George Paton Gallery
August 22 – September 1 2006
Informed by his continued exploration of abstract painting, Mildura based artist Justin Andrews will construct a large scale geometric wall relief. Splintering from a central axis, a non-linear framework of timber armatures form the base for an explosion of vibrant geometric panels.
Old dirtbike magazines stacked upon a plinth. The intersection of youthful desires and the institution of high art collide in the visually arresting work of Lane Cormick. Revolving on the 'aura' of growing up in the Western suburbs, Cormick re-animates the desires from his youth with surreal objectivity, using grotesque drawing and sculpture as an endgame to constructing a personal museology.
Kate Fulton's work invites the viewer in to a conceptual space beyond what can be seen. The relocation of a physically constructed hole in her studio floor, to a hole in the floor beneath a strategically placed piece of cardboard at the George Paton Gallery, playfully opens up a critical dialogue in relation to truth, democracy and what we are willing to believe.
