Upcoming exhibitions

 I am very excited to announce my upcoming solo exhibition at Tacit Art - do come along and see this show - I am very pleased with the works. It has been a labor of love, stress and swollen fingers over the past 30 weeks or so to create this body of 10 drawings.

Influenced by traditional art of the Middle Ages Bestiary books, this modern take draws on a rich medieval tradtion and blends it with elements of the modern world of A.I and cybernetics. The beasts are creations of mechanical, organic and biomechanical body parts offering a contemporary take on the established form. Each beast was selected based on my own personal affection for the animal (or animosity), and from dragons to cats, each has elements from my own time and place created in pencil drawings in a medieval format.

And have a look online for this exhibition by the Australian Society of Marine Artists. Some wonderful artists are part of this society, creating beautiful marine inspired works. Featuring only small boats, from tugs to dinghy's, the exhibition promises to be interesting!

Tacit Art Stockroom

 Yesterday I posted about the current exhibition at Tacit Art - TJ Bateson's 'The Two of Us'. But I forgot to mention that Tacit also has a street front retail outlet, the Stockroom.

Stroll into the shop, take a work off the wall and walk out of the door! You can browse through this mini gallery style shop, seeking out treasures on the walls, the drawers and flip stacks. Artists include Robyn Burgess, Louise Blyton, Melinda Harper, Jennifer Marshall, Terri Brooks, me and many others.

The Stockroom is found on Johnston Street, just a step around the corner from the upstairs gallery on 191 Johnston Street (next to the Tatoo parlor). So, when you come in to see 'The Two of Us', (or any time you are near), don't forget to drop into the Stockroom downstairs!

Come into the Tacit Art stockroom and browse the wonderful selection of works!

'The Two of Us'

 Goodness! It is the first week of August nearly done already and I haven't posted a thing in the past month. Frankly, I have been pretty busy working on and completing drawings for my upcoming solo exhibition at Tacit Art this October. More information on this to come in the following weeks.

Speaking of Tacit, they are in a transition phase at the moment while they prepare their new gallery space down the road a bit. This will happen early in the new year, meanwhile the exclusive upstairs gallery at Level 1/189 Johnstone Street, Collingwood continues with regular exhibitions.

Currently at this upstairs space, Tacit Art is running a rather special show by Tim Bateson entitled 'The Two of Us'. This deeply personal body of work was created by Tim following his lifesaving bone marrow transplant this time last year. Miraculously he is now cancer-free after a ten-year battle with Mantel Cell Lymphoma, made possible by a bone marrow donation from his daughter May Rose.

I find Tim's works beautiful and emotional expressions of movement and texture. His paintings have a depth and feeling to them that is revealed with study and contemplation. You can stand in front of one of Tim's works and lose yourself in the deceptively simple, yet deep complexity and meditative quality of the works.

I encourage you to seek out this exhibition and enjoy where they take you.
