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.
