"Splashes of thick, dark paint – at once gestura

"Splashes of thick, dark paint – at once gestural and geometrical – obfuscate much of the imagery across Kelly’s most recent oeuvre. A vision of the Sydney Opera House is disrupted by one, as are a series of fences, situated in the long, slightly abstracted field of empty-ish space so characteristic of Australian landscape in the settler imagination."

Online tonight, at our website, we take a look at Brendan Kelly's current show, "Wallumatta White Kid," at The Wellington Gallery. Click the🔗 link in bio to read the full article, or visit @thewellingtongallery ebsite to view works.

"Each part makes up the whole: see the way that oranges and picks in the Crimson Finch installation, 2021, call and echo to each other, birdlike, across the porcelain vessels and marbles."

Tonight, on our website, we celebrate one of Australia's most renowned ceramicists, Pippin Drysdale, who has just opened "The Patterning of Light: Breakaway Series II" at Linton and Kay Galleries. Recently awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Curtin University, and a Living Treasure Award by the WA State Government, Drysdale presents tender, attentive reflections on the "smallnesses" of the world around her.

"In fact, the whole image is 'warm' – the titular 'bloom' is robust and pink like a cheek, the edges of the crockery bright and slightly glowing, everything (including the table) round and soft at the edges. And yet, I’m drawn continually into the unoccupied space the shadows fall across. The plates are empty. The chairs are empty."

Online tonight, at our website, we share a perspective on John Bokor's 'Still Lifes & Interiors,' currently showing with Nicholas Thompson Gallery. Click the 🔗 link in our bio to read about Bokor's time at the Umbi Gumbi Artist Residency, ghostly public spaces during the pandemic, and the liveliness of still life in Bokor's hands.

"Maybe it’s the instant iconicity of the trees that locates these images in and around LA. Perhaps, also, it’s the colour: a tight palette of bright pinks, blues, and yellows harking to this part of the world, with its optimism, its eternal sunshine, and its relentlessness."

In the last days of Paul Davies's 'Belvedere Loop,' at Olsen Gallery, we share an essay on his new suite of photo-paintings, in which here is always elsewhere. Click the 🔗 link in our bio to read the full article!
