of tattered college posters (puppies are not art, people) and spruce up your home with affordable art from our favourite places.

Textile designer Anna Hill uses nature as inspiration for her digitally printed wallpapers, which feature brightly coloured birds, tigers, cherry blossoms and other plants and animals. Her designs are intended to fit an entire wall with no repetitive patterns, so each piece is made to order (£40-£120/meter square).

For a more personal touch, turn your favourite photos into art with a Catkin Collection family tree. Add images of your family or friends to the branches to make art imitate life (£42).

Born from the owners’ love of typography and screen-printing, the quirky limited-edition prints at Keep Calm Gallery have amusing messages (‘The first mistake of art is to assume it’s serious’) and emoticons like <3 spelled out (‘less than three’). The recently launched original artwork section features a series of whimsical collages by up-and-comer Matthew Rose (£170).

Can’t afford a Banksy? Little Art Book offers the next best thing: a limited-edition collection of work by the freshest new names from the streets. If you haven’t heard of Oh Death or The Krah, you will soon. Watch this space (£60-£450).

Search The Few Gallery for prints by graphic artists and illustrators from around the world. We love Brit artist Sean Freeman’s striking peacock and Spaniard Gary Fernandez’s surreal portrayal of an ordinary day in the park (£176).

The team at New Blood Art scour art school shows to find undiscovered talent. There are thousands of paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures and prints to choose from, all sorted into price categories so you can easily find something for less than £50 or more than £3,000.

Can’t decide which to buy? Check out our ten favourite pieces of affordable art.

Exhibition – City of the Damned

June 3rd till july 3rd – easy dates to remember but put them in your diary as well, just so you don’t miss the fantastic new exhibition at gallery e55 which is at 55 elizabeth Street, Melbourne, Victoria.

Entry is free and on show will be a number of photographs showing the making of the much anticipated new Aussie feature film “City of the Damned” starring Wilbur Wilde, Marty Rhone, Scott O’Halloran and Sarah Ranken.

The exhibition runs for a whole month starting at 6 pm on Jun 3rd and limited edition prints and posters will be available for sale as well as screening of the very first ‘teaser’ trailer for the movie which is due in cinemas later this year.

The on set photographer in question is the fabulously talented Tegan Ringin, whose work is sure to be in high demand in the future both by movie makers and also other areas of photographic excellence. At only 20 years old she has already made a big splash on the Melbourne film making scene with her work so it is very appropriate that she is now working with renowned UK born film director, Jonty Reason of Pittot Films, the company behind “City of the Damned”.

The movie tells the story of Andy Dunkin, a young man for whom the pressures of life just get too much and eventually he cracks, with devastating results. It was shot entirely in and around melbourne, both on locations and also at the new Seaford Film Studio facility near Frankston.

The filmmakers themselves have also made a little bit of history with this film because it is the very first full length feature film to be shot on a stills camera. That’s right the producers took a stock Canon EOS7D and used its much hyped HD movie mode to shoot a feature film. “The results are absolutely stunning as it gave us so much flexinility” the producer said recently.

Myself and 10 other artists will open the doors to our studios and welcome you to discover more about our creative process and our practice as professional artists.
