Photomedia artist Garth Knight combines jewellery and precious gems into a glittering menagerie of exotic creatures, including Asiatic dragons, seahorses, the death's-head hawkmoth (which has a skull-shaped pattern on it's body) and a skull made from pearls, diamonds and X-rays. Bestiary, his latest exhibition, uses minute details to evoke movement, life and sparkle-reminiscent of the bejewelled scarab beetle of ancient Egypt. » Click here to download PDF

Habitus
Author Stylist - Paul Joseph Hopper April - June 2011
Colour has the power of emotion. It affects how we view our surroundings and in uncertain times it makes a bold statement of rebellion and joy.

ARTIST PROFILE

October 2010
In recent times I have become interested in observing the people and things around me. I study people and the way events unfold. I sketch intently and unthinkingly – almost unconsciously. I am an avid spectator to my surrounds and that offers up an infinite degree of wonderment.
Humans, for me, make for irresistible subjects – as they appear in my work. They're mystifying and amusing. They are self-contradictory and xenophobic oddities. They embody a multitude of mysteries that inspire an incredible array of possibilities for my art making.
In 2009, I was awarded the Storrier Onslow Paris Studio Residency. This was to have a profound ........ » Click here to download PDF

While Adam Laerkesen refers to his work as sculptures, we might also think of them as scenarios. They are combinations, sometimes collisions, of materials and imagery that enable meaning to unfold. » Click here to download PDF

SCULPTURE & THE ENEMIES
Author Zoe Harrington January - March 2010
"I create sculpture out of instinct, intuition and vision. It is not until the art work is completed that I have any idea of what my artistic intention was.
The work itself has an open ended quality allowing the viewer to imbue their own poetry and imagination to it. The end result is often menacing and playful, dramatic and visceral, familiar and unpredictable." » Click here to download PDF

Inside Out
Author Alex Warren January/February 2010
In Hugh Ford's world, the backgrounds are blocks of abstract colour, the foregrounds are bold line work but, more than anything, the people are faceless, be they schoolgirls, business men or carnival workers. Maybe the odd beard here, pair of goggles there. » Click here to download PDF

Sweaney's neat paintings of 1950s fibro and weatherboard cottages- with their striped window awnings and swathes of much loved lawn - are a nostalgic joy to behold. Summer trips up the Pacific Highway, the smell of roast lamb, and humbler lives and times seem to be captured inside each one (The House Painter's House, pictured). Sweaney, who is based in Mullumbimby, has a fine eye for detail and seems equally at home working with gouache, oil, watercolour or acrylic. » Click here to download PDF

Beautiful they may be, but there's a slightly uneasy quality to Kirrily Hammond's evocative landscapes (Gippsland Twilight XXI pictured left). Perhaps because they're often depicted at night, "there's a delicious quality to them", says gallery director, Iain Dawson. "They take me somewhere". July 28 - August 8 » Click here to download PDF

Exhibition - Bundit Puangthong
Author Elizabeth Fortescue July 22, 2008
Sydney's newest art gallery will be an up-beat meeting place where people can drop in regularly and check out the work of a wide range of talented younf unknowns, some of whom will inevitably be the stars of the future. At least, that is Iain Dawson's vision for the eponymous gallery which he opened in the art enclave of Paddington last week.
Dawson decided to open his own art gallery to allow the public to be surprised and delighted by the work of a long list of bright and dedicated young artists whose work was not being properly represented by a major, established gallery. » Click here to download PDF
