Our Three New Exhibitions - Janette Thompson, Tony Jackson, and Norm Borg

30/10/2013

0 Comments

 
We are thrilled to announce the opening of our three new exhibitions - recent paintings and drawings by Janette Thompson; photography by Tony Jackson; and contemporary glass sculpture by Norm Borg.
Picture
Janette Thompson is a Melbourne-based artist specialising in painting, drawing, and printmaking. Her current exhibition reflects the artist’s fascination with the local fauna. Most of the drawings are meticulously created with coloured pencils. Complex layering of pigments conveys differing textures of marsupials’ fur, and the colourful plumage of different bird species.  

Picture
Tony Jackson is a Melbourne-based painter, photographer, and architect. The current body of work is inspired by his continuous fascination with nature and the environment.Jackson says about this works: “In this series of images I explore the colours, vibrancy and moods. My experience of life informs me that clarity is an elusive state. These images celebrate this aspect and allow the viewer’s own emotions to permeate these forests.”

Picture
Norm Borg is an East-Gippsland based glass artist and sculptor, founder and director of Tallon Glass studios in Nungurner. Borg describes his distinct glass art style as “focussing on organic shapes and surface manipulation, using colours and shapes found in natural and manmade environments.” His recent works of bold contemporary shapes and organic forms draw on the patterns and colours abstracted from a fusion of eucalyptus bark and modern architecture.



The exhibitions will be on view until Saturday, 23 November 2013.

Peter MacPhie: Model and Her Sock

23/10/2013

Picture
This is the last week to see Peter MacPhie’s exhibition of exquisite nude studies, ‘Emotional Tone’.

Today we are highlighting perhaps one of the smallest drawings in the exhibition, ‘Model and Her Sock’ (charcoal, chalk and oil pastel on paper, 47 x 24 cm, $450). The drawing displays Peter’s remarkable skills in capturing, with just a few sharp, quick and confident outlines, the pose and the kinetic energy of the model. 

Do not miss the last chance to see Peter’s exhibition before it closes this weekend. 
See http://www.quadrantgallery.com.au/peter-macphie.html for more details.

Grace Bailey: “Now I See Through a Mirror Dimly”

This week we highlight Grace Bailey’s “Now I See Through a Mirror Dimly” (oil and mixed media on canvas, 121 x 121 cm, $2,750). 

The painting is illustrative of the artist’s fascination with the eyes. Grace writes in her exhibition statement: “I am continually drawn back to painting people's eyes, enlarged with the detail that is rarely noticed. Eyes are so complex and beautiful and reflective. In my work I like to get up close and personal, inside my subject's skins, in order to invade their personal space to enlarge my understanding and the viewer's perceptions.”

This is the last week to catch Grace Bailey’s exceptional exhibition of recent paintings, ‘In the Eye of the Beholder’ – see http://www.quadrantgallery.com.au/grace-bailey.html for more details.

Peter MACPHIE: Work of the Week

9/10/2013

Picture
This week’s Work of the Week from Peter MacPhie’s exhibition of drawings is ‘Study # 1’ (no. 12, charcoal on paper, 66 x 45 cm, $880).

The exhibition showcases Peter’s body of work which stems from his assiduous drawing exercises in the life studios of Melbourne and Victoria. The simplicity of the drawing belies the complexity of the pose. ‘Study # 1’ is distinguished by the fluidity and quality of its lines and bold foreshortenings.

The exhibition is on view at the gallery until Saturday, 26 October.

Works of the Week: Grace Bailey

Picture
This week’s Work of the Week from Grace Bailey’s exhibition ‘In the Eye of the Beholder’ is ‘Hope and a Promise’ (no. 8, oil on canvas, 61 x 61 cm, $880).

The painting comes from a body of work inspired by the artist’s visits to and involvement with orphanages around the world and expresses her concern about the fate of the children in some of the world’s developing nations.

‘Hope and a Promise’ was inspired by a boy Grace had met in a Northern Thailand orphanage, where he has been since the age of three months. Grace hopes that children like these have a promise of good education and a future.

The exhibition is on view at the gallery until Saturday, 26 October.
