‘Tracery is an architectural term referring to decorative openwork, particularly in Gothic design. It seems the right word to describe the distinctive open-weaved ceramic forms I’ve been developing over the past few decades - forms that are intricate and skeletal, echoing the inherent architecture of nature.

These sculptural forms are both a celebration of our planet’s extraordinary biodiversity and a meditation on its vulnerability. I think of them as speculative evolutions — imagined organisms that embody resilience, beauty, transformation, and humour. Underlying is the question: what kind of future are we shaping for the ecosystems we depend on? By tracing the inherent patterns of natural forms, I’m discovering a universal rhythm that connects all living things.’ TRACIE BERTRAM

Tracie Bertram is a ceramic artist based on Worimi Country in the Great Lakes region of New South Wales. Her sculptural practice is grounded in a deep reverence for the natural world, exploring the complex and often fragile relationship between humanity and nature through biomorphic forms and textures.

Since graduating from the Hunter Institute of Higher Education in 1987, Tracie has exhibited widely in solo and group shows across Newcastle, Sydney, Melbourne, and regional NSW. She completed a Master of Fine Arts at the University of Newcastle in 2007 and has received grants for numerous public and private art projects and commissions. Her work is held in the collection of the Newcastle Region Art Gallery.

This year, Tracie has been a finalist in the Gosford Art Prize and the Leda Art Prize and is currently showing at Maitland Regional Gallery as part of their contemporary ceramic’s exhibition titled Mud to Masterpiece.

In addition to her studio practice, Tracie is a dedicated educator, teaching Fine Arts and Ceramics at Newcastle Art School – TAFE and the Great Lakes Campus – TAFE.

Damien Minton Presents welcomes back artist Elizabeth Treweeke who repurposes domestic based objects into re imagined sculptural forms.

Please enjoy viewing a selection of the nearly 90 artworks in the exhibition.

‘The Good Egg continues a line of inquiry that began in my 2023 exhibition Off the Hook, where I first introduced sewing pins into my work. That gesture brought me back to my time living in Tokyo, when I encountered Hari-Kuyō — the Festival of Broken Needles. It’s a Buddhist and Shinto ritual, in which old and broken sewing needles are carefully placed into soft substances like tofu or the jelly like konnyaku. The softness cradles the needles, offering them rest after their “service,” while the act itself becomes a way of thanking tools that have worked so intimately, often invisibly, in daily life. For me, the starting point for this new exhibition was a similar act of pressing pins into foam.

At the heart of my practice is collecting, assemblage, pattern, and repetition — often played out through multiples. I am preoccupied with the pairing, ordering, and placement of materials, because I find that when items are massed or reconfigured, they take on unexpected new meanings.

My process is highly intuitive. Works are edited and re-edited, and failure is part of the rhythm. For every “egg” that survives in this collection, there were two or three others that fell short.

I am drawn to everyday objects that are usually overlooked — pins, eggcups, Tupperware — things that quietly occupy domestic life without recognition. In shifting their context, I want to allow them to be seen anew, no longer as mere utility but as carriers of memory, humour, and desire. What interests me here is the tension and humour that arises when the humble and the unpretentious are reimagined into sculptural form and “elevated” to art.

Ultimately, The Good Egg is my own personal Hari-Kuyō — a celebration and a gesture of gratitude. It is about thanking the pins, the plastics, the kitchenware for their service, while also creating space for these materials to resonate with memory, domesticity, and the quiet beauty of transformation. The work becomes a site where those histories are absorbed and reimagined through a lens that is personal, domestic, and feminine.’ ELIZABETH TREWEEKE

‘This suite of work developed when sculptures replaced humans in an interior space. Initially they were stand-ins for figures, creating figurative paintings without people actually being in them. The work took shape as figures representing ideas rather than embodying a person going about their business. The representations of figures are icons and memories both past and imagined.

Interiors show a landscape that has been created over time with items gathered intentionally and by happenstance. The items and the spaces themselves become landmarks within our memories, which we often move on from. As time passes our ideas and ideals evolve and as a species with deep attachment to narrative we look to the past and find icons to bring back to life and place under a contemporary lens. This brings to mind the memory enhancement technique where one creates a MEMORY PALACE. A visualisation of familiar environments with significance placed in different areas to use association, improving recall. It seems like a suitable analogy for where culture is currently situated.

I like that the MEMORY PLACE technique, also known as the Method of Loci, is a remnant of the teachings of Ancient Greece. I like it was rediscovered by the Ancient Romans and is again in use today.’ SCOTT OWEN

Scott Owen (b. Darwin 1988) is a Sydney based artist who explores observational painting with a focus on colour and texture. He completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting at the National Art School Sydney in 2015, and was selected as a finalist in the Interior Art Prize 2024, the York Botanic Art Prize 2020 and the Eutick Memorial Still life Award in 2019.

We welcome the second solo exhibition by artist Greg Clarke with Damien Minton Presents..

“In my recent paintings, I’ve sought to capture the things that excite me visually in a more realistic and textural way, while still holding onto the simple geometric forms and calming colour palettes of my earlier abstract works. I was first drawn to swimming pools with their hard, defined edges contrasted against the fluid sparkle of blue water. The clean simple lines of pavers, the play of shadows on solid concrete walls, and the soft distortion of black lines beneath the surface all fascinated me. I wanted to capture that moment of standing at the pool’s edge, gazing down into the cool blue depths before diving in.

From backyard pools and ocean baths, I was inspired to paint the solid edges of other things: a lighthouse watching the horizon, weathered billboards, and buildings outlined against pale blue open skies. The three sculptures continue the swimming pool theme, each inspired by the simple geometric shape of the classic kidney-shaped pool.” GREG CLARKE

Greg Clarke is a multidisciplinary artist whose career spans four decades. Not confined to any single art form he is a painter, sculptor, photographer, performer and festival director.

After graduating from the South Australian Art School of Art with a BA in Fine Art studying photography and print making and performing in the art school band Pluto in Paris, Greg moved to Sydney in 1985. From an old tomato sauce factory studio in Darlinghurst, he pursued his career as an artist - painting, creating collages and performing in the band Kiss Me Stupid. He exhibited in a number of solo and group shows in Sydney, Canberra, and Adelaide before relocating to New York in 1989.

Returning to Sydney a year later, Greg founded the Sunset Club at Bondi Beach - a turning point that launched his career as a successful creative producer and festival director. Throughout the 1990s, he ran the Downstairs Theatre at Belvoir St, co-created the infamous Jamie and Vanessa parties, and produced the long-running Spicy Friday nightclub at the Lansdowne Hotel.

From 2000 to 2007, Greg worked at the Sydney Opera House as a Producer before becoming Head of Events for The Rocks and Darling Harbour. In 2010, he returned to Adelaide as Director of the Adelaide Fringe Festival, where he and his team created large-scale public artworks including The Sirens, Disco Cuttlefish, and the Fringe Parade.

Greg returned to Sydney in 2015 to take on the role of Creative Director of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras as well as Director of Launceston’s Junction Arts Festival.

Now living in a subtropical rainforest on the mid-north coast of NSW, Greg is focused full-time on his art practice. His oil paintings and sculptures are celebrated for their geometric balance, minimalist forms, harmonious colour planes, and calm, pared-back aesthetic.

The works in St. Ends are an assembly of people, places and objects that have become symbolic to me. Some of the symbols and gestures are more obvious or recognisable than others.

While each image was made at a specific time and place, they’re not arranged in a linear or chronological way. They may seem disparate, though to me they trace a path of many of the bonds that shape my life.

As an example, during Covid I started taking pictures of flowers on walks to sort of ‘keep my eye in’. As time passed, I found that for me the images became imbued with significance and emotion, symbolising some respite or freedom during a time of lockdowns, quarantines and illness.

The words “St. Ends” are inscribed on one half of a ‘best friends’ necklace I treasure. Although an image of the necklace doesn’t feature in the show, to me the letters alone work as an ideogram for connection. SAM JAMES

Sam James is a Sydney based artist who studied at the Sydney College of the Arts and Edith Cowan University, WA. He has exhibited in both Sydney, Fremantle and Perth since 2004. He works to share and exchange experiences with the printed images in his roles at Pixel Perfect Prolab and the University of Technology Sydney.

ROSLYN SHARP | SUITE & SWEET

WK 5 | 13 SHOWS 13 WEEKS 25

OPENING NIGHT TUES 7 OCT 2025 | 6-8 opening address by Louis Nowra writer, playwright, screenwriter and long term Kings Cross resident

ONE WEEK WED 8 TO SAT 11 OCT 2025 11 – 6 50 BUCKINGHAM ST SURRY HILLS\GADIGAL

‘This exhibition Is my love song and lament to Kings Cross where I have lived now for over 40 years.

The borders of Kings Cross are porous stretching into all of the gullies on all sides of the ridge. Many people have said it before but there is a magnetic force, a magic that draws people to live here. Once the most densely populated place in Australia I think it strange this location does not have it’s own postcode.

I love the mix here. High low and everything between, its a place whose fabric is always changing, but always tolerant towards the different, the marginalised, where the outrageous is played out on the street and who knows what else behind closed doors.

A ”High Street’ like no other place on the continent maybe the reason comes back to geography, Before Invasion there were Bora Bora grounds while Governor Macquarie saw its economic and social potential declaring the sliver of sandstone the dress circle of the new colony a perfect site for a string of windmills as well as mansions of the “great and good”. Being close to the deep waters of Woolloomooloo maritime industries, wars and immigration brought very different qualities to the Cross.

In 1947 Chips Rafferty complained that the Cross had “gone to the dogs- too many coffee shops”! Love it or hate it, it will always be “up the Cross” for me. In spite of inexorable gentrification, absurd government edicts and council decisions there is an energy here that I cannot do without.

Suite & Sweet brings together unique vintage prints, portraits and photo documentation with more contemporary reflections of the life around me.’ - ROZ SHARP

LOUIS NOWRA VIEWS FIVE IMAGES IN THE EXHIBITION

Franconia rooftop, Macleay Street, ConnorThe image is magical. 8-year-old Conner is like a fruit bat, as he swings on a Hills hoist on a rooftop that overlooks Sydney and the evening sky. His world and the city seem to belong to a Golden Age. He is the third generation that has lived in the Franconia building, a luxurious and elegant Art Deco nine-storey apartment block designed by Walter Nielson in 1928. The photograph shows a different Kings Cross from the sometimes grim and brash stereotype. What is forgotten is that Kings Cross is on a hill and for decades its flats were sold as having spectacular views, as his photo proves.

Piccolo Bar, Ayesha, Dr Ray Seidler and owner, Vittorio Bianchi The Piccolo Bar was small, but it attracted huge egos and talents. This archly posed photo shows the owner Vittorio Bianchi (sharp tongue, rogue humour and hopelessly in love with theatre), who ran it for fifty years, dying this year. In the middle is Dr Ray Seidler a local GP, who founded the Kings Cross Clinic, and was a doctor of exceptionally empathy who died too young at 61 in 2013. On the left is Ayesha, acerbic tongue, pianist, glamorous performer at Les Girls and in Hong Kong, now in her 80s and still a Diva.

Danny Abood (Daniel Archer or Miss Abood). Danny stands on the roadway outside the Piccolo Bar, uncomfortable and troubled and alone. He was unsure exactly who he was; the drag artist, the drug addict, the vintage store owner, performer, the son shunned by a religious family. Intelligent and gentle he was perhaps too sensitive for this world. What comes across so clearly was that he trusted Roz to capture something about himself that even he was unsure about. He is looking directly at the camera as if saying, ‘Who am I?’

Abe Saffron and Carlotta. It is hard to think of two quintessential Kings Cross figures. Abe Saffron (‘Mr. Sin’) ruled the Cross for decades, paying off cops and politicians, blackmailing important people, and having thugs do the dirty work for him. He owned most of the Cross real estate. A notorious name, but a shadowy, uncharismatic figure, his hero was the American gangster Bugsy Siegal. Carlotta was the trans gender star of Les Girls, one of the few nightclubs Saffron didn’t own. Carlotta’s fame outgrew the Cross and eventually her life became a television movie.

The Squat. Roz took many pictures of the people who lived in an underground car park where the imposing Elan apartment block now stands. Her sympathetic portraits of the occupants are never judgmental or condescending, but it’s this photo that is so evocative and mysterious to me. There are empty beds and mattresses, lined up as if a dormitory for ghosts. The crudely carved sandstone back wall is a bright contrast to the interior and seems as if lit by a lighting designer for a stage play waiting for the actors to arrive.

Over the last 30 years Roz Sharp has a gained a reputation for her disciplined but sympathetic mode of social documentation, much of it centred around the people events and sites of the ridge line and gullies of Darlinghurst, Kings Cross, Woolloomooloo, Potts Point.’

She has a belief in the power of documentary photography to capture both individual and regional histories, Sharp continues to work on an extended photo series of her local Kings Cross community. Images held in the National Library of Australia in 2001 later exhibited at the National Library in 2005 “In a New Light Australian photography 1930-2000”. And currently included in the exhibition “Viewfinder Photography 1970 to Now.”

The Kings Cross series was exhibited at Le Gallerie Photo Montpellier France May 2006 and during the Ruby World Cup 2007 as street banners. A later collection on the Free Masons was purchased 2013 by the National Library of Australia.

“Getting Married” she documented a series of ethnic weddings in modern NSW with the support from the NSW Migration Heritage Centre an expansion of this series was exhibited in a solo show at the Museum of Sydney 2005, a focused event of the Sydney Festival 2005.

The City of Sydney commission Sharp as artist in resident in Glebe for ART and ABOUT in 2006 to produce a series of portraits exhibited as large images along Glebe Point Rd buildings curated by Michael Goldberg.

Sharp was the driving focus behind Cross Projection, a very popular “slide shows” of major Sydney Social Documentary Photographers from the established to the emerging from 1999 to 2016.

KIRSTEN FREDERICKS FULL FRONTAL

WK 4 | 13 SHOWS IN 13 WEEKS 25

OPENING NIGHT TUES 30 SEPT 2025 6-8

ONE WEEK WED 1 TO SAT 4 OCT 2025 11-6 50 BUCKINGHAM ST SURRY HILLS\GADIGAL

Whether your focus falls on a wall of seemingly innocent crocheted phallus or a big reveal vulva you’re deep in the throes of Kirsten Fredericks’s Full Frontal.

Armed with a playful sense of perversity and mastery of a traditionally feminine craft, Fredericks loops, knots, and subverts—spinning yarn into soft, subversive icons that boldly unravel the boundaries of gender and desire.

In this exhibition, Frederick’s Full Frontal intersects with the remnants of Cupco:Flat. Week 4 of 13 shows in 13 weeks collides with Week 3 in a cacophony of colour and subversion.

Fusing kitsch, nostalgia, craft and playful perversity, Sydney-based artist Kirsten Frederick’s creates woolly delights seemingly straight out of a naughty nanny’s craft box. Her phallic creations and crocheted reinterpretations of male and female genitalia amuse and titillate, even shock with their vibrant colours, outlandish shapes and breathtaking array of sizes.

Previously a knitwear designer, Kirsten created one-off couture for Australian labels such as Cohen et Sabine, Vicious Threads, Beauty of Nature, and department store Myer. Challenged by a friend, she knitted a phallus-shaped scarf in 2007. The resulting design was extremely well received has become her signature piece.
However, as she knitted, Kirsten was deep in thought about creating a phallus that spanned three dimensions. Swapping her knitting needles for a crochet hook, the series of “knots” yielded by crochet gave the artist a more texturally stimulating palette with which to work.

Kirsten’s first solo show, Work the Ball, was in June 2008 at Blank Space Gallery, Sydney; a collection of over 30 soft sculptures. It featured, among other works, visual and linguistic gags such as a meter-long door trouser snake, and two crocheted members in the throes of a cock fight in a cage.

Since then, Kirsten continues to hone her craft, mainly through consultations with knit and crochet “elders” in the Australian community.

She is influenced by the works of international artists such as Patricia Waller (Germany), Nathan Vincent (New York) Ken Price (CA) and Jack Davis (Santa Cruz), all of whom explore or reference and humour in their artmaking.
Having developed an obsession with vintage angora yarns Kirsten scours the globe looking to acquire and collect as much skin toned and rare hand dyed yarn that can physically fit in her ‘stash’. This beautifully soft and soon to be exhausted commodity is somehow incorporated into every inch of each work.

Since starting her residency with Brand X in 2014 her connection with the Sydney art community deepened leading to the first of many curated shows – Peephole and two front windows of The Bearded Tit in Redfern.
Since ‘Growers and Showers’ at Michael Reid in February 2015 there have been numerous solo shows in Australia, Budapest and California, three group shows with Maunsell Wickes gallery, an Artist in Residence with brand X, curator with Australian Design Centre and crochet teacher and curator with Waverley Council.
On a daily basis Kirsten is constantly creating new works with the craft of crocheting to exploring contemporary sexual politics and identity.

A new show featuring exquisitely embroidered rugs! After a year that has included 5 surgeries CUPCO!? (Luke Temby) is FLAT OUT! After being cut up and sewn up that many times CUPCO is ready to pick up the needle and get back to work. Come and witness a collection of prayer mats and rugs that will put your head in the clouds, align your chakras and keep your feet solidly centred on the ground.

CUPCO is the art project and alias of Australian multimedia artist Luke Temby. Temby's work is inspired by his time in Japan and love of skateboarding.

His art practice incorporates diverse mediums such as screen printing, animation, and the infamous handmade plush dolls.

The CUPCO project began as a street art initiative in Tokyo, where Temby lived from 2000 to 2007. His art practice is still deeply indebted to Japanese anime, manga, cartoons, and other facets of Japanese pop culture.

Damien Minton has had a long association presenting Luke Temby’s art work, going back to solo exhibitions including, CUPOCO IS GOD in 2007 and featuring CUPCO at the 2008 Melbourne Art Fair.

‘Hidden. I clamber down the slope, through the bush, towards the river, finding a spot to set up my palettes. Is it a good place?

What am I seeking? The secrets of the bush can be elusive, but I am on the hunt, to catch bits of the transient mood, the essence of bush life, trees half hidden, then darkened by shadow, or moved by breeze. Suddenly the light comes, bright from shafts of sun. It permeates the angles and the heights and the shimmering water down the slope which catches its many colours. Its afternoon.

And then the softening, I wait for it, when blankets of sunset move their rich hues, beneath and above winds and light breezes. A shard of sky blue, intense, is slowly obscured by clouds, then hidden behind laceworks and lattices of branches, layer after layer, in constant motion, appearing, then disappearing. The sun throws its cloaks of pink and gold through and around the bush, sinking into the river which waits reliably to embrace its luscious sheen…

I have to be quick, to follow the day into an evening spectacle. The sun sinks and with it, the light. Curtain call. The land, bush, branches, waterways with a last glimmer, slowly hidden in darkness. And I find myself loitering, intent dispersed, still there, but moving back to the campfire, to human company.’ KATHY GOLSKI

We welcome back KATHY GOLSKI, a Sydney based artist and author.
Her first exhibition took place in 1974 at the Italo Australian Society for the Arts, Melbourne.
Since then, she has forged a career as both a landscape and portrait painter with works being held in private, corporate and government collections in Australia, the UK, USA, France and Poland.
Her portraits have been selected, for decades, in the Archibald, Salon de Refuses and Portia Geach prizes.
‘Her bush watercolours, with their areas of breathing space and subtle handling of surfaces justify her national reputation in this medium”

We welcome this extraordinary digital solo exhibition by Linda Dement.

This is the first exhibition of the Damien Minton Presents spring/summer season 13 SHOWS IN 13 WEEKS 2025.

The word Xeno is based on an ancient Greek combining form meaning foreign, strange or guest.

Each line which makes up a unifying shape in these works are text and sentences.

‘In 2019 I had access to an early language generation system, GPT2 from OpenAI. It was glitchy and wonderfully prone to error. I re-trained it on my favourite works of queer and outsider literature and we held long conversations. After 3 years of talking to my strange systems I wanted to stand back and see what these creatures might look like, see what shape they were. I wrote code to place all their text responses line by line, rotating and positioning according to aspects of the words.

The titles of the images come from the systems' answers to my many questions about what they are, what they do and what they want.’ Linda Dement has been making art since the late 1980s. Originally a photographer, her practice spans coding, images, video, augmented reality & immersive installations. She has a longstanding interest in bodies and technologies—their relations, intrusions and co- arising. Her work deals with issues of disturbance and contradiction, commingling corporeality with the digital and electronic.

Dement's work has been widely exhibited, including at the ICA London, LA County Museum of Art California, Ars Electronica Austria, Impakt Media Arts, Transmediale Berlin and a number of International Symposia of Electronic Art. Her work is held in collections such as the Bibliotèque Nationale de France; Australian Centre for the Moving Image; Cyberfeminism Index New Museum NY; ArtBank; Australian Video Art Archive; New York Filmmakers Co-op; SIGGRAPH Archive; Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art and the Daniel Langlois Foundation.

CLOSING REMARKS CRAIG JUDD Artist, Curator, author “Perfect Paradise: the art of George Schwarz and Charis” (2022) SATURDAY 30 AUGUST 2025 | 4-6PM

‘George and Charis Schwarz’ extraordinary 60 year collaboration in film and photography is slowly being recognised in the canons of Australian art and culture. Before film, before photography, before Charis, there was painting.

Painting Epoch George Schwarz 1957-65 is an exhibition of works not seen before in Australia. These paintings are assured and confident re-presentations of the surrealist aesthetics of hypnogogic automatism and the broader contexts of Tachism (trans the mark).

1957-1958 after art school in Basel and Vevey Switzerland, George thought he could make art and sell antiques. George told me much later in Sydney, there was too much shop not enough art.

His friend Hans said you look really bad you need a holiday. They drove to Spain ending up in a tiny fishing village. Almuneçar was one of 7 Pheonecian colonies on the sourthern Mediterranean coast of Iberia, Anadalucia Spain. It is where remnants of the Muslim court of Granada and citizens of the Alhambra left 700 years of culture, forced into exile by the triumphant forces of the Reconquista.

George did not go back to Switzerland.

George found a small coin with the image of a stylized hound hunting dog, a good omen. His family were game keepers, and hounds were the only things that gave love he said.

This life was meant to be.

George built a cliff side, self-sustaining studio space/villa.

He made electricity, grew grapes and carob, went hunting and traded with the gypsies. He made paintings to exhibit “back in Europe”.

Unlike the ubiquitous almost decorative modes of Abstract Expressionism of the United States, many artists in 1950’s Europe had much keener real life, real time experience of entropy, the literal dissolution of forms, and structures, the desperate vocabularies of inhabitation. What is left after War? Only marks, may be archaeology.

All “Untitled”, George believed in synaesthesia, these works are trace elements, rare earthly combinations of chthonic and geomorphic forces.

They evoke the pride, sadness and passion of duende, of Hispanidad. In Andulucia these qualities are exemplified by the cante jonde a song style described by Gabriel-Garcia Lorca as” ... the rhythm of the birds and the natural music of the black poplar and the waves; it is simple in oldness… where the ruins of history, the lyrical fragment eaten by the sand, appear live like the first morning of its life”

George Schwarz invites us to enjoy mirages, echoes of half glimpsed shadows, shimmering hydbrid structures, suggestions of human forms, dark glades armatures and gatherings.’ Craig Judd Curator, author “Perfect Paradise: the art of George Schwarz and Charis” (2022)

‘The works in this exhibition have been developed from sketches, diary notes and photography during work travel, on vacation, or in my workshop. Using these tools, detailed notes like personal postcards to myself, I can revisit these days, weeks, months, years to reconsider my own thoughts, scenes I’ve viewed, glimpses of landscapes, things I’ve heard. All recorded for practical use. Concrete evidence without having to rely on memory.

This exhibition is linked to a larger body of work started in 2018 “The Daily and Weekly” drawings that describe where I am, where I was, where I’m going, what I think.’ Russell Barker

Russell Barker began exhibiting in Sydney in the late seventies, including solo and group exhibition at Mori Gallery, then situated in Leichhardt. He was instrumental in establishing early artist run studios and the associated exhibiting spaces, consistently staging his own solo exhibitions. He has carried the ‘do it yourself’ independent ethos to this day, punctuated with participation in group exhibitions at respected commercial galleries. Russell has established a supportive audience of viewers and clients, his paintings featuring in a number of respected Sydney private collections.

Like many of his generation, Russell started to explore his young artistic urge within the well-established NSW TAFE system, achieving an art certificate at the St George Technical College, 1977-78. This network of TAFE art schools employed on a casual basis many of the now well-known and successful Australian visual artists.

“When I started art school in Sydney in 1976 my idea was to eventually do graphic design.

Then I met my art teachers, Peter Upward, Roy Jackson, Sue Archer and other artists within their orbit, including the likes of Elizabeth Cummings and John Peart. I was instantly attracted to the large, freewheeling, tactile, inventiveness and freedom in their art as well as their international contemporaries. Subsequently my original intentions were buried”.

From St George, Russell went on to complete a Diploma of Art at the City Art Institute, NSW.

He then enrolled in Fine Arts at Sydney University studying art history and contemporary theory … he ‘dropped out’ in 1987 to start his own gallery. Recently he was selected as a finalist in art prizes including the Adelaide Perry Art Prize, Gallipoli Art Prize and the Remagine Hornsby Art Prize.

Drawing on a lifetime spent working with books, Gowing has examined these artefacts as containers of language, combining personal writings as painted compositions of formally abstracted parts. By utilising visual systems to compose his written phrases, Gowing’s geometric abstraction is wholly governed by process. The resulting works expose visual rhythms and relationships of form that relate to the nature of the written word, and show us the power, depth and flexibility of language.

Through This one is a song Gowing explores written phrasing within a lyrical context. These new works contain visually discernible musical rhythms, while also dealing with personal inner dialogues and the gridded context of existing printed media. Much like a song, these elements of tradition and invention come together in harmony to produce ethereal outcomes that are tonally tangible. Works such as I will die for you my love but I will die anyway relate to both the native plant life printed on the vintage book pages, as much as the artist’s own mortality. Driven by his belief that understanding is as much about feeling as it is about clarity, Gowing’s works present unspoken feelings that allude to our human futilities, while also speaking to the content within the found media they are painted on.

Mark Gowing lives and works on Gadigal/Wangal country, Sydney, Australia. Through a practice spanning more than 35 years he has developed a personal inquiry into the poetry of form, grid and rhythm that he investigates using abstracted applications of text. Gowing’s practice centres around the conceptual understanding of languages – graphic, written, oral or cultural. In order to question our innate understandings, Gowing’s works often explore his written phrasing within a lyrical context, expressing visually discernible musical rhythms and frequencies. His work is held in numerous institutional collections including the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York, USA.

‘Birds are around me every day where I live in Grafton NSW. I enjoy watching them, drawing and then painting them.

Starting in 2018, I was commissioned to make a series of paintings for the new dementia residences at Doherty Villas in Grafton.

I created 40 paintings of the little birds found in the Clarence Valley, capturing their individual character and identity. During my final years of working outdoors where I lived in the bush, I continued to make bird paintings.

Having recently moved studios from the bush to an industrial shed in Grafton I set about using the more controlled studio environment to refine the composition and painting techniques.

The bird paintings have developed from first response, loose marks quickly made in the bush, to now being more about taking time with considered mark making, composition and colour. Spending the time on design, drawing and finally painting.’

Robert Moore 2025

Robert Moore studied art the Darling Downs Institute of Advanced Education, graduating with a major in sculpture in 1985.
Moore’s first solo exhibition ‘Leisure in the age of Harrisville’ was held in 1988 with Ray Hughes Gallery, Brisbane. It was the first of many solo and group exhibitions held with Ray Hughes. Through this association Robert started, in the late eighties, a long and productive association with the iconic Australian surf wear brand Mambo. He helped forge the unique graphic characteristics of Mambo, which are now part of Australia’s cultural identity. He went on to create a graphic alliance with Deus X Machina, which has grown into an international clothing brand.
Living in Grafton for decades, Moore has developed an independent, flexible and varied art practice, exhibiting in both commercial and public art galleries.
Collections that hold the artist’s work include the National Gallery of Australia, Queensland Art Gallery, National Gallery of Victoria, Museum of Brisbane, Gold Coast City Art Gallery, Ipswich Art Gallery, Artspace Mackay, and the Holmes a Court Collection, Perth.

Sills, dykes, diatremes and other stops along the way …

Tactile, robust and compelling, the practice and current painting of Anton James is a heady and at times vertiginous journey for a viewer to partake but it is not prescriptive, and as such, unique and very engaging.

Coming back to painting and exhibiting after a 30 year detour, James first began exhibiting when he graduated from Sydney College of the Arts In 1994. Earlier landscape architecture studies enabled him to establish a successful practice in this area, all the while training his eye and the interpretive power that this awakened. Then a PhD was forged and finished. It examined drawing and how that influences ideas and understanding, “I was interested in shedding design thinking and opening a more discursive space in which to propel my work, to investigate drawing as an intimate experience, far from some of the large-scale projects I've designed."

The dynamic suite of paintings, on exhibition at Sheffer Gallery with Damian Minton Presents, reference deep time and the lineage of history that geology proffers. Tessellated rocks, sandstone sidings, trees whose roots flow deep into the earth are all part of this Australian landscape depicted. Through this capture is a conduit to realising identity, a segue connecting the organic under the ground, the rhizomes growing their horizontal stems, and the structured above the ground. What James sees as “… points in a constellation where images, thoughts, memories and experiences breathe and coalesce in a particular form, reveal the potential of the imperfect, of decay and entropy challenging the concise order that we would wish for the world."

‘Sills, dykes, diatremes and other stops along the way …’ is a meditative place to rest. "Although referencing deep time", says James, "it also points to the disruptions and constant process of change that affects the seemingly ordered layering of time. Like memory, the chronological sequence can be upended, intruded upon, cut and reshaped by deep memories rising fragmented to the surface."

In a world finely balancing humanity, nature and a charged artificial world, James’ paintings are the calming salve. The nuances of such are tensioned in the layers of his picture plane, one flat space that shifts to another, a stylised landscape, capturing vast nuances and histories. The simplified forms and evocative blocks of colour nod to such artists as Edvard Munch, Félix Vallotton, his broad masses of paint tensioned with minimal details, and Susan Jane Walp, the way she equalizes object and background in a pictorial space.

James’ conversation is considered, his evolving practice searching out successive layers of memory, the ways odd glitches, the uncanny, can intrude on an ordered trajectory. And all the while he is attentive to the fragile balance between humanity and the natural world as he searches out a new way to speak.

IAN McMAUGH | CROSSING THE WATER | 30 APRIL TO 10 MAY 2025

DAMIEN MINTON PRESENTS

IAN McMAUGH

Crossing the Water

Ian McMaugh’s inaugural solo exhibition of iphone travel photos

OPENING NIGHT TUES 29 APRIL 2025 6-8PM 50 BUCKINGHAM ST SURRY HILLS/GADIGAL

EXHIBITION DATES WED 30 APRIL TO SAT 10 MAY 2025 WED TO SAT | 11-6

Ian was born in Bathurst in 1955 and grew up in Oberon and Duckmaloi, NSW.

Listening to his grandparent’s tales and reminiscences of the life they had left behind on the Isle- of -Tiree, Scotland in 1923, a burgeoning wanderlust led him there to Tiree during the University summer holidays of 1976.

Since then, Ian has travelled all over Australia, through Asia, parts of the USA, South America, Cuba, India, Iceland, Scandinavia, the UK, Turkey, Morocco, New Guinea and other parts of Europe.

Ian has always been a passionate amateur photographer and during his adventures in over thirty countries, he always held a camera and more recently, an iPhone, documenting his travels.

In 2018 Ian returned to Tiree, a revenant searching for closure of the mystery that shrouded his grandparents’ departure. These initial images , elegies almost, are a tribute to the island life they left behind, crossing the water from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

Ian is a well-known and respected Sydney based creative who has developed successful careers in both fashion and gardening.

His fashion career began in 1981, when he and Tom Georgiou opened Leroy Menswear on Crown St, Darlinghurst. The shop was an instant hit and many bands like Mental As Anything and INXS began to shop there for the vintage looks that became Leroy’s hallmark. After a trip to Japan in 1983, Ian’s designs took on a new direction and for several seasons he was invited to show at the Fashion Design Council parades in St Kilda. The FDC showcased the work of young, independent designers. When Stevie Hughes and Kim Bowen arrived from London, they knocked on the studio door at Lee St, Central and Ian’s new Dandy range was given six pages in Harper’s Bazaar. The label burgeoned. Editorials followed in Vogue, Follow Me, Stiletto, Mode & the SMH.

Several stores nationwide began to stock the label and eventually Ian opened his own store in the Strand Arcade.

In the late 80’s, Ian began designing womenswear. Nicole Bonython who was Fashion Editor at Follow Me and a freelance stylist, commissioned Ian to design outfits for Kylie Minogue’s early performances. The Josephine Baker inspired pearl outfit , was worn onstage and featured in fashion editorials and on an album cover. Debbie Harry came to the studio for fittings for the silver lamé trench and rubber catsuit that Ian was making for her. During this period Ian’s creations featured in group exhibitions at Rosylyn Oxley9, The Powerhouse Museum, MCA Sydney, The Victoria and Albert Museum in London and The Manchester Art Gallery.

These were heady inspired years, but by 2000, Ian’s interest in fashion waned and he began to study Horticulture at Ryde TAFE.

From 2001 he began designing gardens and divided his time between Redfern and Katoomba where he created a wild garden, incorporating endemic, exotic and Tasmanian plants.
His gardens were featured in gardening magazines and appeared on television shows, Gardening Australia and Better Homes and Gardens.

PAUL WORSTEAD | ASHTRAYLIANA | FABRICS | 12 TO 22 MARCH 2025

DAMIEN MINTON PRESENTS

PAUL WORSTEAD

ASHTRAYLIANA : GRANNY’S OLD CURTAINS

An exclusive and unique exhibition of Paul Worstead’s original designed fabrics.

OPENING TUESDAY 11 MARCH 2025 | 6 - 8PM

TWO WEEK EXHIBITION WED 12 TO SAT 22 MARCH 2025 WED TO SAT | 11 – 6 50 BUCKINGHAM ST SURRY HILLS\GADIGAL

Paul Worstead, born in 1950 in Sydney, Australia, is a highly regarded, almost legendary, artist known for his work in conceptual seventies art, visual art, silk screen posters and as a designer of t-shirts and fabrics.

This is an exclusive sale of Worstead’s designed and printed yardage from his clothing brand Jimmy Jones Souvenirs. The fabrics are from Paul’s own collection, which have been in storage since 1994. Apart from being in the collections of a number of cultural institutions, including the NGA and the Powerhouse (Sydney), this is a rare opportunity to view and obtain lengths of this unique and strictly limited fabric.

“Jimmy Jones Souvenirs was an eclectic and intensely colourful clothing range created by Paul Worstead in “the early 80’s”, according to recent Paul recall. It sold mainly out of stores in Alice Springs and in the ININTI store in the MUTITJULU community at Uluru.

The brand was named after the Reverend James ‘Jim’ Jones, an American cult leader and mass murderer with whom Paul had an academic or more likely, a typically eccentric Worstead-style interest in.

The range was created to fill what Paul perceived to be a gap in the Central Australian tourist t-shirt market, a gap that he saw existing between serious indigenous designs and the ubiquitous ‘Made In China’ tourist tees.

Jimmy Jones was launched with a small selection of single colour graphic t-shirts that quickly grew into a slightly bigger collection that included multi coloured designs as the brand’s popularity increased.

Paul would eventually add a selection of short and long sleeve shirts, and drawstring shorts to the range. The fabrics for this segment were designed by Paul and printed at Feral, a studio created by Paul and friend and fellow screen-printer, Ollie Henstridge.

Jimmy Jones Souvenirs continued until stumps were eventually pulled in the early 90’s following a decision by directors of the ININTI store to pursue a “different artistic direction”, Paul’s matter-of-fact assessment of the eventual demise of his clothing empire’. – Wayne Golding

Under the name, Ashtray, Worstead has created iconic posters for several Australian bands including Mental As Anything, (the) Sports, and Stephen Cummings.

He also spent a number of very creative years designing both fabric and placement prints for Australian surf & streetwear brand, MAMBO. He has been a visual art finalist in the AGNSW Wynne and Sulman Prizes and the Archibald Prize in 2004, with the portrait titled, ‘Me’, depicting a rabbit with folded arms and his distinctive lettering stating – ‘autism as a metaphor’.

“UNWRAPPED comprises a series of still life paintings that explore contemporary Australian domesticity. The iconic yellow of a shiny JB-Hi-Fi bag, a ripe mottled burgundy peach, the red-on-white spots of a Coles shopper, the blue zig-zag of Chux wipes and a yellow cob of corn are all instantly recognisable symbols of Australian life. These patterns and colours evoke a sense of familiarity and a quiet reminder of home.’ – LILLI STRÖMLAND

This is the third solo exhibition presented by Damien Minton of Lilli Strömland’s paintings and ceramics.

She holds a BFA in painting from the National Art School (2015) and has since gone on to be a finalist in multiple awards and prizes. These include being a finalist in the Brett Whiteley Scholarship (2020), the Portia Geach Memorial Award (2019), the Ravenswood Women’s Art Prize (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024), The Fisher's Ghost Art Award (2024) and the Salon de Refusés at S.H. Ervin Gallery (2019). Strömland was also awarded the Chroma Prize for Excellence upon graduating from the National Art School. In addition, she continues to enthusiastically participate in collaborative group shows and has work held in numerous private collections across Australia.

Henry Mulholland graduated from East Sydney Technical College, and created 14 solo exhibitions for the Ray Hughes Gallery, Sydney; Rex Irwin Art Dealer, Sydney; Heiser Gallery, Brisbane and Australian Galleries in both Sydney and Melbourne.

He has been a finalist in the Archibald Prize nine times, as well as a finalist in the Wynne Prize, the Sulman Prize, The Salon de Refuses and others. Between 2000 – 2013 Henry was a guest art reviewer on ABC Sydney 702. He continues to work, since 2007, for Sculpture by The Sea, providing talking tours to stakeholders and has been involved in judging the major prizes.

Since 2013 he has been employed as a Senior Art Specialist at the leading Australian auction house Deutscher and Hackett. Henry and his partner Helen live in Sydney, have two grown children, and spend most weekends in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney.

Throughout his professional career Henry has always retained the eye of an artist.

The opportunity to “mess around with paint again, more or less than I ever did before” came, for Henry, from the confluence of COVID lockdowns and his children reaching adulthood.

Painted between 2021 and 2023 in the backyard garden of suburban Sydney in Earlwood and a weekend home in Katoomba, Blue Mountains, this new suite of abstract paintings is the product of the artist’s observation of the trees, leaves, light and the seasonal shifts of the nature surrounding him.

HENRY MULHOLLAND PAINTING 2021 -2023 EXHIBITION ESSAY BY LUCIE REEVES-SMITH

‘As the seasons of one’s life revolve, it takes courage to return to past formative identities and pick up the threads of art lying dormant while other more pressing paths were necessarily followed. Perhaps for Henry, painting had held a wily, magnetic, pull, patiently waiting in an unrealised form for a conducive and uninterrupted period of physical engagement with the blank canvas. The eventual opportunity to “mess around with paint again, more or less than I ever did before”[1] came, for Henry, from the confluence of COVID lockdowns and his children reaching adulthood. Painted between 2020 and 2023, between the backyard gardens of suburban Sydney in Earlwood and a weekend home in Katoomba, Blue Mountains, this new suite of abstract paintings is the product of the artist’s routine meditative communion with the natural world, exploring an array of interlocking forms and elemental colours. Painted in the liminal twilight, these works capture the quiet, drawn-out hours of dappled, golden-hour radiance and encroaching shadows in their repeated patterns.

Anchored by two large horizontal works, Fading Light I and II, the sequence of square works within this exhibition was created in one, long and continuous process - letting each picture dictate its own timeline of creation, each following on from the next in an interconnected chain. The individual brushstrokes are placed with aplomb, forming lozenges of pure colour that float on the surface or recede into the substrate, accumulating into tightly woven patterns. Working on several paintings at once, all of these canvases were painted in the same manner, brushstrokes repeated in one direction, layered in progressively lightening hues (to be seen in the growing darkness), before being spun around, and the process repeated in a different orientation. The artist describes the culmination of a painting as a “surprise”, brought on by an urgent, watershed moment where all hues and gestures come together with the touch of a brush and a final spin of the canvas. The resulting works are finished when their dense atmospheric layers coalesce to “satisfy whatever the urge to create the thing was in the first place”. Like the sand encrusted in Monet’s paintings of the beach at Trouville revealing the immediacy of his outdoor painting process, small jacaranda leaves are preserved in the layers of oil paint in many of these works.

In the manner of Australia’s pioneers of abstract painting, the artist has chosen (with the exception of the two largest works), to leave these paintings untitled. The viewer is free to engage with each painting on a formal level and to make whatever subject figurative associations might arise. Woven together into a tartan, the rotational symmetry and uniform consistency of the finished works are organic and unintentional. Although, like Jasper Johns’ ‘Map Paintings’ of the early 1960s, these gestural colour tapestries are “non-abstract forms of abstraction”. The irregular and indistinct diamond shapes within the warp and weft of Henry’s brushmarks and his leaps in colour palette bear resemblances with shadows of leaves and shafts of sunlight. They are the captured and stilled versions of the video works, Light on a Painting. “There seems to be a law that whatever visual propositions nature presents there is an underlying order [...] random arrangements [...] this is something that guides me as the painting guides the brush”.’ LUCIE REEVES-SMITH

Sulman Prize AGNSW 2023 finalist, Oscar Sulich, returns with a full suite of eclectic new paintings.

Oscar conjures a visual language which is without evident hierarchy. Beautiful and obsessed, haunted by our precarious age. Unspecified narratives and urban landscapes flicker before our eyes, the past ambushes the future.

His capacity with paint on canvas alludes to an absence, or the opposite of something actual. A collection of single faces are examined by his gaze like a slide projector - Antonio, Nico, Kenneth, Laura, Bob, Andy, Cher, Chloe, Brodie and himself, Oscar.

Since graduating from the National Art School, Sydney, Oscar Sulich has participated in a number of solo and group shows at inner city Sydney and Melbourne exhibition spaces.

Oscar is also a musician and has released a number of original compositions under the name Boba Lego.

OSCAR SULICH | TWINS AN ESSAY BY ANGUS McGRATH | NOV 2024

A twin is defined almost paradoxically: the twin is a twin by its closeness and correlation with its other, but is also differentiated by its own minor differences, small iterations that demarcate it as separate. A perfect copy can’t exist: even by its being in a different space to its double makes it other. There can be no true duplicate, no two distinct things occupying the exact same space at the exact same time. In Oscar Sulich’s new show “Twins”, images have the same uncanny quality as the similar-yet-different doubles described above, ghosts that linger in a space after their original form have moved on.

The most blatant pair in this exhibition is the Twin Towers, which themselves appear in three different paintings (to my eyes at least). They are a repeated, historically-significant image presented straightforwardly but made phantasmic by their mere existence: images of something no longer there. In a show full of portraits, the Twin Tower works are the only images that don’t have people in them, though that doesn’t matter: Oscar treats these behemoths steel structures as portraiture subjects. This isn’t some kind of “Sex and The City”-style “New York is the fifth girl!”, but rather the opposite: all exteriors, be they flesh or metal or landscape, are treated with the same hazed-out distance. This is clearest to me in Oscar’s painting of underground film icon Kenneth Anger, rendered against a city skyline as if he were a gigantic being, his golden skin and reptile eyes exuding the same glow as the lights in the skyscrapers.

Oscar conjures things the same through paint, regardless of their alignment to architecture or nature, celebrity or the everyday, all made twins by the fact that they are simply exteriors. A cosmic force radiates mysteriously from hidden interiors, whether they be a rainbow aura emanating from Chloë Sevigny or frantic scratches scrawled over a city skyline, but they are all hidden behind the stark facade we see on canvas. While Oscar has painted many a celebrity throughout his practice, he instead now seems fully committed to recording ‘iconicness’ (and by that, I mean in a way more aligned to ancient Greek than casual contemporary parlance). Instead of following the expectations of portraiture which try to catch an essence and likeness of a person and welcome us into their inner lives, Oscar is fixated by an attempt to capture the image, endlessly reproducible, of undifferentiated people/things/subjects/surfaces. Andy Warhol, appropriately, is one of the ghosts who haunts this show.

When I was lucky enough to write about Oscar’s show with Damien Minton two years ago — “Plastic Dissolving on a Human Shaped Sunset” — I was struck by the way he depicted people and places melting into one another. Comparatively, I see a harshness in “Twins”, the psychedelic phasing between humans-places-things-images is gone. All the spaces in the works which make up “Twins” are compressed because they aren’t even pretending to replicate spaces. They’re paint remaking images, which are also images, announcing themselves as twins of their originals.

Most of these subjects are created with paint in stark relief, though there’s a wrongness to many of the human forms, blatantly in instances such as the Godzilla-like Kenneth Anger, but more often in a ghostliness that fails to adhere to the space around it: “Forest on Fire” (2024) sees a spectral running figure that appears to be white-hot flaming out of existence; “Green Man” (2024) sees an ectoplasmic body in alien-abduction fluros, contrasting the crazy-drippy-spermy splash surrounding it; “William Blake sunset” (2024) sees the poet neutered and levitating over a Miami-esque swamp; “Moonlit Beach” (2024) sees a silhouette so unspecifically realised that it might as well be a tear in the canvas; the “Two Old Ladies Walking” (2024) stroll a sea of yellow with only a small strip of blue above them to provide relief.

In Oscar’s painting of his friend “Brodie” (2024), everything except a colour swatch is covered in small red dots, an effect somewhere between Ben-day dots from 1960s comic books and pixels from a digital image (similarly used here also in a painting of iconic German singer Nico, one of two paintings of Nico in the show). In “Brodie II” (2024), a strikingly similar painting of the same subject appears in a much truer-to-life style. But can’t you see it? This isn’t a more accurate/realistic/naturalistic rendition of Brodie, but just “Brodie” rendered to a higher resolution. It’s all the same flat paint on a flat surface.

In the strangeness of these newly-forged twins — people and buildings, celebrities and friends, things and their doubles, images and images and images and images — there’s a collapse of time. Of course, because how can something be in two places at once? Oscar has long been fascinated by nostalgic imagery from a time before his own birth: 60s and 70s rockstars, these celebrities’ playful interest in mysticism and the occult, VHS warp, neon sunsets. When I asked Oscar about the prevalence of screens in “Twins”, particularly emphasising older screens like TVs rather than newer ones like smartphones, he said that he is referencing “our ever changing relationship with screens, and the nostalgic vision of an old world that doesn’t exist anymore. We can experience old memories like films playing in our minds eye.”

This wistful quote from the artist is so apt, because even in all the spiraling questions and attempts at decoding the work, finding patterns — “why is there a painting of Laura Dern’s ghost if she’s still alive?!” — Oscar works instinctually and without any pretension. This stripping back of his work has been an attempt to move out of his comfort zone, and this stark approach to painting is exciting to see take flight. As an artist in his mid-20s, it’s only natural for Oscar to be drawn to the screen as it’s surrounded him his entire life. When the Twin Towers went down in 2001, Oscar could probably walk, maybe even talk, but the image that startled the Western world would simply register to him as a series of coloured pixels on a television screen. “Twins” has a painting of what I’m sure is the radical musician and artist Genesis P-Orridge, framed by a Toshiba television. This frame is so significant that Oscar titles the painting not after P-Orridge but the TV set itself.

The sun is my mouth is an installation that is meant to feel like sitting in a very tall tree amongst a good patch of sky where shooting stars, butterflies, rainbow ribbons, bubbles and trees are all reaching up towards the sun, alongside you. The sky is so big and I have never been able to see all of it, yet am always, always trying to. For now, this room contains an imaginary sky that could grow forever and ever.

LILY GOLIGHTLY

*hidden inside the sky (installation) are ancient fairy maps discovered by golightly and restored for the show, the artist has not yet uncovered their hidden meanings as they were written in unusual symbols that she has not yet been able to decipher.

Lily Golightly is an artist working on Gadigal Land. She works between painting, textiles, sculpture and video art. In each artwork she tries to create a soft and warm place for images from dreams, memory, the natural and fantastical worlds to come together.

‘This exhibition is a collection of tiny tributes to the objects I share my days with. Some real, some imagined, some living, some inanimate. Most are ordinary. Many of them float across colourscapes. I find the more I get out of the way of painting the more surprising the result. The colours arrive somewhere. But I can never just leave it at that. I need a punchline. I'm compelled to dictate an image over an improvisation. Sometimes the image wins, sometimes it barely survives. It resolves itself. Amicably. I walk away. Smiling. “

If one is bought up in a regional city or town you learn to gauge time and distance on motorways by stopping or passing through twin service stations.

Twin Service Stations is an apt title for this new suite of work by Newcastle raised artist Ben Soedradjit. Whilst passing by one ‘servo’, you are aware there is an identical one on the other side. Hovering between the ephemeral and the enduring, Ben explores the visual language of sport, especially professional motorcycle and car racing.

“I employ a small hand-cut viewfinder to examine and reframe compositions from discarded sporting publications and historical images. These materials, often overshadowed by the relentless flow of digital imagery, become a rich source for my work. By focusing on these neglected artifacts, I aim to capture their essence and bring their forgotten narratives into the foreground. Arranging these compositions into structured grids—both portrait and landscape—I explore the tension between order and chaos, the intentional and the accidental.”

By using this method in his art practice, Ben investigates the colour, text, and the abstracted forms of sporting imagery, which creates the interplay between the built environment and natural landscapes. Human interactions within these spaces then shape and are shaped by cultural and commercial forces.

We are pleased to present this one week show to coincide with the group exhibition, Hyphenated, currently on at the Manly Art Gallery and Museum.

Ben Soedradjit’s work at Manly is displayed alongside Deanna Hitti, Emma Rani Hodges, Kirtika Kain, Pamela Leung, Jason Phu, Samuel Tupou, Jason Wing, and William Yang.

The works presented in Hyphenated expand on an appreciation of the immigrant experience, hybrid identities, and the Australian embrace of global diasporas.

Born in Sydney\Gadigal in 1985, Ben studied art in Newcastle and Sydney. For the last two years in a row, he has been a finalist in the Dobell Drawing Prize.

Finalist in both the Churchie National Emerging Art Prize, Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane and the Fisher’s Ghost Art Award, Campbelltown Arts Centre, Sydney, Ben is represented in numerous public collections in the USA, Britain and Europe as well as private collections in Australia.

“This series is inspired by Japanese sento, or public bathhouses. During my time living in Japan, visiting sento became a regular part of my routine. As I travelled across the country, I became fascinated with the unique charm of each bathhouse. I especially loved the murals, often featuring Mount Fuji, cranes, or even mermaids. While each sento had its own distinct character, they all shared familiar features: the exterior with a welcoming sign, rows of bike racks and a vending machine, the noren (cloth curtain) at the entrance, lockers, and rows of plastic washing buckets and shampoo bottles.

I was particularly drawn to the tiles, the mirrors, and the quiet, steamy atmosphere. I often found myself thinking, one day, I will make a series of collages based on this experience. Using layered acetate painting and collage, I aimed to capture the soft, dreamlike quality of the sento. These were the largest acetate collages I have created and working on such a scale while keeping the pieces loose and gestural was a challenge, but a rewarding one. My goal was to evoke a sense of nostalgia, warmth, and a touch of playfulness, much like the bathhouses themselves.” GENEVIEVE HARNETT

A collection of sewn painted paper - bucket hats, shirts and tote bags by Sue Hall and Robert Moore.

selvedge (noun) - an edge that is made on a piece of cloth, which stops the threads from coming apart

In 2021 Sue Hall and Robert Moore created their first Selvedge collection.

The collection used handmade fabrics by artist Robert Moore. The fabric was sourced from Robert’s collection of unique pieces produced during the previous 10 years. Robert is a respected Australian artist who has contributed many well-known designs to Mambo and Deus Ex Machina.

Sue Hall, using her vast expertise with the Janome and knowledge of all thing’s couture and soft furnishings, responded to the plethora of boxes of fabric that turned up on her doorstep during the covid year of 2021 by making shirts, hats, totes, covering vintage couches and soft furnishings.

That initial body of collaborative work resulted in an exhibition, ‘Selvedge’, shown at the Shalldesign, Hobart studio/space in 2022.

In 2023 Sue and Bob were at it again. They used the same first response techniques but this time substituting the fabrics with Bob’s painted paper.

The result is a collection of sewn painted paper shirts, bucket hats, tote bags and clutch purses. Both Sue and Bob are excited to present this new ‘Selvedge’ sewn painted paper collection of 80 plus pieces!

Sue, who resides in (Nipaluna Country), Hobart TAS and Robert (Bundjalung Country), Grafton NSW are finalists with a collaborative work in this year’s Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award 2O24, at the Grafton Regional Gallery, 28 September – 8 December 2024.

WENDY MURRAY | WHO HAS THE POWER? | ONE WEEK ONLY

OPENING TUES NIGHT 8 OCT 2024 | 6-8

WED 9 -1 2 OCT 2020 | 11 TO 6

We welcome back, straight from L.A, artist/print maker Wendy Murray.

Wendy Murray is a visual artist who works in Los Angeles and Sydney. Her work addresses social and political issues through drawings, poster making and public art works.

Infamously once known in Sydney as Mini Graff, Murray was as an urban street poster artist between 2003-2017. Her artworks are informed by her knowledge of street art and her interest in psycho-geography and the concept of ‘the derive’, or unplanned journey.

“I’ve made stencils and posters for the street since 2003, and for years, these works have reflected my thoughts and ideas about the environment we live in – the changing city streets, pollution, architecture, politics and people. People are a crucial part of my practice. I work with artists, community groups, and young people – taking the seed of an idea and transforming it into a poster. A poster that communicates a powerful message using my drawing and printmaking skills but still retains the essence of their voice.”

In this exhibition Wendy will be featuring new and archival work, including new stencil screenprints on paper, a suite of her daily drawings and lithographs.

We also welcome the launch on the same night, Tuesday 8 October 2024 of the book Wendy has collaborated on and illustrated – Volume 2 of Sydney We Need to Talk!

This second volume of Sydney - We Need to Talk! is a production of the ‘Urban Crew’ who have been meeting together every week in the Madsen Building at the University of Sydney, to talk about cities. The ‘Crew’ includes academic staff, postgraduate and undergraduate students and occasionally interested others from a range of academic disciplines.

In 2018, the Urban Crew made its first book. Sydney - We Need to Talk!, which is titled after a Wendy Murray poster of the same name. That title captured the state of our relationships with the city in which we live and work. Some members of Urban Crew have spent all or most of their lives in Sydney. Others, more recent arrivals. Yet all have come to care about it … and to worry about it. “We need to talk” simultaneously evokes the need for a ‘state of the relationship’ conversation with Sydney but also from Sydney. A desire to generate a collective conversation with fellow Sydney-siders about the fate of our city and other cities too. “Collective therapy for despondent urbanists”, is the call!

The self-described ‘punk poofy cat’, Toby Zoates, who played a prominent role in the creative underground squat scene in Sydney, presents a new suite of artworks plus a selection of epic historic posters he has ‘enhanced’ into unique states of splendour.

‘The Naked Eye: Seeing is Believing equals art that attempts to communicate the hard facts of existence for all the dispossessed and destroyed in the world. It’s communication without the mediation of authoritarian propaganda that manufactures consent to the oppression. It’s political pop art, realist/surrealist, with an anti-vacuous aesthetic, both critiquing and celebrating the society I live in.’ TOBY ZOATES 2024

Born in Melbourne, Toby Zoates grew up in a Housing Commission Estate where art was far from his working-class parents’ ken. To earn a living he became a registered nurse, specializing in palliative care. In 1969, at the age of 19, he apprenticed himself to Master artist “Lattimer” of Adelaide, preparing his art materials and nursing him till his death in India in 1974. There TZ continued his studies in yoga, music, art and philosophy at the Sivananda Jungle University, Rishikesh.

After five years on the road, he crash-landed in Sydney in 1977 at the Darlinghurst Squats and, finding the city vibrant and full of light, decided to launch his art from there. In 1978 he realized he needed an Aussie house-hold anti-brand name and thus reinvented himself as Toby Zoates.

‘Another year passes and I have continued watching over the ocean. Tankers still line the horizon, waiting their turn to deliver or take away. Over time, I have researched more on naval exploration with the idea of healthier travel options for our environment and to further delve into the realities of the tankers that grow in numbers as the years go by. So, I navigate my thoughts as I paint the realities of my local Illawarra seascape. I navigate the coarser marks my brushes make on the linen, the abstract moments between fence lines that cut in to the image. I navigate the love/hate relationship I have with human structures juxtaposed within the organic environment. They make great contrasts to paint, even as I experience them as interlopers in our natural environment.

The naval theme continues in the studio. My aqua vessel carries flowers from my garden with a soft sky blue for background and a striped foreground: an old shirt I found amongst my rags. A subconscious selection which I only realise later resembles the striped shirts once worn by the French Navy - for emergency situations and better sightings in case a person falls overboard.

Brightly coloured navigational buoys catch my interest, setting courses for ships to follow, as I paint in Port Kembla. The emergency yellow of the buoys cuts into what would be a vast blue of the sea filling the canvas or a cylinder of green floating within a soft blue void within the inner Port. I make clay objects to resemble the buoys for my still lifes. First, they are shiny and bright and hold flowers to allow for juxtaposition of organic and human structure. Underneath, an aqua blue representing the sea and a deep blue in the background to complement the orange of the marigold. More clay-made buoys develop yet they become faded like the bleached shells lining the beach. The vessel holding the living flowers navigates through the buoys and the deep yellow of the nasturtiums and calendula sits boldly against the deep blue background. These colours soon reveal themselves to be the colours of a navigational flag signalling - ‘I wish to communicate’. ZUZA ZOCHOWSKI

JOHN MORRIS | UNDER HEAVENS | 7 TO 17 AUGUST 2024

DAMIEN MINTON PRESENTS

JOHN MORRIS | UNDER HEAVENS

An exhibition of two parts. The premiere of a suite of new work plus a selection from John’s stock room.

OPENING TUESDAY NIGHT 6 AUGUST 2024 | 6-8PM

WED 7 TO SAT 17 AUGUST 2024 | WED TO SAT 11 - 6 TWO WEEKS

VENUE: 50 BUCKINGHAM ST 50 Buckingham Street, Surry Hills

Born in Newcastle NSW, John Morris attended art school from the age of seventeen. Morris spent years in New York and London, working as a landscape garden designer. The great European and North American fine arts collections always beckoned.

Returning to Australia, Morris devoted over twenty years teaching painting and drawing at the Newcastle Art School, TAFE, for which there is an army of appreciative alumni students.

Morris has held twenty solo exhibitions and his paintings have been included in numerous public survey exhibitions, such as ‘New Romantics’ at Gippsland Regional Art Gallery (2011) and ‘Painters and Perception’ at the Newcastle Art Gallery (2010).

Morris’s work has regularly been short-listed for local and national awards, most recently winning The Norvill Art Prize (2013) and the Newcastle Club Foundation Art Prize (2018).

He is represented in public collections including The Newcastle Art Gallery, Macquarie Bank, Maitland Regional Art Gallery, Lake Macquarie City Art Gallery. His work has been acquired by countless private collections in Australia, New Zealand, the USA and the UK.

"I have always wandered. If I can take an indirect route I will. When travelling I like to get lost. That way I can come across the unexpected. Wandering is accompanied by wondering. Travelling always brings questions, some personal, some about where I am as the landscape unfolds. I often stop to take a closer look.

To consider the relationship between the prevailing rock structures, the soil and what grows from it. It is best not to be in any hurry or have a destination deadline.

I am happy to witness atmospheric events, to let them sweep over me. To see how the climate and vegetation changes as elevation increases. To see what use the land has been put to. Where the water runs to, where sediment is deposited. What grows where. I usually do this by myself. The resulting paintings are reflective images. Singularly witnessed not viewed. I always feel as though I am a part of the landscape, not apart from it.

I have been preoccupied with painting landscape for most of my adult life. The paintings are rarely about place, most often they are a means to convey an emotion or mood. The narrative comes from within the viewer. The paintings are often minimal in nature, bringing about a sense of contemplation and reflection, maybe even a spirituality.

People who know my work send me images taken on their phones of landscapes they are travelling through labelling them “a John Morris landscape”.

Often the images have a dominance of the heavens in their composition." JOHN MORRIS

‘This exhibition reveals some of what and how I think about things.

The works are a series of simple propositions, some more serious and provocative, many amusing.

The style is oppositional- brightly bleak with lurid flat colours and strange patterns similar to old linoleum- a cheap floor covering of the 1940s-1960’s- or skins of animals like us.

The paintings teeter on the borders of the ugly and unspeakably lush and god damn sexy.

I would like to think the work has a “push me- pull you” barely contained frenzy wrought by layering of colour and repeated marks. I enjoy the primal.

At my last exhibition a friend who has seen me making in the studio remarked my paintings have quality much like etching where I never deviate from the original outline drawings. There is a ritualistic element in that process of building colour and surface.

In this linear invocation I hope you can also experience playful reflections about the games of love and seduction, the terrains of celebrity and the constant negotiation of the intersections of public and private.

I have an archaeological and historical bent. In the past I have made paintings to suggest faded and worn inscriptions, or contemporary re working of ancient myths. There are encounters with the carnival and metamorphosis.

Here I present a quasi-academic taxonomy of artefacts, personified grave goods from a distant perhaps “lesser” or “unformed” culture. However as in all good dreams and fairy tales these are high status objects for grand occasions, a banquet table perhaps. While bespoke they are definitely the products of some sort of mass manufacture processes and some unifying vision or structure. A number of the motifs and shapes derive from memories of what the special cabinet in the good room contained or the doodles Joy Judd (my mother) made while she was talking on the fixed landline telephone. Seemingly simple outlines.

So, this exhibition is my current line on the thralls and joys of histories, socio-psycho sexual formations and the notion we actually thrive amongst the swirling eddies and sands of aesthetic relativism. For your consideration the earliest human drawing is a zig zag pattern cut into a fresh water mussel shell from Java dated circa 450,000 years BCE (before the common era). Some scientists think the marks were made by the manner of opening the shells with the tools available. Almost irrefutable though, are grid of six by three red ochre lines drawn onto a silcrete wedge of sandstone 73,000 years ago. Maybe part of a now lost larger scheme of symbols it’s kind of spooky that the hashtag is that old.’

MOOK (AKA MARK) SIMPSON

PRETTY UNSETTLING

OPENING TUESDAY NIGHT

25 JUNE 2024 | 6 - 8

WED 26 JUNE TO SAT 6 JULY 2024

A TWO WEEK EXHIBITION

NEW VENUE: 50 BUCKINGHAM ST

50 Buckingham Street, Surry Hills

OPEN WED TO SAT | 11 – 6

We invite you to view a suite of work by Sydney (Gadigal) based artist Mook (aka Mark) Simpson at a new gallery space in Sydney, 50 Buckingham St. The gallery situated in Surry Hills near Central Station, provides much needed exhibiting space for independent artists.

This suite of work extends and develops Mook’s practice of taking well known iconic Australian impressionist paintings and tripping up their traditional readings by inserting humorous images of creatures and characters. These meticulously crafted interventions merge and blend into familiar scenes creating contemporary, pretty unsettling, narratives.

Mook’s monsters capture surreal versions of Australia’s greatest anxieties: invasive species, poisonous creatures, dress codes and unchecked male aggression. The intersection of these fantastical creatures with famous and familiar work invites viewers to appreciate the fluidity of our memories, especially when they encounter the original work again. Simpson’s work sits well with contemporary thinking critiquing colonial national myth making.

“My paintings aim to reimagine history and challenge our perceptions of both "how things used to be" and "how things are." The late 19th-century Heidelberg School era is known for its strong nationalistic sentiment and romanticised view of the Australian bush and way of life.”

Two centrepiece works in the exhibition, Pretty Unsettling, are large vinyl canvas paintings sourced from construction hoardings in the streets of Sydney.

After returning with his family to live back in Sydney, Simpson was called on and completed a large mural in Los Angeles' Skid Row.

Back again in Sydney he noticed building site developments often featured 'historic imagery' on their hoardings, which felt strangely empty to him. The need to fill a void - and bring some of his studio practice to the streets - he began nocturnal ‘en-plein-air’ painting. This led to a run-in with the law, arrest and a court appearance. Mook apologised and explained the positive intention of the interventions to the sitting magistrate … and got the charges dismissed. Subsequently Simpson forged friendly relationships with the City of Sydney Council and several building sites, retrieving an original piece and receiving new images on which to work.

Like his paintings, these humorous mural interventions take aim at something more critical. In this case the city's recent past and its ongoing violent transformation through development.

The exhibition, Pretty Unsettling, also contains small sculptures of Simpson’s creatures, which work as companions to the paintings.

Simpson spent 20 years as a creative director in Sydney's animation scene and an additional five in Los Angeles working on virtual reality projects. Returning to Sydney in 2020, Simpson redirected his creative energy towards painting. He has exhibited in numerous group exhibitions and was a finalist in both the Adelaide Parklands Art Prize, 2023 and Maritime Art Prize, Mission to Seafarers, Melbourne, 2023.

Mook acknowledges the traditional Indigenous custodians of the land on which all this business is happening. He also extends his gratitude to the magistrate who advised him to 'get permission next time' which he is definitely doing. Additionally, he pays humble respect to the original artists whose work he is painting over.

GERRY’S SECOND-HAND FRIDGE SHOP
301 CLEVELAND STREET REDFERN (between Walker and Elizabeth St)

To celebrate the end of the year we asked artists we have worked with (or bumped into) to submit an image of an artwork which we then reproduced as a limited-edition fridge magnet.

Mercilessly appropriating the idea of decorating ‘white goods’ from the King of Merch, Tim Ferguson (Doug Anthony Allstars), this is a celebration of democratising the visual arts and reminding us of the terrifyingly powerful beauty of art as we reach, yet again, to open the fridge door.

The majority of the art magnets are in a postcard size, whilst a few are bigger, bolder, and more demanding of your fridge door space.

These six artists, along with five other finalists, were selected from 181 entries by guest artist judge Guido Maestri, a mid-career contemporary artist and Archibald Prize winner.
The suite of work, on show for the first time, fleshes out the winning painting on display at the Brett Whiteley Studio, AGNSW at Surry Hills Sydney.

Oliver H Scherer, a multimedia artist and painter, who primarily works in oil on canvas, was born in Sydney, Australia and currently practicing from his studio on Wangal land. He graduated from the National Art School, Sydney in 2021.

“Borrowing from history, mysticism and semiotics, I play with ambiguity, intimacy and the beauty in the un-idealistic. I aim to challenge the viewer and societal norms, prompting them to confront their own voyeuristic tendencies. The works become a mirror; reflecting desires, experience, secrets. They blur the line between the public or private, observer or the observed.”

AMNESIAC VOID

SUNDAY 26 NOVEMBER 2023

583 ELIZABETH STRET REDFERN

AMNESIA - n. total or partial loss of memory following physical injury, disease, drugs, or psychological trauma.

We welcome emerging artist Finnegan McGrath with a suite of new work created using the software tool, Procreate. The artist paints and draws with a digital ‘brush’ as well as smudge and erase with fingers. The ‘brush’ option includes a wide capacity from drawing, calligraphy and airbrushing pens. Other features include charcoal, spray paint, luminance and water textures.

‘Procreate allows me to experiment with colours, textures, and forms, enabling me to convey the unclear and often surreal nature of amnesia.

‘I am exploring the topic of amnesia, the thoughts that live deep within the corridors of the human mind. Within these drawings I am navigating the complexity of thought, emotions and experiences that define an amnesiac's journey. The artworks are a visual representation of the fragments of memory, where recollections and perceptions blend and realities mix with dreams.’

Finnegan collaborated with Alec Green and Finbar Watson on “Teacups” which won the 2023 Sydney Film Festival award for best animation. Last year he worked as cameraman and storyboard artist on Bay of Fires for the ABC.
He graduated from the National Art School, Sydney in 2021. He has been in numerous group exhibitions including Harvey Galleries in 2022. Whilst still a school student, 2015, Finnegan won the junior section of the Waverley Art Prize, Sydney.

‘Whilst we are in the full swing of spring, my new solo exhibition, ‘Home Harvest’ celebrates the fruitful bounty to be gained from the winter months spent within our homes.
Supposedly a dormant season, winter however is a time of quiet flourishing, nesting and preparing.
I retreated into my home, curled up on the couch under woolen blankets, held hot lemon and honey drinks in hand to sooth the seasonal colds, observing grandma’s cut crystal twinkling on the mantle.
Triggered by cold spells the orchids bloomed as we guzzled on great spoonsful of pumpkin soup. These small moments are the gems of winter.

In ‘Home Harvest’, ceramic frames have been paired with paintings. The frames on the smaller works are slim additions, adding strips of colour and a contrasting texture. The shiny ceramic glazes suggest the twinkle of the cut crystal subjects. Larger frames are made up of small arches, which reflect the looping rhythmical patterns seen in the cut crystal. They are also reminiscent of the scalloped edge of a tablecloth, or trim of a lace doily. The ceramic frames refer to the long history of ceramics within the domestic space.

Home Harvest celebrates the shining gems that come with the cold.’

Lilli Stromland is a painter and ceramicist, living and working upon Gadigal land, Sydney. Her often psychologically-charged, observational oil paintings explore the subject of material nostalgia, comfort and home. Sensuous and tactile, they transpose the Dutch still-life tradition into the contemporary context of Australian suburbia. Lilli graduated from the National Art School, Sydney in 2015 with a major in painting. Since that time she has been in a number of awards and prizes, including being a finalist in the Brett Whiteley Scholarship (2020), the Portia Geach Memorial Award (2019), the Ravenswood Women’s Art Prize (2021, 2022, 2023) and the Salon de Refusés at S.H. Ervin Gallery (2019). In addition, she has participated in multiple solo and group shows and has work held in numerous private collections across Australia.

We asked ChatGPT to discuss the latest suite of work by Mark Hetherington:

Within this suite of paintings, I employ skyscrapers as both a visual anchor and a metaphorical catalyst. These iconic structures, symbols of human ambition and modernity, become the backdrop against which the ordinary and the extraordinary collide. By juxtaposing them with unusual still life arrangements, I aim to create a visual dialogue that blurs the boundaries between the urban and the domestic, the mundane and the fantastical. Links are made to my time living in cities and now somewhat removed from them.
Colour, in particular, plays a pivotal role in these works. The vibrant palette I employ reflects the kaleidoscope of emotions and energies inherent in urban environments. Bold and unexpected combinations create a sense of heightened reality, inviting viewers to engage with the artworks on an emotional level. Through colour, I strive to evoke the bustling energy of the metropolis while infusing it with a sense of mystery and whimsy.
Each composition within "Still Life with Skyscrapers" tells a story, woven through the careful arrangement of objects and architectural elements. These narratives emerge from the interplay of light and shadow, as well as the juxtaposition of disparate elements. The unexpected placement of everyday objects alongside towering skyscrapers engenders a sense of surrealism and prompts viewers to question their own perceptions of space, time, and meaning.
By embracing the notion of the still life genre and reimagining it within the context of imagined urban landscapes, "Still Life with Skyscrapers" offers a unique lens through which to explore the complexities of modern existence. Through these paintings, I invite viewers to contemplate the interplay between the man-made and the natural, the tangible and the ephemeral, ultimately inviting them to find their own narratives amidst the vibrant chaos of the modern world.

“This body of work is a continuation of the concept of a personal atlas. A standard atlas is made up of place names, maps, and dates. A personal atlas is more of the thoughts and feelings, and people, and tastes and smells, that give places and dates importance and context.
This work was made with gratitude for all those who have helped, encouraged, and inspired me. The title is for my friend Tim Hamzah who will remain an eternal source of inspiration and light.”

Australian musician Jodi Phillis, co-frontwoman of The Clouds, has turned her hand to watercolour painting with a new body of work celebrating the shabby and faded, drab and out-dated interior decorating styles of suburban Australia.

“I started drawing as a child. It was my first love, until music took over during my teen years. I would draw with coloured pencils creating detailed scenes. However, holding the pencil in my hand tightly to create bright colours and shading became uncomfortable. I knew that one day, when the time was right I would take up painting.
During the first covid lockdown a friend pulled out some watercolours. I connected with the medium immediately and basically haven’t stopped painting for three years.

There is something about the cool, gentle flow of the paint on the brush that has become addictive to me. Painting has helped me through some tough times. It calms my nervous system and is way better than any drug I know of to stay relaxed and happy.

I love the challenge of capturing the way light lands on objects through windows….and I also love the aesthetic of old things. I love to celebrate the style choices of ordinary Australians.
Kooky wallpaper, carpet, tiles, light fittings…all of these details capture my heart because they are disappearing. I guess these paintings are nostalgic, but for me it’s more than that. I have always loved antiques and old buildings because I can feel the energy of human emotions in them. I try to capture that energy in the paintings.

Some of the paintings are scenes from my own home or the homes of loved ones but many are paintings from photos I took while visiting open houses pretending to be an interested buyer, mainly in the Illawarra NSW and also in regional Victoria. I drove eight hours to view a house in Nathalia Victoria!
Older, un-renovated homes are becoming hard to find, so in a way this collection is a bit of an Aussie culture catalogue"

Life interests, environment and coincidences shape my subject matter as I paint from life, observation or ‘en plein air’.
As tankers and cargo ships line my local Wollongong ocean view, I ponder about my upcoming travel to Europe.

After looking in to an artist residency in Europe that encourages artists to travel in the most environmentally friendly manner, I research possibilities of making my way across the seas by ship and so furthered my fascination of the tankers. Huge steel constructions coated with bold colours cutting the horizon line. They slowly move as the wind changes direction and as they wait their turn to bring or take things away. As it turns out, waiting would mean super slow travel to Europe by cargo ship so I leave the travels by sea as a romantic idea. Instead, I paint the views from hilltops overlooking the vast shapes of blue, greys and purples that almost engulf the ships, miniaturised by the ocean. The space is framed by the organic shapes of shrubbery lining the edge of the land and allow for scratchy paint marks in my intimate translations. The sea and the sky are either vast with soft patches of colour to express the still and bright or crowded with stormy, quickly marked clouds and textured deep seas.

This dialogue with nature is felt when I am inside the studio. I have an interest in bringing the outside in or delicately expressing my environmental surroundings in my still life paintings. A backdrop of linen off-cut permits for a neutral background and a blue/ black material for my garden flowers in a vessel to sit on. These coloured material backdrops are perhaps indicators of the sea and sky. Inspired by artists painting floral still lifes with a window view, soon the linen backdrop is replaced by the blue material. I then find a piece of timber in the shape of a ship amongst wood scraps on the floor of the studio and white felt is cut into rounded shapes These new additions find their way into the still lifes to combine my domestic surroundings with memories of the hill top ocean views.

Travelling solo to Europe, I brought watercolours and paper as an immediate medium to work on. Quick paintings were created every day from window views of the surrounding buildings in my original birthplace in Poland as the ‘Spring’ weather still had a frosty bite. The weather warmed as I headed south to Italy to reside in Tuscany for the next three and a half weeks. Here I needed to establish a new connection with my surroundings. I looked to Morandi and his landscapes as a guide to enable a new colour palette and focus on organic and built shapes within the unfamiliar Italian landscape.

Working ‘en plein air’ allows for an immediacy with your surroundings. The paintings are an emotive and physical response to the textures of life around you. This can include seeing, sensing or learning something new in your surroundings and dealing with wind, heat or, in my case in Italy, three weeks of rain. So, one adapts and finds a carport or ancient oak tree for protection. Breaks in the rain allowed for quick walks to pick field flowers and the thick walls of the Italian homes provided the best window sills for still life paintings. ZUZA ZOCHOWSKI

This exhibition, ‘I am young once myself’, consists of exclusively accessed, rare, prime quality posters and prints from Paul Worstead’s own archival collection.

Wayne Golding, has curated this collection of artworks (over 80 on display) which testifies to the description of Worstead as ‘the prince of prints’.

Paul Worstead, (b. 1950), is a conceptual artist, poster maker, t-shirt and fabric designer. He formed a long and creative association with Mental As Anything while both he and the band members were at art school. He has designed posters and album covers for several well-known Australian bands including the Mentals, Magnetics, Sports, Stephen Cummings plus designs for the independent record label Phantom Records.

He was an instrumental participant in the culturally significant movement of screen print artists that coalesced around the Tin Sheds, Sydney University during the seventies and eighties.

‘In 1971 Paul launched his first clothing label, Ashtray. This was followed by an esoteric surf and streetwear brand, Jimmy Jones Souvenirs. In 1985 he arrived at the surf wear company MAMBO where he contributed artwork until 2006 when finally deciding that he’d “had enough”. In 2005 his painting, ME (Autism As A Metaphor) was selected as a finalist in the Archibald Prize.

Contrary to what you might think at first glance, Worstead’s art is neither superficial nor is it disposable although he will argue otherwise, as he did over the past couple of months while I was attempting to pull an exhibition out of his several bulging poster drawers. Any attempt to compliment the “gobsmacking awesomeness” of his set of Christmas Festival posters for example, was met with an unnecessarily harsh, “F… off!”

Paul’s art is democratic, and in roughly equal measure, humorous, irreverent, ironic, poetic, politically charged, and intellectually satisfying, if you can establish a nexus between an autistic rabbit and a turd that’s been left in a burning paper bag on a doorstep just prior to the home owner’s doorbell being rung (choose one of the aforementioned adjectives for that one).’

Since retiring from the art game, Paul can nowadays be found at his rural address improving upon nature with a chainsaw and a ride-on mower.’ WAYNE GOLDING

‘For the exhibition ‘Power Poses’ I have created a series of figure studies completed during my weekly life drawing class. The use of collage has forced me to make rapid decisions, resulting in often playful outcomes.

The collages are made by assembling cut-up paint palettes and paper that I collect day by day, including handmade paper I found in a paper shop in Kurashiki (Japan) and student work that I rescue from the recycling bin.

I am intrigued by the unexpected relationships that arise between observing a stance and its visual
translation on paper. I explore the connection between the intention behind a pose and its subsequent representation in my artwork. Rather than relying on traditional pencil or mark making techniques, I attempt to make sense of the human form by cutting and shifting layers of colour.’ GENEVIEVE HARNETT

Pen Tests is an abstract drawing project that explores subconscious mark-making, doodling, and intuitive processes. The work draws inspiration from the strokes and marks left by customers who test markers, pens, and pencils on paper in stationary stores.

The Pen Tests series consists of artworks secretly made with sample pens from office and art supply stores.
The artist did not buy any pens for this project.

Garry Trinh is an artist working in photography, video, painting and works on paper. He makes art about the uncanny, unexpected and spontaneous moments in daily life. He is inspired by his surroundings and from the vast visual output of mass culture. His works are about a way of looking at the world, to reveal magic in the mundane.

TIM FERGUSON
"Ferguson's nervous line almost breaks down in these latest offerings. His “All the Mild Horses" displays a semi-deliberate post-representational reaction to capitalist objectification.
If you close one eye the mild horse takes on a curious one-dimensional nature, if you close both eyes, you get the full effect of the artist's talents.
The viewer is left with the question, is it paper? Is it canvas? Is it art?" - Terence Malooneybin

PAUL LIVINGSTON
"The mind can be trained to relieve itself on paper."
Billy Collins

"Whenever I open a book of poems, I tend to flip through looking for the small ones. Just as I might have trust in an abstract expressionist painter if I knew he or she could draw a credible chicken, I trust poets who can go short."

The former US Poet Laureate Billy Collins has a way with very few words. His "uncommonly accessible verse" reminds me of the economic mark-making of my favourite visual artists. Collins advises poets to, "Make a mess. Cross out words or entire lines, scribble in notes, and mark it up however you feel. Try not to be tidy."

I find if I insert the word "marks" in place of "words" in quotes from Billy you might get my drifting. He believes a poem succeeds when, “The words are happy to be in each other’s company”.

"I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,
or walk inside the poem’s room
and feel the walls for a light switch."

Collins poems are famously short, informed by Haiku, or echoing flash-fiction writers like Lydia Davis and others.

“The small poem is a flash, a gesture, a gambit without the game that follows. There’s no room for landscape here, or easeful reflection, but there is the opportunity for humour and poignancy.”

My offerings here are a loose attempt to mark my words.

Lily Golightly is an artist working on Gadigal Land. She works between painting, textiles, sculpture and video art. In each artwork she tries to create a soft and warm place for images from dreams, memory, the natural and fantastical worlds to come together. In her new body of work for Nightshades with Luciana Smith she is inspired by ritual, magic powers and friendship.

Luciana Smith is a painter who draws inspiration from dreams, found imagery, popular culture and the internet to create fictional spaces that exist between reality, imagination and the subconscious. Through her artworks, she seeks out absurdity by exploring the tension between the surreal and the everyday.

Dream Fatigue
Exhibition text by Tristan Chant

Dreams reserve a special place in our consciousness. It is a prolific experience of the human condition and the only other like it is that we all retain memories. The two share a certain characteristic, in that the further we get from an experience, or waking moment, the more blurred, layered and complex our recall of them is.

In Scott Owen’s Dream Fatigue the artist plays with positive and negative spaces as a way to inform this experience. Using flowers as a pictorial anchor for the exhibition Owen deconstructs the classic still life composition through distortion of colour and form, using layers of wash behind bold hyper-colour brush strokes.

The paintings speak to Owen’s own recall, memories of childhood which now seem dreamlike, of playing with his father’s military uniforms and camouflage netting. Scott’s father served in the Royal Australian Air Force during a period the where the service used the Disruptive Pattern Camouflage Uniform (DPCU) on fatigues, and either consciously or subconsciously this motif is recalled throughout. The patterning of forms sitting on top and behind the surface creating moments of clarity and slippage, an open-endedness, like trying to recall a long-forgotten memory, or waking from a dream.

Scott Owen (b. Darwin 1988) is a Sydney based artist who investigates the bittersweet, joy in melancholy, and earnest reflection through observational painting. He completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting at the National Art School Sydney in 2015, and was
selected as a finalist in the York Botanic Art Prize 2020 and the Eutick Memorial Still life Award in 2019. As of 2020 he has also been teaching painting classes one day a week at the North Sydney Community Centre.

“Leave the land of ambition-less excuses, where the perfect is the enemy of the good, where near enough is good enough.
Leave!
Take heed of the Siren songs that draw us to the frontiers.
Here formulae collapse.
Here the intersectional, curious blends, intriguing juxtapositions, improbable alliances are possible, real, desirable even curative.”

MAGNOLIA MINTON SPARKE

A UNIQUE STATE SELECTION | PHOTOGRAPHS

583 ELIZABETH STREET | REDFERN

Before travelling to Europe this year, 2023, Magnolia Minton Sparke has prepared a suite of photographs that have been printed in a traditional 10 x 8” format.
Each of the 20 photographs are individually produced as a framed unique state, one off, image.

‘This series of images is a look into my body of work as a photographer so far.
Some pictures were taken when I was 15, some a few months ago.
In the ten years since I have started taking photographs, the camera has been my companion in making friends, building a community and an identity for myself.
Each image is personal, an extension of who I am, and an attempt to portray emotions and moments that otherwise are difficult to explain through words.

The message of this show is a simple one - here are the subjects, landscapes, colours, shapes and tones I am intrigued by and have had the pleasure of collaborating with.’

Magnolia Minton Sparke, 23 years old, is photographer living and working in Gadigal/Sydney.
She completed a Bachelor of Design in Photography at the University of Technology Sydney in 2020, where she received the Vice Chancellor’s Merit Scholarship.
She staged a solo exhibition in 2020, ‘Go Gently’ at The Corner Shop Windows, a street window gallery in Newtown, Sydney which features emerging photographers.
Since then, Magnolia has contributed to multiple group exhibitions with her peers.
She currently works as a casting assistant and photographic assistant and is planning to travel to Europe this May, 2023, to expand her practice.

‘The Fishing track paintings are about the experience of traversing though Australian coastal bush and then arriving at the open space of waterways, beaches and rivers.
The ‘reveal’ of our coastal landscape provides us with an ever-present sense of surprise and delight.
This year, 2023, in a new studio, with its concrete floor and walls, has enabled me to pursue the hard edge, geometric marks I have worked with for the past few years.
It’s been a joy to have the time and space to let these marks and paintings evolve.
Fishing track was made on Gumbaynggirr and features land and seascapes from Bundjalung and Yaegal country.’ ROBERT MOORE

Robert Moore studied art the Darling Downs Institute of Advanced Education, graduating with a major in sculpture in 1985.
Moore’s first solo exhibition ‘Leisure in the age of Harrisville’ was held in 1988 with Ray Hughes Gallery, Brisbane. It was the first of many solo and group exhibitions held with Ray Hughes. Through this association Robert started, in the late eighties, a long and productive association with the iconic Australian surf wear brand Mambo. He helped forge the unique graphic characteristics of Mambo, which are now part of Australia’s cultural identity. He went on to create a graphic alliance with Deus X Machina, which has grown into an international clothing brand.
Living in Grafton for decades, Moore has developed an independent, flexible and varied art practice, exhibiting in both commercial and public art galleries.
Collections that hold the artist’s work include the National Gallery of Australia, Queensland Art Gallery, National Gallery of Victoria, Museum of Brisbane, Gold Coast City Art Gallery, Ipswich Art Gallery, Artspace Mackay, and the Holmes a Court Collection, Perth.

OFF THE HOOK: ASSEMBLAGES

‘I’m a collector of ‘things’. In my art practise I work mostly with readymade, mass produced, domestic or industrial bits and pieces. These could be vintage hair accessories, bra inserts, vegetable packaging nets, bicycle inner tubes, shoelaces or 2-dollar shop finds. While I like to be open ended about the materials I use, it is rubber, plastic, foam, silicon, latex and natural gut used for sausage casing which are the ‘stuff’ of which I’m particularly attracted to.

OFF THE HOOK: ASEMBLAGES began by chance, as is often the case with my art making. After realising I’d squirrelled away for no rhyme or reason a quantity of coat hangers, I hungered to collect even more. The Great Coat Hanger Hunt was on! Now, after making forty-five pieces for this exhibition I truly can’t say that I have finished with coat hangers!

From the beginning of this series, I was aware of the strong crafting practise these coat hangers presented. As the first two and largest Hanger Pieces came about, I couldn’t help but think of the women and perhaps a man or two, who had made the coverings. Many of the hangers I use have a strong sense of place and in particular, Australia.

The last decade and more so through Covid, has seen a resurgence of handicrafts and whilst making this series of work I also reflected on the new ‘craftivism’ (the path to achieve social change in the world through creativity) taking place.

In my art making practice, I very rarely know at the start what form a work will become. There can be several versions over a period, changed slightly or completely, before I can say it is now complete. My process of creating sculptural forms involves play, grouping and placing. Sometimes the work maybe pulled to pieces to be reused and reconfigured. Through all these actions the objects assembled can have their original purpose lost or obscured to become something else. I typically work in series or multiples. Touch can be important to many of my works as well. My work is for interior spaces – positioned on the wall, shelves, floor, or ceiling.

I’ve made OFF THE HOOK: ASEMBLAGES without an explicit message, except that I do deeply wish for you to enjoy these pieces.’ ELIZABETH TREWEEKE

The Messenger
New Photographs by Roslyn (Roz)Sharp.
Over the last 30 years Roslyn Sharp has gained a reputation for her disciplined but sympathetic mode of social documentation. Much of it centred around portraits, events and sites of the ridge line and gullies of Darlinghurst, Kings Cross, Woolloomooloo, Potts Point.

The Messenger reveals exciting new facets of the visual style of Sharp. There is a playful approach to the genres that have fuelled this new work. In landscapes and domestic interiors, in portraits of humans and animals and in still-life’s, Sharp juxtaposes works of differing scale and breathtaking colour with the rigour of black and white.

Messengers bring messages. While Roz Sharp remains forever the so called ‘Mayor of Kellett Street’, the images in The Messenger takes audiences out of the clamour of inner city Sydney into a braided narrative that features the traces of charged locations across the continent, hints of rituals, public and private and the mysteries of destruction, loss and healing. There is humour also but most importantly there is beauty.

These images were mostly made on her iPhone since 2022.

Sharp has a belief in the power of social documentary photography to capture both individual and regional histories, Sharp has continued to work on her extended photo series of her local Kings Cross community.

A series of Sharp’s images from two separate bodies of work, Kings Cross Portraits and The Freemasons are held in the collection of the National Library of Australia, Canberra.

These works has been exhibited as part of major exhibitions: In a New Light Australian Photography 1930-2000 (2005); and currently Viewfinder Photography 1970 to Now (2022- 2023).

Kings Cross Portraits (with captions by Louis Nowra) were exhibited at Le Gallerie Photo, Montpellier, France in 2006; and again in 2007 as street banners during the Rugby World Cup.

In Getting Married, Sharp documented a series of ethnic weddings in modern NSW with the support from the NSW Migration Heritage Centre. In 2005 an expansion of this series was exhibited at the Museum of Sydney and later that same year featured as a focused event at the Sydney Festival.

In 2006, The City of Sydney commissioned Sharp as artist in residence for Art & About, to produce a series of portraits of people from the Glebe community. Curated by Michael Goldberg, they were exhibited as large printed images hung on Glebe Point Road buildings.

Between 1999 and 2016 Sharp was the driving force behind Cross Projections, a grassroots popular slideshow event held annually at the Australian Institute of Architects in Kings Cross. These events featured the work of established and emerging social documentary photographers.

Whether you focus your eyes on a wall of seemingly innocent labia rats or a well hung, soft crochet phallus you’ll experience what is known as Kirsten Fredericks's The Mischief.
Armed with a playful sense of perversity and the knowledge of a traditional feminine craft, Fredericks twists and knots the crochet rat and phallus that transcends and moves beyond the politics of female and male genitalia.

“You crochet WHAT?!” - Joe Public

Fusing kitsch, nostalgia, craft and playful perversity, Sydney-based artist Kirsten Frederick’s creates woolly delights seemingly straight out of a naughty nanny’s craft box. Her phallic creations and crocheted reinterpretations of male and female genitalia amuse and titillate, even shock with their vibrant colours, outlandish shapes and breathtaking array of sizes.

Previously a knitwear designer, Kirsten created one-off couture for Australian labels such as Cohen et Sabine, Vicious Threads, Beauty of Nature, and department store Myer. Challenged by a friend, she knitted a phallus-shaped scarf in 2007. The resulting design was extremely well received has become her signature piece.
However, as she knitted, Kirsten was deep in thought about creating a phallus that spanned three dimensions. Swapping her knitting needles for a crochet hook, the series of “knots” yielded by crochet gave the artist a more texturally stimulating palette with which to work. Kirsten’s first solo show, Work the Ball, was in June 2008 at Blank Space Gallery, Sydney; a collection of over 30 soft sculptures. It featured, among other works, visual and linguistic gags such as a meter-long door trouser snake, and two crocheted members in the throes of a cock fight in a cage.

Since then, Kirsten continues to hone her craft, mainly through consultations with knit and crochet “elders” in the Australian community. She is influenced by the works of international artists such as Patricia Waller (Germany), Nathan Vincent (New York) Ken Price (CA) and Jack Davis (Santa Cruz), all of whom explore or reference and humour in their artmaking.
Having developed an obsession with vintage angora yarns Kirsten scours the globe looking to acquire and collect as much skin toned and rare hand dyed yarn that can physically fit in her ‘stash’. This beautifully soft and soon to be exhausted commodity is somehow incorporated into every inch of each work.
Since starting her residency with Brand X in 2014 her connection with the Sydney art community deepened leading to the first of many curated shows – Peephole and two front windows of The Bearded Tit in Redfern.
Since ‘Growers and Showers’ at Michael Reid in February 2015 there have been numerous solo shows in Australia, Budapest and California, three group shows with Maunsell Wickes gallery, an Artist in Residence with brand X, curator with Australian Design Centre and crochet teacher and curator with Waverley Council.
On a daily basis Kirsten is constantly creating new works with the craft of crocheting to exploring contemporary sexual politics and identity.

OSCAR SULICH | PLASTIC DISSOLVING ON A HUMAN SHAPED SUNSET

You are invited to the opening on
TUES 13 DEC 2022
6-8PM

Damien Minton Presents at
38 BOTANY ROAD | ALEXANDRIA
(before Henderson Road)

TWO WEEKS
WED 14 TO SAT 24 DEC 2022
WED TO SAT | 11 TO 6

Following his sell out exhibition last year, Oscar Sulich returns to Damien Minton Presents with a fresh solo show.

‘A reason (among others) why Oscar asked me to write this essay was because earlier this year I loaned him a book, resplendent with stills from Kenneth Anger films. Anger, although still alive, is best known for his experimental, occult films of the 1960s and early 1970s, placing ritualistic imagery alongside 1950s pop songs. I’d commissioned Oscar to paint an image from the Anger book to project as a set/backdrop for a performance inspired by the Anger’s mysticism as a way of trying to understand the perpetual state of doom we all feel, hurtling towards inevitable climate-based death. It’s fortuitous then that Oscar is invested in many of the same ideas for this show, Plastic Dissolving on a Human-Shaped Sunset.
Anger had great friendships and collaborations with rock ’n’ roll icons like The Rolling Stones (Anger apparently inspired their hit ‘Sympathy for the Devil’), Jimmy Page, and Marianne Faithful. In parallel, Oscar has always had a fascination with 60s and 70s rock and adjacent cultures, like the burgeoning early punk scene, and Kings Cross as Australia’s parallel to New York, both run-down and radical city sites. There are specific examples of Oscar’s fascination in this show too, such as a photograph from a vintage Playboy magazine found on the street, several faces from Anger’s films, and the repeated occurrence of the singer Nico. This isn’t to say though that Oscar is painting a halcyon desire for decades he missed. He’s very much engaged with the present and the personal, documenting his friends, his own holiday photos, pop culture figures like Kris Jenner (mother of the Kardashian sisters), and fragments of Farsi text translated by an Iranian friend.
While making the paintings for this show, Oscar listened to a lot of vaporwave — a short-lived micro-genre of Internet music from the early 2010s which saw producers slowing 1980s pop music down to meandering tempos, inducing a synthetic corporate calm. Inspired by vaporwave’s retooling of past pop hits into muzak, Oscar sees it reflecting the state of the world: that the future is too scary to forge new cultural forms. People just want to be lulled safely in nostalgia. He pointed to a specific song, the kind of anthem of vaporwave: Macintosh Plus’ 2011 ‘リサフランク420 / 現代のコンピュ’, a track built entirely from a slowed sample of Diana Ross’ ‘It’s Your Move’. Oscar’s inspiration by vaporwave’s meta-critical nostalgia continues to fold out: Macintosh Plus’ song is over a decade old yet its reference points are unchanging. On a macro level, there’s the Tik Tok trend of “slowed and reverbed” songs (seriously, search on YouTube for any song slowed and reverbed and it very probably exists), and in specific examples there’s Dua Lipa’s current disco fever and The Weeknd’s devotion to superstar producer of the 1980s Giorgio Moroder.
Our denial of a future is a denial of our present, leaving us with only the knick-knacks of the past: plastic souvenir-images of people long gone. With the complexity of history collapsed into costume, Oscar paints people like places. A naked model melts into background mannequins which themselves melt into space, a demon is at one with a water fountain, a bust of Kris Jenner is gigantic amongst the LA skyline. Everything dissolves to a plastic state, all surface and no flesh.
When locations are distinct in Oscar’s paintings, they’re almost always urban yet retain a trace of nature — skies, waters, suns and moons. Treated in the same manner, nature merges into the urban, the cityscape becoming a kind of post-apocalyptic nature, or even a post-nature. Writing on Anger’s Lucifer Rising, Anna Powell describes its opening sequence of volcanic eruption: “Fire joins with sea, land and sky in an elemental conjunction to prepare for Lucifer’s rise.” In Oscar’s paintings too, space and elements collapse in the heralding of doom.
When I meet Oscar for a coffee to talk about the show, his kindness and excitement at the potentials of art can’t help but shine through, even when describing an exhibition inspired by climate anxiety and dread. He tells me that he doesn’t necessarily plan his paintings, but tries to feel through them. I believe that’s how they display such earnestness and unity regardless of their expansive scale, shifting plains and perspectives and media.
Looking at the painting of Kris Jenner rendered above the cityscape of LA, married to it in a sameness of surface, I think about a description of Kenneth Anger’s films as “the truths of trapped light.” Another favourite painting in the show features the dandelion-shaped fountain in Kings Cross, Oscar telling me it’s inspired by a Farsi saying his friend shared; “The Garden of Heaven is Now”. He says this means that there’s no heaven or hell, but we’re living in a mixture of both, right now. It might be unstable, and it might be psychedelically disorienting sometimes, but Oscar has found the present. GUS MCGRATH

COLLAGES

‘This body of work (collages) was made during the 4th and 5th lockdowns of 2021, in response to our world once again shrinking. I relocated to Melbourne a few weeks before the 1st lockdown.

I decided to revisit and reinterpret earlier large paintings of mine via the medium of collage. This suited my small studio and was a new technique for me to explore. The colour and tones in the original paintings were matched and recreated in watercolour, then brushed onto 180gms Arches paper.

Once dry, I’d lay the tracing of the original painting over this coloured paper, draw in the shape and cut it out using a scalpel. Intricate, delicate, slow and meditative, this process suited the mindset required to see out the final lockdown.

DIGITAL DRAWINGS

I started painting with an iPad after I saw an interview with David Hockney about a little program called Brushes that he started to use. It is a wonderfully simple and direct program that gives you a way of drawing and painting with your finger gliding across the mirror surface of your phone and/or iPad. It was as close to using a pencil or a brush - a bit like a lovely forgiving crayon. It was the perfect tool to complement my daily drawing practice and to use as a plein-air painting tool.

I could now work quickly at night, in bad weather, while staying at someone else’s house, on wild weather days, or sitting in my car. All without having to set up my easel and oils. Sometimes these works are preliminary studies for larger oil paintings and sometimes they can work as colour notations and sometimes they’re simply done for the thrill of the chase.

My practice is a lot about the pleasure of looking at things - and using an iPad has expanded the opportunities to respond to what I notice.’ Penelope Metcalf 2022

We welcome this solo exhibition by Sydney based artist Sidney Teodoruk, who, since 2016, has successfully exhibited in London, Seoul, Melbourne and Sydney. A graduate of the National Art School, Teodoruk’s show, Feed Your Head, explores new iconic imagery whilst retaining the style and palette of his previous work.

‘Using every visual device at his disposal, he weaves strange narratives drenched in dichotomous imagery and text, then obscures large areas in swathes of block-colour, inviting the viewer to fill in the blanks.
Teodoruk uses the language of juxtaposition to explore the way he perceives both the world and himself.’ Marissa Bagley

We welcome Lilli Stromland (born 1994) to her first Sydney solo show. Lilli graduated from the National Art School, Sydney with a major in painting. Since that time, she has been a finalist in a number of awards and prizes including a 2020 finalist in the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship. Her work has been selected in the Salon de Refuses, Portia Geach Memorial Award and the emerging artist section of the Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize.

‘As the quintessential wool blanket of Australia, the Onkaparinga is a familiar presence in our homes. These boldly colourful blankets hold a nostalgic quality, embracing us in warmth and familiarity. In these works, they are a representation of home in Australia.

Onkaparingas have been paired with orchids, which are included as a symbol of the individual/self. The temperamental nature of orchids and their need for consistent upkeep is somewhat like our own need for self-care. When we carry out acts of self-care, they often occur within the home. Here we feed, clean and rest our minds and bodies, preparing to take on the randomness of life.

Onkaparingas and Orchids: home and self-care. Let these paintings be a reminder to nurture yourself and your sources of sanctuary.’ Lilli Stromland

‘An indulgence of paint and colour, this exhibition brings together still-lifes and ceramics to explore the subject of material nostalgia, comfort and home. The works transpose the Dutch still-life tradition into the contemporary context of Australian suburbia. Posing like sitters for portraits, store-bought orchids are set against the historical backdrop of the Onkaparinga blanket – a mainstay in Australian homes since the mid-19th century. Symbolically-charged, the toppling plants are a reminder of the consistent need for self-care, tenderness and comfort. Bold and colourful, these paintings, like their fabric, envelop the viewer in the exact sense of warmth and familiarity that their fragile sitters necessitate.

Coupling milled wool with the newness of fleshy leaves and translucent crinkles of cellophane, the works are a sensuous exploration of material contrasts. Generous daubs of oil paint evoke the five senses: floral freshness and grandma’s musk, the touch of warm versus cold, and the vibrant hum of contrasting colours. An extension of this immersive experience, accompanying ceramic works explore the tumble of paint, plant and pattern in novel iterations that reinvent the viewer-sitter relationship of still-live. Within these effervescent vignettes is the sheer pleasure of looking and feeling, and the invitation to nurture ourselves.’

GREG & SLADE | INTO THE CLOUDTREE FOREST

DAMIEN MINTON PRESENTS

Greg & Slade
Into the Cloudtree Forest
New collaborative paintings & sculpture

38 BOTANY ROAD | ALEXANDRIA

( next to the Alexandria Laundrette just before Henderson Raod)

YOU ARE INVITED TO THE OPENING ON

TUES NIGHT | 25 OCTOBER 2022 | 6-8

OPEN 26 OCT TO 5 NOV 2022 | WED TO SAT | 11 TO 6

Artists Greg & Slade have collaborated on a series of paintings and sculptures that depict a vivid world of their imaginations. Inspired by nature and the lush sub-tropical rainforest where they live on Dunghutti land on the mid North Coast of NSW, and with a love of fantasy and science fiction, Greg & Slade have merged their complementary styles to create an atmospheric world of unearthly flora. These works feature the lyrical geometry and playfulness of Slade Smith’s graphic drawing style with the colourful and modernist abstract composition of Greg Clarke’s paintings.

The Cloudtree Forest is located within the Uncanny Cape. The Uncanny Cape has always been uncanny, a place where reality shifts. The Cloudtree Forest is at the heart of the Cape where the natural order has been allowed to develop into a kaleidoscope of fantastical plants. Greg & Slade have created these works as a visual diary of their geographic dream journey to search for the wondrous Cloudtrees. The Cloudtrees have the incredible ability to rotate. As they slowly turn, the passing clouds are mysteriously absorbed onto the trees trunk, where they remain imprinted forever.

Along their journey, Greg & Slade discover a strange and colourful world of geometry along the Cape’s beaches, creeks and lagoons. Into the Cloudtree Forest reveals an upended version of the real world, with abstract gum trees, cartoonish cumulus clouds, melting palms and enticing mushrooms.

’This is a series of houses and their surrounding gardens in Tasmania, mainly on Bruny Island. I became interested in capturing these houses because I was intrigued by the way in which they appeared slightly forgotten.
Their rugged beauty struck me.
I loved the way the façades had faded in the sun and the gardens had become unkempt and unruly through years of neglect. There is something marvellous about only vaguely controlling things and letting nature take its course. Wild grass bursting through cracks in paths, hedges climbing haphazardly up a wall, a perfect little magenta wildflower popping up in a gnarly yellow flower bed. All this perched beside a once pristine periwinkle coloured cottage that had grown a few shades lighter and rough around the edges.
This series aims to capture the wonder in allowing things to be as they are and celebrating the beauty to be found in that.’ GENEVIEVE HARNETT

‘A friend of mine came to my studio and asked to see more artworks with vessels. Vessels? I never came across that word being used to describe the vases I use for my still life paintings. True, they are vessels that hold water for the flowers from my garden long enough for me to create a painted image of them. It was a new element to focus on and to paint. The vessels I chose to paint were all created by someone. Either handmade gifts from family, special handblown glass from friends overseas or a memento from quick trips between lockdowns.
The challenge now was to paint, not only the flowers that managed to grow through recent turbulent weather, but the vessels themselves. A frosty blue glass jug, milky until the water held in it reveals the stems of the flowers or a Phthalo green glass shaped by triangles creating distorted puzzles of stems and reflected light.
The word vessel, I have previously only associated with ships, for example, the massive cargo ships or tankers that line the horizon of the Illawarra coast near to me. The mass amount of blue that hold these boats and separates me from good friends and family overseas must have crept into my subconscious. I began collecting blue scraps of paper from my plan drawers and offcuts of fabrics from my sewing cabinet. These blue materials became the surroundings of the vessels on my studio table. The fabric was inattentively placed over towers of books or whatever I could find in the studio, making mountains of folds and creases. The blue mass created a colour field allowing for me to form with my paintbrush the negative shapes of the flowers. Yet the materials are not the only background of the painting, there are spaces that reveal ambiguous shapes of colour that suggest different components of the studio behind the mountain of blue. Blue for calm and peace in my studio during a time of mixed emotions.
Lockdowns also allowed me to be attentive to my local area. I painted the dwellings around me. Quick interpretations of solid shapes amongst the organic. Scratches of colour to for an understanding of shadows or movement. Usually just enjoying the juxtaposed elements of buildings amongst environment, as I painted from life what was in view, passers-by revealed the personal component of the structure. ‘Kevin lived in that house all his life’ or ‘we had goats’ on the land which is now encroached by a mass of the corporate green of the local Bunnings hardware building.
Changes being made to the local environment compelled me into action. A self-portrait after protesting, spells out the word STOP outlined in bright blue. The blue of our water and limitless sky, which the local coal mines are threatening. A time for change. Blue mixed with yellow makes green, add a little more blue into the green and you get the colour Teal.’ ZUZA ZOCHOWSKI

CECILIA HEFFER REIMAGINING (P)LACE
Ephemeral Lacescapes

ONE WEEK ONLY
WED 17 TO SAT 20 AUGUST 2022

SHEFFER GALLERY | 38 LANDER STREET | DARLINGTON

Reimagining (P)lace is a suite of paper ‘lacescapes’ that contemplate the transience and impermanence of our times. In these works stitching becomes a form of drawing, exploring subtle configurations of space and place that seek location amidst a world in an increasing state of flux.

As nuanced meditations, they explore (p)lace marking in new ways by giving agency to materials that go unnoticed in our daily lives. Discarded shredded administration paper of disrupted text, numbers and colour-coded excel spreadsheets have been painstakingly stitched into a new narrative. These ephemeral works took inspiration from Invisible Cities by writer Italo Calvino whose citizens wove threads of different colours between valleys and mountains. Once the threads were too dense to pass through, they were abandoned, leaving a scaffolding of suspended lace as a gentle reminder of our collective impermanence and fragility.

This exhibition celebrates the completion of a PhD by Cecilia Heffer from the School of Fashion & Textiles at RMIT. The research presents a final installation, Stitches in the Air, a collaboration with animation artist Damian Gascoigne together with a suite of new works that emerged through this process. This study contributes to new relationships between contemporary textile practice and place as it transforms how we understand, experience, and learn through making.

Cecilia is currently a Senior Lecturer in textiles at UTS; her research encompasses over thirty-five years of practice, teaching and exhibitions underpinned by a Masters from Central Saint Martins and extensive industry experience working in print studios in London, New York and Sydney. Her work is collected in national and international museums and libraries, including MAAS (Powerhouse Museum) Sydney, NGV Melbourne, Tamworth and Wangaratta Regional Galleries, The State Library of NSW and Victoria and the Museum of Textiles Lódz, Poland.

The work was created in Sydney on Gadigal Land, we pay our respect to elders past, present and emerging, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for these lands.

BREATHING AGAIN
KATHY GOLSKI
NEW LANDSCAPE WATERCOLOURS

WED 3 TO SAT 13 AUGUST 2022
OPENING TUESDAY 2 AUGUST 2022 | 6 – 8PM
SHEFFER GALLERY | 38 LANDER STREET | DARLINGTON

As the seemingly never-ending weather events seep into our daily lives, dampening our moods, Kathy Golski offers a breath of hope with a new suite of landscapes, observed and imbued with a strong sense of the regenerative healing power of the Australian bush.

‘When I paint a landscape, which could appear on the surface to be static, I am enticing into my subject its essential vitality, movement of light, sky, shadows, flight of birds, wind, a choreographed dance calling in all of these elements….”

KATHY GOLSKI is a Sydney based artist and author.
Her first exhibition took place in 1974 at the Italo Australian Society for the Arts, Melbourne.
Since then, she has forged a career as both a landscape and portrait painter with works being held in private, corporate and government collections in Australia, the UK, USA, France and Poland.

Her portraits have been selected, for decades, in the Archibald, Salon de Refuses and Portia Geach prizes.

‘Kathy Golski does not impose artistic demands on the scenes she seeks to paint.
She does not intend to bend the landscape to her will.
Instead, Kathy moves in synchronicity with the breezes that lift the bough of a tree or ripple a dam’s watery surface.
The fluidity of her brushstrokes on hand-made papers reflects a generous and benevolent frame of mind.
Perhaps because of the open and warm spirit of the artist, her landscapes are secret moments on time which most of us are blind to see.”
PRUE GIBSON 2009

‘Her bush watercolours, with their areas of breathing space and subtle handling of surfaces justify her national reputation in this medium”

CRAIG JUDD | THE SNAKE’S HIPS

WED TO SAT | 11 TO 6

SHEFFER GALLERY

38 LANDER STREET | DARLINGTON

The Snake’s Hips is an intriguing chapter in Craig Judd’s explorations into the paradoxes of human communication. The paintings and objects in this exhibition talk to and drill through high and low culture forms. They are simultaneously hilariously provocative, deeply vexatious and tragically sentimental meditations that emerge from the artists’ antiquarian and ficto-poetic obsessions. The works explode with references- anything from the constructions taste style and celebrity to early 20th century argot, “the crisis in aged care”, contemporary psycho-babble and recent anthropological debates. Armed with wit we meet seduction, wise counsel, echoes, requests and instruction. “The Snakes Hip’s” is an excursion into in a specific micro climate, a teeming, brightly bleak 2022 suburban archaeology.

TWITCHER | A group exhibition about birds

DAMIEN MINTON PRESENTS
A group exhibition about birds

TWITCHER
ONE WEEK ONLY
SHEFFER GALLERY

38 LANDER STREET | DARLINGTON
11 – 14 MAY 2022

You are invited to the opening on

TUESDAY 10 MAY 2022 | 6-8PM

There is a big difference between a bird watcher and a twitcher. The twitcher’s main aim is to sight rare birds.

Well, this group exhibition is more about our bird watching during the pandemic … but twitcher is such a great word …. right?

Since the pandemic all of us have observed and appreciated the regular sights and sounds of birds in our neighbourhoods and parks.

This ‘anthropause’, the abrupt slowdown of human movement, allowed us to see our fellow animals behave with less interference. Along with the shut down and slow down we appreciated the sunrises, the sunsets, the return of nature.

Birds in particular enjoyed the reprise from human intensity and shifted closer to our urban areas.

It’s no coincidence the album of bird songs, ‘Songs of Disappearance’ made it to NO. 3 on the ARIA charts.
We are so rich with the variety and character of the native birds in this country and its traumatic that more and more are becoming extinct on our watch.

So, let’s be vigilant and celebrate the observation and therefore importance of birds, especially the native ones, in our lives.

A group exhibition showcasing how contemporary street level resistance is the delicious feral arena of political dissent. Political posters (either physical of virtual) are still one of the few forms of expression immune to the narrow tube of news flow controlled by the Rupert’s and Lachlan’s of this world. With one of the most pivotal Federal elections upon us, this exhibition gives hope.

POLITICAL POSTERS are more relevant NOW than ever before.
It’s enriching to see the urban Australian tradition of dissent and discussion illustrated through humble sheets of paper, alive, kicking and irreverent.

The fight for air time continues with POLITICAL POSTERS NOW … from Sydney to Melbourne, Blacktown to Alice, this is a showcase of artists, designer, activists delivering reams of menace, solidarity and delight.

Celebrating the inter generational raw power of James Newell Osterberg Jnr

How does Iggy Pop do it? A contemporary performer who maintains a hypnotic, presence and attraction. We invited artists to interpret the title IGGY either literally, metaphorically or metaphysically.

Raw power's got no place to go
Raw power honey it don't want to know
Raw power is a guaranteed OD
Raw power is laughin' at you and me
And this is what I want to know
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Raw power
Can you feel it?

(Raw Power, The Stooges, 1973)

Not Everywhere and Not Forever

Damien Minton presents

A Sunday Arvo Art Salon
SUNDAY 20 MARCH 2022
4-6PM
583 Elizabeth Street | REDFERN

We welcome back Sam James to a Sunday Arvo Art Salon. Sam is a Sydney based photographer who has studied at the Sydney College of the Arts, Masters of Studio Art and a Photo Media degree from the Edith Cowan University, WA. He has exhibited in both Sydney, Fremantle and Perth since 2004.

‘This body of work looks at the idea of, and operates as, a personal atlas. An idea introduced to me by Vanessa Berry in her book Mirror Sydney. Unlike a standard atlas that is just place names, maps and dates, a personal atlas is also the thoughts and feelings, and people and tastes and smells that give places and dates context and importance to an individual.

The works are photographs, artifacts and evidence from the past 15 years in Perth, Sydney and Hobart, Australia and Penang, Malaysia, as well as Berlin, Germany.
It’s not supposed to be a focus on my life or journey or anything like that. I’m more interested in the idea that, despite the elements of the images being easily identifiable and recognisable, another’s perspective and their interpretation of any given time and place is completely unique.

This work was made with gratitude for all those who have helped me.’

JOHN SAXBY | Everything is a photograph

Damien Minton Presents

A Sunday Arvo Art Salon

SUNDAY 19 DECEMBER 2021
4-6PM
TWO HOURS ONLY

583 ELIZABETH STREET
REDFERN

“Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson
At last count, there were roughly 29,000 photographs on my phone. The works here are all drawn from the most recent 18,900, so you know they’re going to be good. Or at least better.

‘‘Everything exists to end in a photograph.” – Susan Sontag.
I like to imagine Sontag said this with a sigh, because she went out with a photographer and it sounds like something my wife would say. But it was years before they met.

‘‘You don’t have to photograph everything,’’ – Nick Kelsh
Author of How to Photograph Your Life, How to Photograph Your Family, How to Photograph Your Baby, How to be Santa Claus, How to be Dad and Naked Babies.

“I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs.” – Garry Winogrand
Some of these photographs were taken with an iPhone and some were taken with a camera, depending on what I was holding at the time and whether or not I had remembered to recharge the battery. All were captured to see what the world looks like in photographs.

“The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don't have to explain things with words.” – Elliott Erwitt

A new suite of works on paper

Sunday Arvo Art Salon

SUNDAY 12 DECEMBER 2021
4-6PM
TWO HOURS ONLY

583 ELIZABETH STREET
REDFERN

'Monochroming' is my new collection of works on paper.

'Monochrome' because for 11 months of the year I stuck to only black and white in my studio before opening up again to colour in the last few weeks and 'chroming' because there's a lot of aerosol in this show.

It's a really interesting time for me to be doing a show. My last show 'Yeah Nah Year' was just a week before I started Gladdy Drawing Club. Which has consumed all my time since and is hands down the biggest project I've ever done.

I was interested in whether becoming this voice in drawing in Sydney would affect my work. I have been exposed to so many amazing models from around the world. I've had intense conversations with guest artists about their studios. And I've had to be present in that room at The Gladdy or on Vimeo with thousands of people for hundreds of hours of their drawing practice.

Looking through this suite of work now, I'm relieved that I didn't get too technical or precious. I didn't die from the pressure of my peers, or the amazing models or the people whose tickets have literally paid my rent for the last year.

I feel insanely open both in my life, and also with the work. It's great. I think the contact high was just what I needed. There's drawing (of course), over-spraying, mark-making, piss-taking and some moments of real mess. TOTAL BORE

TOBY ZOATES | PUNK OUTSIDER

TOBY ZOATES | PUNK OUTSIDER
book launch, reading and a selection of artwork

‘Punk Outsider is a roman a clef novel, an alternative Sydney history, exaggerated, confabulated, conflated; a punk text, violent, at times offensive, about life for the poor on the streets’. TOBY ZOATES

Toby Zoates launches his new independently published book, PUNK OUTSIDER, with a selected reading from the book accompanied by Yuta on punk guitar.

Born in Melbourne, Toby Zoates grew up in a Housing Commission Estate where art was far from his working-class parents’ ken. To earn a living he became a registered nurse, specializing in palliative care. In 1969, at the age of 19, he apprenticed himself to Master artist “Lattimer” of Adelaide, preparing his art materials and nursing him till his death in India in 1974. There TZ continued his studies in yoga, music, art and philosophy at the Sivananda Jungle University, Rishikesh.
After five years on the road he crash-landed in Sydney in 1977 at the Darlinghurst Squats and, finding the city vibrant and full of light, decided to launch his art from there. In 1978 he realized he needed an Aussie house-hold anti-brand name and thus reinvented himself as Toby Zoates.
For the next 35 years he has exhibited and performed in squats, cafes, halls, clubs, galleries and theatres in Sydney’s version of an arts’ underground. He created performance happenings to fund community projects and civil disobedience stunts, using rock’n’roll, posters, murals, paintings, animated cartoons and comics as his medium. His animations have shown all around the world winning him a Bronze Dragon in Krakow, Poland in 1985, (for “The Thief of Sydney”) and equal best with Japan at the 1 st International Trash Film Festival in Lille, France in 1996, (for “Virgin Beasts”.) All the while he got himself a B.A. in Communications from the University of Technology, Sydney (1990.)

His artworks are in the collections of the National Gallery in Canberra, The Art Gallery of N.S.W., The Powerhouse Museum, The State Library of N.S.W. and Sydney University.

Toby Zoates says he surfs the waves of pop-culture, subvertising punk street art as rock’n’roll sci-fi folklore. Hot from the underground, his work explodes with psychedelic visions of the underworld and libertarian satire on politics and society, past and future, iconoclastic, naïve and surreal.

‘Art is the bridge between the spiritual world and the physical.

Brian Eno talks about how art is not a pyramid scheme but a spider web that connects all things that humans have made in the physical world.

These paintings in the show, formed meaning through my subconscious- revealing truths to me that would’ve normally remained hidden.

Whilst doing a painting, I approach with no idea of what I want to convey other than making the picture work. Once time has passed and I come back to look at the painting, I can see exactly how I was feeling during the process. My emotions are reflected inside the painting- it’s a map to navigate the soul.

In the modern age we have been tricked into believing we will find our souls in gaining material items, but creating art and music isn’t about making a product but being present in the moment that is happening right now’. OSCAR SULICH

Since graduating from the National Art School, Sydney, painter Oscar Sulich has participated in a number of solo and group shows at inner city Sydney exhibition spaces.

Oscar also plays guitar in a contemporary Sydney based band, Eternal Dust. A three piece with drum machine the band performs original songs in independent Sydney and Melbourne music venues.

“This suite of paintings and sculptures build upon my ongoing journey into colour and the geometric forms, lines and patterns of nature and architecture.

I live within a subtropical rainforest on the mid north coast of NSW, bordered on one side by the Pacific Ocean and the other side by a vast sweeping valley of green farm land. The tall straight lines of the forest tree trunks, the blues and greens of the always changing coastline, sculptural granite boulders and the simple architectural forms of old farm sheds have all inspired these various works. Starting with simple pencil drawings of abstract forms I lay down intersecting angular plans of colour with textured Zen-like brush strokes, with one colour calling forth another until a final composition is reached. Sometimes the paintings can come together very quickly at other times it’s a long journey of colour relationships being reworked over and over again.

The sculptures were initially inspired by the paintings and my love of modernist architecture, which in turn started to influence the paintings. Many thanks to Adelaide based sculptor Tony Rosella for helping me create the sculptures in his George Street Studios and introducing me to working with aluminum.’’ Greg Clarke

After graduating from the South Australian School of Art with a BA in Fine Art majoring in photography under Fiona Hall and Michael Snelling, Greg Clarke moved to Sydney in the late 1980’s to pursue his career as a visual artist. Working from a warehouse studio in an old tomato sauce factory in Darlinghurst, Greg focused on painting, set design, filmmaking and creating collages and constructions from found objects and images. Throughout the eighties music played a large part in his life with Greg performing in alternative art bands Pluto in Paris, Kiss me Stupid and Beautiful & Gorgeous.

After a number of solo and group exhibitions in Sydney, Canberra and Adelaide Greg moved to New York where he developed his ideas and a concept for a new form of contemporary vaudeville. Returning to Sydney, Greg put his concept into practice and created the highly successful Sunset Club at Bondi Beach. This was to be a turning point in his career becoming a highly successful entrepreneur, creative producer and festival director. A 30 year career followed from working at Belvoir St Theatre to producing the Jamie & Vanessa dance parties and the nightclub Spicy Friday throughout the nighties, becoming Senior Producer at the Sydney Opera House, Director and CEO of the Adelaide Fringe, Artistic Director at Launceston’s Junction Arts Festival and Creative Director at the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras.

Much of the success Greg has had throughout his career in the performing arts can be attributed to his visual arts background. He has a passion for commissioning and creating unique ‘theatrical adventures’ that are always visually based, often large-scale and site specific. For the Adelaide Fringe he designed a giant illuminated disco cuttlefish built around a ute, created the street ballet The Sirens featuring 4 metre high dresses made up of thousands of LED lights and in Tasmania created Roundabout a dance work on roller-skates featuring 99 illuminated transparent plastic costumes he designed and made himself.

Greg is now focused on creating his own work of colourful geometric abstract paintings and sculptures, in which the natural and the architectural morph together. The joyous juxtaposition of colours creates a bold visual drama that breaks out of the simple linear structure of the grid. Although strong horizontal, vertical and angled lines still form the basis of the work, the planes of contrasting and complementary colour combinations bounce off each other, imbuing each work with its own unique balance, energy and rhythm.

‘Thresholds explores our domestic lives through a series of paintings and small-scale assemblages that juxtapose the built environment with organic plant life. I focus on how painting might interrogate imagery and materials from the built and natural environment in order to comment on the imaginary trappings of everyday suburban reality.
I am interested in perceived dichotomies present in even casual conversations about domestic spaces - those of house and garden, masculine and feminine, inside and outside.

Using collages of various support material, I construct sketches of invented landscapes which respond to images in my mind’s eye rather than direct depictions of the environment, interpreting the landscape and rethinking it through process.

My small scale assemblages use everyday building materials such as plaster, wood, steel, terra-cotta and adhesives to build work as one would build a house. This material approach to art making forces me to surrender to the whims of the material, allowing the elements to guide the picture making. These in turn inform my paintings which spring from ideas spawn in the plaster works. Combined they create a collage-like abbreviated representation of the world around me.

My practice aims to reach a point of truth, one that prioritises experience over appearance, both technically and formally, as well as in conception.’

PEANUT DANCE OFF FEATURING LIVE SNOOPY MUSIC on the last day Saturday 6 Nov 2021 | 4 to 6pm

As a typical Sydney suburban kid in the sixties, the comic strip Peanuts, especially Snoopy, was part of our weekly diet of American pop culture.

Snoopy was someone on my side, always there with an mischievous snigger and lust for life.
On his twentieth birthday, the mother of Charles Schulz, (the creator of Peanuts), said only one thing about the future:
“If we ever have another dog, I think we should name him Snoopy”. Snupi is a Norwegian term for endearment.

Is it just me looking out for him, or has there been more and more Snoopy’s displayed on peoples clothing during covid and now covid shutdown 2.0?

it’s intriguing to see generation after generation ‘own’ Snoopy for themselves, creating a trusted relationship with him. This exhibition is a result of such a conversation with Sydney based emerging artist Ben King, who selected a large number of the artists showing in this group show.

Snoopy and the Peanuts characters go beyond commercial marketing and branding, they symbolise something more, something archetypal … especially in these fucked up times.

Of course each artist’s contribution has its own take on how to interpret Snoopy, all of them pushing the boundaries in how we acknowledge and interpret this iconic 20th century western cultural symbol.

Damien Minton Presents a Sunday Arvo Art Salon

ANNE KWASNER | MIGRANTS, GUNS AND MEDIA

SUNDAY 6 JUNE 2021
4 TO 6PM | TWO HOURS ONLY
583 ELIZABETH STREET REDFERN

‘My plate series are works on upcycled plates and platters that have been retrieved from second hand and vintage shops. They all come with their own histories, most unknown to me. I like their imbued history and use them to paint my images with onglaze.
This onglaze painting is a traditional painting technique that was very popular with genteel white ladies and still popular today. Now days this practice has been turned on its head, and I’m part of this new tradition of plate ‘decoration’. I use them to tell stories of modern life.
In this Sunday Arvo Art Salon there are three different tales I tell: migrants, guns, and life on screen.
Migrants travelling to new countries with their individual stories merging to be part of the great diasporic narrative. This includes my own parents who were migrants to Australia escaping communist Poland.
Then there are guns, particularly the proliferation of guns in children’s hands in America. I’m fascinated by parents who proudly publish their kids’ photos on the internet. As an Australian, an outsider to this culture, I try and understand by painting these ‘precious’ children on delicate plates as a form of souvenir of a strange American obsession.
Finally, I look at our preoccupation with viewing life through our screens.
These works date from 2019- 2021.

I am a multi-disciplinary artist who has worked across the mediums of printmaking, mixed media and drawing plus in more recent years incorporated ceramics and installation.
I have exhibited since 2006, with a history of working with independent spaces. In my masters completed in 2019 I explored the migrant experience in, I Come with Baggage, this has come as a progression on my ideas of diaspora, and the melancholy of displacement. In 2020 I am exploring the normalisation of the relationship children have with firearms in America.’

Astrid as a singer/songwriter has released four solo albums. Phil Calvert of The Birthday Party fame, with Astrid, produced the latest album, ‘Beauty in the Ordinary’. Her husband, the legendary Tony Cohen, who passed away in 2017, produced Astrid’s previous records.

During COVID, Astrid concentrated on a painting a day, to keep herself sane, doing a series of watercolours, which range from figurative to abstraction. From abandoned cars in a landscape to abstracted composition with colourful shapes. Astrid was initially inspired by the simplicity of a percussion egg shaker which set the ball rolling and she has done over 100 watercolours.

28 of these watercolours have been selected for the Sunday Arvo Art Salon on the 30th of May 2021.

Drawing on the Back of Photos
GARRY TRINH

SUNDAY 11 APRIL 2021
4 TO 6PM | TWO HOURS ONLY
583 ELIZABETH STREET REDFERN

Garry Trinh is an artist working in photography, video, painting and
works on paper. He makes art about the uncanny, unexpected and
spontaneous moments in daily life. He is inspired by his surroundings and from the vast visual output of mass culture. He is perplexed by the perception of artists as coffee-drinking loafers who work whenever they feel like it. He doesn't even drink coffee. His works are about a way of looking at the world, to reveal magic in the mundane. He is never bored and never late.

“Drawings on the back of photographs is an on going body of work made with a blue biro, on the back of photographic work prints. The drawings evolved from unconscious doodling, attempting to understand or identify a thought. They are drawn during moments of inattention with the mundane task of daily living”.

He holds a BA in Psychology and a BA in Visual Communications /
Photography and Digital Imaging from the University of Western Sydney.

Trinh was the winner of the Sydney Life photography prize in 2007 and
won the Auburn Mayoral Photographic Prize in 2009 and 2010. His photo
book Just Heaps Surprised to be Alive was nominated for Photography Book
of the Year at the 4th International Photo book Festival at Kassel,
Germany. From 2017-2019 Trinh was a full time tenant at Parramatta
Artists Studios.

His work is collected by the Art Gallery of NSW and Artbank. He has been
exhibited at the Australian Centre for Photography, Campbelltown Arts
Centre, Blacktown Arts Centre, Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, Stills
Gallery, Gallery 4A and many others.

Trinh lives and works in Sydney Australia.

JOHN SAXBY
SHADOWLAND

SUNDAY 29 NOVEMBER 2020
4 TO 6PM | TWO HOURS ONLY
583 ELIZABETH STREET REDFERN

We are pleased to present John Saxby’s second suite of images taken with his iphone.

‘I was standing in a laneway in Paddington, trying to capture the shadow of an airborne sparrow on a far wall, when I began to think that this whole iPhone photography thing was getting out of hand.

Another day, another laneway, attempting to line up a cactus, a TV antenna, a frangipani and a church spire above a garage. Just so. The dog was restless. I was standing on his lead 100m from home. Worst. Walk. Ever.

One time, I tried to capture the shadow of the airborne dog itself, while I threw his ball. That’s not easy to do when you’re also holding a phone.

This year, we also had to stay inside for a while, so I started shooting the flowers. The curve of their vase. The mystery of their petals. Their pollen. I need help. Like a dog with a bone, a man and his phone are not easily parted. This exhibition is a testament to that.

It’s about holding a lead and a phone and your hand steady. It’s about holding all that and the hands of your children. And the hand of your wife. And the shopping.

It’s about holding it together and the long shadows that casts.’

GRETTA KOOL

CMYK

ONE WEEK ONLY

Wed 11 to Sat 14 November 2020

Opening Tuesday 10 November 2020

Sheffer Gallery 38 Lander Street Darlington

A COVID SAFE VENUE

(c)Cyan, (y)Yellow, (m)Magenta and (c)Key- colours plus a mixer, pre- digital these were the building blocks of the the printing industry.
Here Gretta Kool presents a sweep of thirty immaculately white framed tondos.
Formally tondos (circular shapes) focus viewer attention to chromatic and tonal details that merge in the illusion of materiality and spatiality.
This series begins in the current eddies of the mathematical, beginning as nine similar marks with an indexical relationship to sets of information- like bullet points, full stops or other punctuation marks to break up the page or flows of information.
Kools coloured circles are meticulous collages.
The nostalgic qualities of the work derive from a treasure trove of 30 year old popular culture fashion magazines- witness the choice of materials, the coloured inks and how they sit on or are absorbed by the paper stock.
CYMK has the air of water colour miniatures painted on ivory as well as Victor Vassarely’s wonderfully optimistic late modernist abstractions telling us that technocracy could be perfect.
We enter a Pre CGI sensate world of precise and scintillating stylisations, and amusing neo – Freudian references. We submit to hallucinations in this quasi-surreal terrain.
These giant Petrie dishes are slivers of a newly formed language. Kool is making up time relishing the possibilities of late modernist cultural cherry picking ( 3 trips to the Indian sub-continent, 5 to Japan).
A rich repertoire of damp humid nights and brocade swatches, shifting scales, shimmering fogs and sun-showers, no clothes or all clothes. Like Taipei with its marvelous array of aerial freeways, paper print stock, that smell, democratic social engagement, the clash-fusion of vision, visionaries and looters. (remember Chiang Kai Shek’s fortuitous raid on the Forbidden City).

Gretta Kool’s CYMK are portholes in our own Boeing 747s.
Luxurious platforms for the viewer that give us an honoured vantage point to reconsider our relational world, mandarin like.
All hail the aerotropolis !

A COVID SAFE VENUE

‘After the Covid rush of everything having to go online, I soon had enough and vanished in to my garden.

I concentrated on what was directly around me.

I paid attention to what was growing and to what connected me to people. Roses that I planted in my Grandmother’s memory, lavender and daisies propagated by my Mother, geraniums from my Auntie and the neighbour up the road.

Painting the flowers from life became my daily focus. Not looking to paint a realistic image, I was taken by the colours which created the forms and tones that shaped them. The background was decided according to the light against the white walls of my studio, sometimes creating an after image or illusion from having stared at the still life for too long. So as not to divert from the initial focus of the flowers, the crystal vase was kept ambiguous yet with adequate colour and form so that the composition of the image was balanced.

The images were painted quickly before the calendula flowers shut their petals at the end of the day and lastly, an occasional hint was given of the wooden ladder on which the vase was seated.’

‘Connectivity exponentially compounds the masquerades of the everyday, we are now porous holograms desperately trawling the illusions of love and the smorgasbords of taste.

Community, poodles,…. et al. Ha!

Bankrupt, the halcyon days are over, the barbarians are already amongst us. Elated. Laugh. Have courage. One must fight.

This exhibition continue my interests in the intersections of subjectivity and objecthood; the contexts of language and meaning; the processes of entropy as witnessed now and across multitudinous histories. These works operate as polyvalent vehicles- paintings as vexatious shape shifters catching street idiom, grand narratives, abbreviated asides and obscure signifiers in their train. The frenzied surfaces and lurid colour fields momentarily reveal texts- clarion calls, curses, questions and descriptors that demand your immediate translation.’ (Craig Judd October 2020)

COVID SAFETY REGULATIONS IN PLACE

“We’re living in strange times; environmental disasters, mostly man made, have taken hold of our landscape over the last 6 months and now a global pandemic is stealthily spreading. Our leaders seem only guided by markets for their purpose and the ‘Tragedy of the Commons’ is being playing out on a global scale. So what is the point of painting abstract paintings; locked away in the studio, back turned to the world, in a tussle that has no relevance, no purpose. If it’s not just about beauty, or the construction of an object, and attempting to claim truth and meaning seems just presumptuous then we are left with a ‘what then?’ I don’t know.” - TONY MIGHELL

Tony Mighell studied in various Melbourne art schools in the seventies including the Victoria College of the Arts then journeyed to the New York Studio School.

The studio assistant for the Australian modernist Roger Kemp, Mighell was involved in the infamous Melbourne group of artists in the early eighties, Roar Studios.

He coordinated the painting studio at the art school in Launceston Tasmania working alongside Australian artists like Bea Maddock.

Moving to Sydney in 1994 after a number of exhibitions in Melbourne, Mighell developed a sought after reputation installing art exhibitions which led to him being the Head of Installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney.

Whilst always maintaining his art practice, Mighell moved on from the MCA in 2015 and from then on has concentrated on his painting and drawing.

“All I can do is keep going, striving after a form that somehow answers a question you don’t know the words for, keep going till some connection occurs which might look off kilter, slightly ugly, probably closer to failure than success and occasionally holds mystery and openness. “

In this exhibition, (+) Plus, Tony has returned to using oil paint and with the pros and cons of limitless time in the studio investigates the intentional extension of mark making and the tenuous borders between a line and a plane or space.

Returning to live and work in her hometown, Sydney, Genevieve has resided in Japan for extensive periods of time. Japan has influenced her aesthetic, especially in terms of colour and space, as well as the latitude to explore and develop a unique technique of playfully combining cut out images painted on acetate and then collaged onto paper.

In this new body of work Genevieve explains:

“It made sense to paint my home, returning to Sydney following 4 ½ years in the Japanese countryside. My works are a record of my favourite corners in my little apartment, a documentation of changing light and objects I’ve collected. I’ve always found a sense of comfort in the objects I keep around me. By moving around these objects and studying them as moments in time, I hope to give you a sense of my space, as I have lived in it.”

Starting as a student at the National Art School, Sydney, graduating in 2006, Genevieve has developed life long friendships with a supportive group of fellow artists. Successfully exhibiting her work in independent gallery spaces, this is the fourth time we are honoured to be displaying her work.

WEEK ONE

TOTAL BORE | YEAH NAH YEAR

ONE WEEK ONLY

Tues 15 to Sat 19 September 2020 | 11am to 6pm

Sheffer Gallery 38 Lander Street Darlington

Total Bore - Yeah Nah Year

We welcome back the artist Total Bore who first exhibited with the Damien Minton Gallery after his National Art School graduation show in 2013. His band Post Paint also made one or two (maybe) inglorious appearances at the gallery.

This new suite of work, ‘Yeah Nah Year’ was originally titled: Sydney’s Best Roadie – but the events industry has been a serious casualty of the Covid shutdown.

With time to refocus on producing art, this new body of work pivots around the chaotic events of the year, yet is optimistic and energised.

The images start as frantic pencil drawings; brief layers of ink and acrylic are added and then finished the moment the image is resolved. In the artist’s own words:

“It’s a collection of paintings and animations with huge swathes of exposed white ground, intense, and sometimes fluorescent colour, and transparent paint that is laid down in one sitting then left alone.”

This exhibition will be strictly regulated under advised NSW Government Covid Safety guidelines.

APRIL 29 – 22 MAY 2020

THE COVID SHUTDOWN SERIES

Welcome to THE COVID SHUTDOWN SERIES of exhibitions exclusively viewed online with four invited artists sharing their visual response to the Covid 19 pandemic in a political/personal – personal\political manner.

The invited artists are Chips Mackinolty, Toby Zoates, Wendy Murray and Toni Warburton.

Each image will be available to order and purchase as a limited edition (ed. of 19) digital print on archival paper in either A3 or A4 paper size.

Each unframed print can be purchased, including postage, for $280 (AUD).

The artist receives 25% of each sale, the agent a 25% coordination fee, 25% is for printing and postage expenses and 25% of each print will be donated to Researcherenye Wappayalawangka, the Professional Development Fund for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health researchers in Central Australia.

This transparent break down reflects the cooperative nature and trust now necessary in a post covid visual arts industry. Creating a circular energy, where artist, agent and YOU meet and link arms for a common purpose.

WEEK ONE COMMENCING APRIL 29, 2020

COLONIAL VIRUS

CHIPS MACKINOLTY

A series of seven ‘stamps’ designed and presented by Chips Mackinolty and launched on 29 April 2020 ‘in memory’ of the 250th anniversary of COVID-1770.

Ironically the first case of COVID-19 in Australia was notified on 25 January, the same date Arthur Phillip arrived at Port Jackson and the day before they landed and established British hegemony ... the beginning of super spreading ...

With the 250th anniversary of Cook this year, the continuing echoes of Colonial Virus, and the current pandemic threatening Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, are shockingly obvious.

Chips Mackinolty is best known as the seminal political poster designer from the Tin Sheds, Sydney University in the seventies. What is little known is once the Earthworks Poster Collective dissolved in 1980 Mackinolty moved to the Northern Territory. He was as an art adviser to Aboriginal art centres then he worked at the Northern Land Council in Darwin as a journalist, designer and field officer.

Mackinolty was employed as an advisor to the Northern Territory Labor Government 2002–2009, under various ministers, then quit to work for the Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance Northern Territory (AMSANT) as a policy worker, a position he held until 2013 when he left for an extended period in Europe and the Middle East.

Now back in Alice Springs and embracing the artistic tools of digital technology, Chips has created this series, Colonial Virus.

WEEK TWO

TOBY ZOATES

Calling himself ‘the punk poofy cat’, Toby Zoates has lived in Social Housing and worked as a registered palliative care nurse most of his life. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Communications) degree at the University of Technology majoring in writing and text studies.
He eschews creating ‘Art’ as pretty pictures akin to IKEA furniture or commercial design, instead being a practitioner of ‘subvertising’ as opposed to advertising, hence his nom de guerre ‘Toby Zoates’ since 1978.
He has used every medium he could dream up to communicate: posters, flyers, murals, comix, calendars, paintings, film, video, writing, performance, activism/street theatre, and digital online platforms.

He is passionate about the democratic rights of workers, women, queers, the poor, prisoners, First Australians, animals and the environment, arrested seven time for such.
Toby Zoates scorns the barrier between ‘bullion high art’ and ‘trashy low art’. He operates within pop culture in a naïve, primitive, cartoon style, using metaphors from science fiction text, movies, fairy tales, religious myths and literature to communicate an alternative narrative.
For him cartoons are free to be as satirical, absurd and surreal as the artist wants, using humour and irony to underline the message.

WEEK THREE

WENDY MURRAY

Wendy Murray is an artist and arts educator based in both Sydney (AUS) & Los Angeles (USA).

Formerly known as Mini Graff, Murray worked as an urban street poster artist between 2003-2017. Her artworks are informed by her knowledge of street art and her interest in psycho-geography and the concept of ‘the derive’, or unplanned journey . Murray has a studio in L.A. but is currently stuck in a holding pattern in Sydney.

WEEK FOUR

TONI WARBURTON

Five Swatch Motifs
Toni Warburton is a visual artist, ceramist, writer and educator. She and her husband, Chris Ward, a musician and botanist live and work at Sharawadgi Hall, Sutton Forest in the NSW Southern Highlands.
Captivated by place, in her work Warburton engages with a range of media, situations and sites to explore resonance, encounter and social relations around how human processes interact with and impact on natural ecosystems.
“Sometimes held in my mind’s eye for a day or two, ideas and visual encounters that strike my imagination transcribe as reflections. I like the fluency of brush and water color for this process. How and why particular things manifest seems to me a timely mystery.”
visit Toni at www.toniwarburton.com.au
Notes for The Covid Shutdown series
”In isolation, Instagram images and stories can expand one’s company. The conviviality of art, actions and ideas of others encourages and inspires.
My appreciation of many intriguing posts of textile artworks suggested the idea to make pictures in the form of patterns for fabric samples or swatches: Five Swatch Motifs. “

ASCLEPIUS ( Heal Health Workers), Toni Warburton, 2020

The son of Apollo, Asclepius the ancient Greek god of healing had five daughters, each one a goddess for an aspect of the healing process. To this day his staff, wreathed in a non- venomous snake, represents the healing aspects of the medical arts.

Paintings by Greg Clarke

Visual Artist, Festival Director and showman, Greg Clarke has worn many hats over the last 30 years. He’s been a photographer, painter, performance artist, cabaret performer, performing arts producer, nightclub owner and ran the infamous Jamie and Vanessa dance parties in Sydney in the 90’s. He has created events at the Sydney Opera House, was the director of the Adelaide Fringe and Sydney Mardi Gras and is currently Artistic Director of Junction Arts Festival in Tasmania.

After graduating from the South Australian School of Art with a BA in Fine Art majoring in photography under Fiona Hall and Michael Snelling, Greg moved to Sydney in the late 1980’s to pursue his career as a visual artist. Working from a warehouse studio in an old tomato sauce factory in Darlinghurst, Greg focused on painting, set design, filmmaking and creating collages and constructions from found objects and images. Throughout the eighties music played a large part in his life with Greg performing in alternative art bands Pluto in Paris, Kiss me Stupid and Beautiful & Gorgeous.

After a number of solo and group exhibitions in Sydney, Canberra and Adelaide Greg moved to New York where he developed his ideas and a concept for a new form of contemporary vaudeville. Returning to Sydney, Greg put his concept into practice and created the highly successful Sunset Club at Bondi Beach. This was to be a turning point in his career becoming a highly successful entrepreneur, creative producer and festival director. A twenty year career followed from working at Belvoir St Theatre to producing the Jamie & Vanessa dance parties and the nightclub Spicy Friday throughout the nighties, becoming Senior Producer at the Sydney Opera House, Head of Events in Sydney’s The Rocks and Darling Harbour, Director, CEO of the Adelaide Fringe festival and most recently Creative Director at the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras.

Much of the success Greg has had throughout his career in the performing arts can be attributed to his visual arts background. He has a passion for commissioning and creating unique ‘theatrical adventures’ that are always visually based, often large-scale and site specific. For the Adelaide Fringe he designed a giant illuminated disco cuttlefish built around a ute, created the street ballet The Sirens featuring 4 metre high dresses made up of thousands of LED lights and in Tasmania created Roundabout a dance work on roller-skates featuring 99 illuminated transparent plastic costumes he designed and made himself.

Greg is now focusing full-time on creating his own art and has embarked on his own personal colour trip. He has created colourful abstract oil paintings inspired by the mountain on the Mid-North coast of NSW where he now lives. He simplifies the lighthouse, trees and the bush land around the mountain, and even the mountain itself, into overlapping geometric planes of flat colour. Painting in a disassociated and heightened sensory state he describes getting sucked into the spaces within each painting he creates. Playing with line, abstract shapes and planes of colours he builds up the work within the space until a simple and unexpected but finely balanced composition is reached.

Since recently graduating from the National Art School, Sydney, painter Oscar Sulich has participated in a number of group shows in exciting new emerging inner city Sydney exhibition spaces.

This solo exhibition of paintings on canvas, glass and paper is staged at the skate apparel store on Oxford Street Sydney, Pass~Port. Oscar has previously designed a sold out skateboard deck at Pass~Port.

‘Darlinghurst Nights is a collection of works on canvas, paper and glass. Made over the course of 2019 the works transition from figuration to abstraction, through to a collage process, dissecting and slowly breaking down layers. Using images lifted from life recorded on an iPhone as well as drawings from life, these paintings are created by subtracting and adding to the work until they reach a point of completion.’ – OSCAR SULICH

Oscar also plays guitar in a contemporary Sydney based band, Eternal Dust. A three piece with drum machine the band performs original songs in independent Sydney and Melbourne music venues.

Damien Minton presents CLEAR HISTORY, a new exhibition by the Sydney based contemporary artist David McKay.

Returning after an extensive residency in America, David has settled back into his hometown, Sydney.

This exhibition of new work showcases the ease of mediums David has traversed throughout his extensive career.

From his first solo show at Hogarth Galleries, based on vintage postcards from Sydney, he has successfully combined a career as an exhibiting artist with that of a production designer and director in both the Australian and international film industries. David was also part of the original stable of artists who produced designs for iconic Australian surfwear label MAMBO.

CLEAR HISTORY will include a series of intimate, largely Australian botanical works that are painted in reverse on perspex. This form of painting has a rich history and is known in Germany as ‘Hinterglasmalerei’.

Since returning to Australia, David has reinvigorated his connection with and observation of the local landscape and flora, using a variety of backgrounds, including painted surfboards and skateboard decks.

In a new and exciting development, the exhibition will also include two recycled cardboard coffins, decorated with McKay’s unique designs. David believes the way we send off our loved ones is poised for disruption, rejecting the formal, sombre style of traditional caskets, he suggests it is time to celebrate the life and personality of the deceased. Inspired by Ghanaian sculpted wooden caskets and Mexican Day of the Dead, his illustrated coffins show how we can reflect the character, passion and enthusiasm of our loved ones. One of the works on display, ‘Wave Spotting’ features a glimpse of a left hand break in the Pacific Ocean seen through the coastal landscape vegetation.

David Mckay with Cressida Campbell

Sunday 24 November 2019

3 – 4pm

As part of the new exhibition, CLEAR HISTORY, we invite you to a unique conversation between leading contemporary artists, David McKay and Cressida Campbell on Sunday 24 November 2019 between 3 and 4pm.

David and Cressida met at high school as teenagers and share a longstanding, endearing friendship, which developed through one of Sydney’s most explosive and colourful cultural periods in the seventies.

They share a unique sense of humour and an enduring closeness forged over the years through shared experiences, creativity and mutual respect.

From being involved in saving and restoring the River Caves in Luna Park, designing and painting theatre and cabaret sets and their individual art practices , David and Cressida will reflect on the Sydney which shaped them and observations on their careers as artists.

JOHN SAXBY

Editor of the Art Gallery of NSW members magazine Look and a former arts and Spectrum editor at The Sydney Morning Herald, John Saxby has spent much of his career dealing with the words that fill the spaces in between the photos.

In recent years, he has been taking his own iPhone photos, a result of being attached to his device 24/7 and a developing interest in using it to record the world around him: what American writer and curator Brian Droitcour calls the ‘aestheticisation of everyday life in social media’ and his children call ‘Dad’s on Instagram again’.

The everyday life in Person, place or thing, his first solo exhibition, ranges from early morning activity along the Sydney coastline, to urban images, atmospheric landscapes and still life.

While observational in nature, the images are often captured while doing other things: a morning run, the daily commute, school pick-up. ‘They tend to be more random than reportage,’ he says. ‘Less Cartier-Bresson’s “defining moment”, more digitally distracted parenting.’

‘Whatever stillness they at times possess usually belies the activity taking place just outside the frame: the dog pulling at its lead; the children pulling at each other; my wife pulling out her hair: “Earth to John”.

‘In her field, they say that it is sometimes better to be lucky than good, and I acknowledge the role luck has played in the capture of many of these images.’

A recent masters graduate in curating from the University of Sydney, John has also undertaken classes in painting and drawing at the National Art School, UNSW Art and Design and the Waverley Woollahra Art School.

Long surrounded by images in his working life, the urge to make his own work has grown more difficult to ignore with a phone camera at his disposal. ‘I’m always looking for the next shot,’ he says. ‘A low horizon, a certain light, a slice of life… or checking for likes.’

SUNDAY ARVO ART SALON

HYPER SONIC MISSILE

CRAIG JUDD

RECENT PAINTINGS 2019

We are honoured to present the fourth Sunday Arvo Art Salon by Sydney based Craig Judd, one of the great thinkers and creators in the contemporary Australian visual art landscape. Craig Judd’s first exhibition of paintings was at the George Paton Gallery, Melbourne University in 1984. His work has been acquired by the National Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Victoria, Artbank, Allens and other major public and private collections.

Aphorisms about the Exhibition by Craig Judd

Prelude

It is at times important to defer to youth. Age before Beauty as they used to say. Below are some lyrics of the 2019 pop song Hypersonic Missiles. It is a soaring mix of Springsteen and Bowie with a dash of early Depeche Mode Hypersonic Missiles is a very romantic young person’s anthem by Geordie artist Sam Fender.

(see You Tube)

Dutch kids huff balloons in the parking lot
The golden arches illuminate the business park
I eat myself to death, feed the corporate machine
I watch the movies, recite every line and scene
God bless America and all of its allies
I'm not the first to live with wool over my eyes

I am so blissfully unaware of everything
Kids in Gaza are bombed, and I'm just out of it
The tensions of the world are rising higher
We're probably due another war with all this ire
I'm not smart enough to change a thing
I've no answers, only questions, don't you ask a thing

Oh, silver tongue suits and cartoons, they rule my world
Singing, it's a high time for hypersonic missiles
And when the bombs drop, darling
Can you say that you've lived your life?
Oh, this…

Bedrock/Zetgeist/Contexts

Context 1- The World- Everyone must be a Sinophile

I was probably already energised by the Joy Judd Cooma NSW version of Chow Mien and the stories and images of Gough and Margaret Whitlam visiting China. But I have been slightly obsessed sinophile since mid -August 1972 when almost simultaneously I found the books Who’s Who in China 1933 and Louise Jordan Milne’s 1928 novel By Soochow Waters. The first purports to be an encyclopaedic listing of all the powerful people in what was then considered a failed state aching for a new round of colonisation and development – the other a salacious adult romance whose narrative arc hinges upon the morals and realities of intimate relations between Han Chinese and citizens of the United States of America. In the twenty book series Milne employs both countries as sympathetic backdrops to introduce tropes such as old vs new; city vs state; womens and childrens rights etc. These books became talismans leading me further into the complexity of the world’s most powerful state.

My Sinophilia was a fever pitch last month with coverage of the celebrations of the 70^th anniversary of the foundation of the Peoples Republic of China. My round -eye quasi anthropological post pop critic superiority is shattered.. Dazed but still desirous I am one with the millions of fixed smiling faces looking to the Great Leaders. I am overwhelmed by the immense energy and inventiveness of the soldiers, scientists and workers whose achievement is the China of today. All these qualities merge to be best symbolised by the Dongfeng (DF41) Hyper Sonic Nuclear Missile. Stately phalanxes of these giant camouflaged cigars were the high point of the recent parades. The DF-41 is a multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle. With a little bit of artificial Intelligence it eats up oxygen to enhance its extraordinary Mach 8- 10 speeds. It is beyond flexible. The missile can manoeuvre not only in and out of Earth’s atmosphere but also zig zag around oncoming enemy missiles>.Even better the Dongfeng (East Wind) C41 is able to carry 10-12 nuclear warheads, each of which can be directed to a different target.

Bedrock/Zetgeist/Contexts

Context 2. National Local What have we become

May 18 2019 Australians chose to re-elect the Liberal Country Party Coalition. Once upon a time this country was a reformist liberal democracy, the envy of the world. While there are still vestigial elements of that glorious past cling gamely as the 21^st century lumbers into full bloom Australia is a venal and mean nation, desperately conservative and innately xenophobic with a slavish dependence on 19^th century climate denialist economic drivers. But never you mind about that Because How Good is Happy Clappy- Super Nanny State) Australia? NOT.

The immediate urban landscape contexts of the exhibition what the late Adam Cullen described as the psychogeography of the suburbs is fraught. Sydney, always a tough town, the only dynamic international city of the continent is moribund. Spectacularly poor or rather no sensitive future thinking urban plans have been realised. Development with its consort gentrification has created a Sydney that is overpriced and worse still wowser-ish and catatonic/dead after 7pm.

Forget Nature, Economic Reform, Ecology, Global Warming, Extinctions etc Forget it

it is Too Late

So indignation , tired anger and frustration are the main ingredients for the set of Petrie Dishes of this exhibition.

Bedrock/Zetgeist/Contexts

Context 3. Art Styles/Strategies

Paintings are telescoped in scale

Teeter around the Abject. Emblematic natural and figurative forms set into and against in colour fields . A Shimmer Clarity in the Blur. Dense lurid and icky colour, faux naïve ,mashed potato application of paint designed to destabilise the Enlightenment conventions of critical distance and the authorities of taste. We must remember Emmanuel Kant lived only for his pet poodles and Horace Walpole for his his BDSM Neo Medievalist Gothick fantasies. Patterning suggests worlds beyond the confines of the frame enjoys an oscillating depth of field.

The idea of text as image- image as text. Re-presentation of text to underline the ever changing aspects, the absurd and paradoxical in human communication systems.

Selected distortions and juxtapositions can create humour and satiric social reflections

5.Bedrock Contents Contexts final

As a child of the 1970’s I am well versed in the ideals of Avant Gardism. Maybe NOW it is time for the Artists and art objects to lead the world.

I enjoy the conception of the artist as a subversive, a spy in the Houses of Love and the art work work as an incendiary device lobbed into those environments.. My paintings carry a valuable payloads full of dangerous potential .They are vehicles of knowledge . Infinitely flexible brightly bleak objects that travel well, the paintings are not so dissimilar to our new friends the Hyper Sonic Missile Dongfeng D41. Both are not so gentle provocations that cut across the spaces of histories and culture,

In Hyper Sonic Missile I continue my reflections and observations on the constructions Self and the relations and authorities Economy and Culture; the compounding effects of the precession of simulacra. The Law of the Father, the lacunae and intersections of public and private domains in contemporary Sydney.

…

Art works vehicles of knowledge. The paintings are like our new friends DF-17 and DF-41 et al they are not so gentle provocations that cut across or oscillate in the spaces of histories and cultures. The attractions of a nostalgic Historicism and the foibles and are writ large (literally) in work. Some works deal explicitly with mass destruction (Coronal Mass Ejection) or tragic self destruction. There are paintings that are talismanic evocations of Place key sites of experience such as the home, the freeway the adult sex on premises venues.

October 27 | R.S.J. Barker + Paul Livingston

583 ELIZABETH STREET REDFERN

SUNDAY ARVO ART SALON

OCT 27, 2019 | ONE DAY | TWO HOURS ONLY

4 – 6PM

COASTER / COASTER

R.S.J. Barker + Paul Livingston

200 images (100 each) painted on bar coasters

R.S.J. BARKER -

“These images are inspired by whatever moves me or engages me. Reflected figures against a glass wall, a shadow, aerial views, random images on television or newspaper stories.

Exploring methods to rapidly project thoughts onto paper, canvas or boards, has been my constant investigation as an artist. Working on bar coasters continues this process. Imbibing in a convivial drink with fellow artists like Paul Livingston among others, is often a source of inspiration.... and sometimes, considerable periods of self reflection.

These days, sidelines in a range of businesses keeps me out of the house and close to bars where I like to take diary notes and sketch on coasters.”

RSJ Barker first studied art at Kogarah Technical College (1976-77) under the tutelage of Peter Upward, Roy Jackson, William Rose and Suzanne Archer to name a few. RSJ furthered his art studentship at Alexander Mackie CAE (1978-80) where Michael Johnson was as informative as he was volatile and unpredictable.

During these years RSJ and an array of art students (including Paul Livingston) shared a studio with Peter Upward at 227 Broadway. In 1980 RSJ’s painting “Broadway” was exhibited in The Sydney Morning Herald Travelling Art Prize but didn’t win. RSJ rarely enters art prizes and doesn’t hold grudges.

PAUL LIVINGSTON - HOTEL RUMINATIONS

“These paintings are inspired by photos and sketches accumulated over years of touring as a solo comedian under the nom de plume, Flacco, sharing the stage with the likes of The Sandman and The Doug Anthony Allstars. The works are fittingly presented on bar coasters, as life on the road involves a fair amount of sorrow drowning or celebratory congratulation, alone or in the company of strangers. These pieces also mark a return to the style of painting I enjoyed as an art student, surrounded by extraordinary teachers and fellow students like R.S.J. Barker, with whom I endured many hours of spirited painting and excessive drinking.”

Paul Livingston studied art at Kogarah Technical College (1976-77) under the tutelage of Peter Upward, Roy Jackson, William Rose and Suzanne Archer to name a few. Paul furthered his art studentship at Alexander Mackie CAE (1978-80) where Michael Johnson once threw a table at him. Paul soon learned not to demean a noted minimalist geometric abstractionist to his face after a few drinks.

During these years Paul and an array of art students shared a studio with Peter Upward at 227 Broadway. In 1980 Paul’s painting “On Broadway” was the runner up in The Sydney Morning Herald Travelling Art Prize, awarded to fellow Broadway student resident David Hawkes, (to this day Paul still holds a grudge that cannot be quelled).

Today, a sideline in comedy gets him out of the house where he scribbles in diaries and notebooks while touring godforsaken corners of this planet with similar miscreants from a bygone era.

Poetry performance by Mark Mordue featuring an exhibition of posters by John Foy.

VERSE SIX

A spoken word poetry performance by Mark Mordue who is a Sydney-based journalist, editor and poet.

Well regarded for his music and cultural journalism, Mark was recently the editor of the inner Sydney street newspaper, Neighbourhood. His published works include the travel memoir Dastgah: Diary of a Headtrip and the poetry book Darlinghurst Funeral Rites.

The back drop for the performance will be a unique collection of rock’n’roll posters designed and printed by graphic artist John Foy, the Red Eye Records impresario. On display will be rare, original hand screen-printed posters by John as Skull Printworks from the original production runs in the 1980’s.

The posters offered for sale are the last in Foy’s possession - they are his favourites that have been retrieved from long term storage.

John Foy was born in the southern suburbs of Sydney, Australia at the dawn of the 1960’s. As the 70’s ticked away, the adolescent Foy found himself drawn more often to the exciting sights and sounds that the inner-city offered, particularly live music. It was by then the original Punk era.

Foy spent those years splitting his time between working in record stores and screen printing T-shirts in a factory named Phantom after the famous comic designs produced there. But he also possessed design skills honed at high school. When his inner city musician housemates needed a poster, Foy offered to design one. The design, for The Visitors &the Lipstick Killers at the Civic Hotel, was duly executed and farmed out for printing. All and sundry liked the results - except Foy, who was unhappy with the standard of printing. Determined to control the entire process if ever a similar opportunity presented itself, he set about learning more about printing on paper. Generally, posters designed by John Foy and hand printed under the Skull Printworks imprint were only produced in small numbers - typically around 110 copies, and mostly 20” x 30” in size.

Quality control was strict, and most posters were actually used for their intended promotional purpose at the time. Examples that still exist have been assisted in their survival by the thicker paper utilised to deal with the water-based ink issues at the time of their creation. With few exceptions, only one or two examples of each design were ever hand-signed by Foy.

Misfit Situationism in the Rock’n’Roll Gutters of Sydney

VERSE FIVE

The self described ‘punk poofy cat’, Toby Zoates, who played a prominent role in the creative underground squat scene in Sydney, presents a new suite of artworks depicting the venues and characters of the explosive live music scene during the seventies and eighties plus a selection of epic historic posters he pasted on the walls of Sydney at the time.

Born in Melbourne, Toby Zoates grew up in a Housing Commission Estate where art was far from his working-class parents’ ken. To earn a living he became a registered nurse, specializing in palliative care. In 1969, at the age of 19, he apprenticed himself to Master artist “Lattimer” of Adelaide, preparing his art materials and nursing him till his death in India in 1974. There TZ continued his studies in yoga, music, art and philosophy at the Sivananda Jungle University, Rishikesh.

After five years on the road he crash-landed in Sydney in 1977 at the Darlinghurst Squats and, finding the city vibrant and full of light, decided to launch his art from there. In 1978 he realized he needed an Aussie house-hold anti-brand name and thus reinvented himself as Toby Zoates.

For the next 35 years he has exhibited and performed in squats, cafes, halls, clubs, galleries and theatres in Sydney’s version of an arts’ underground. He created performance happenings to fund community projects and civil disobedience stunts, using rock’n’roll, posters, murals, paintings, animated cartoons and comics as his medium. His animations have shown all around the world winning him a Bronze Dragon in Krakow, Poland in 1985, (for “The Thief of Sydney”) and equal best with Japan at the 1 st International Trash Film Festival in Lille, France in 1996, (for “Virgin Beasts”.) All the while he got himself a B.A. in Communications from the University of Technology, Sydney (1990.)

His artworks are in the collections of the National Gallery in Canberra, The Art Gallery of N.S.W., The Powerhouse Museum, The State Library of N.S.W. and Sydney University.

Toby Zoates says he surfs the waves of pop-culture, subvertising punk street art as rock’n’roll sci-fi folklore. Hot from the underground, his work explodes with psychedelic visions of the underworld and libertarian satire on politics and society, past and future, iconoclastic, naïve and surreal.

THIS IS VERSE FOUR

A suite of photos Michael took in the inner Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst when he lived in the local squats and was part of the alternative cabaret group – Funny Stories. His devotion to visually recording his surrounds have found their way to the collection of the State Library of NSW.

‘Sometimes you get lucky … I moved to Darlinghurst in 1978 and took these photographs between 1978-1983. They are part of an archive of images that survived my house burning down in 1984. This suite of photographs is being exhibited for the first time and show an era that has completely disappeared. Darlinghurst East Sydney in 1978 was a village of Italian working men’s cafes, boot makers, butchers barber shops, You could live in a Squat rent free and eat a large saucepan of spaghetti bolognese for $2, go out every night to see a band or performance at Garibaldis or Shepherd and Newman Warehouse. You could see Cabaret Conspiracy at an abandoned hotel. You could wear a pair of Egyptian Cotton Pyjamas all day and write some obscure dystopian monologue, perform it that night at SideFX and be hailed a genius until the sun rose the next day. You could wander the streets take photographs and hope they might still be around 40 years later ‘
