NANCY BARON – THE GOOD LIFE

Posted on 2023-07-31

Nancy Baron’s photographs of Palm Springs residents, architecture and style illustrate the land where time stood still. Palm Springs has become one of the most popular resorts in the big Grizzly Bear state of California.

Her photographs document a stranger-than-fiction reality. It is an enigma. Residents and visitors love to dress up and live the leisurely lifestyle of this stylish California resort town. Cocktails, kidney shaped swimming pools, golf, modernist architecture and 50’s fashion are all a part of this nostalgic experience.

Opposite – The Lush Vegetation, 2013

Exhibition runs through to August 12th, 2023

FABRIC WORKS

Posted on 2023-07-31

‘Fabric Works’ brings together a selection of artworks by a cross generational group of artists from the gallery’s program who have used textiles to push the limits of their respective mediums. Contemporary works by Phyllida Barlow, Frank Bowling and Pipilotti Rist are displayed alongside modern masters, including Louise Bourgeois, Alina Szapocznikow, Piero Manzoni and Fausto Melotti. The painterly works on view are sewn, patched and haptic, eliciting fundamental questions about the cross-fertilisation of sculpture and painting. Sculptural pieces display unconventional elements of pliability, familiarity and intimacy, challenging associations about the materiality of sculpture.

Opposite – Louise Bourgeois, Untitled, 2002

Exhibition runs through to September 9th, 2023

HAIK KOCHARIAN – SURFING COLOR

Posted on 2023-07-24

Surfing Color presents photographs that are abstract creations born from realism. Kocharian emphasizes the ambient color in the tradition of minimalism, observing the beauty and mystery of light, shadows, tone, and moods. The environments within the photographs are transformed into ones of symbolism, challenging the viewer to question the images. As a result, a tension is created, like an energy trapped in a frame attempting to escape.

Kocharian, who is also a filmmaker, brings a cinematic eye to his photography, as we experience images that reflect simplicity through his focus on light, color, and the documentation of ordinary life.

In “Going Home,” Los Angeles a pool-like shadow on the foreground alters the nature and surrounding of the image as light breaches from the center of the bike during sunset. “Blue Highway”, Nevada leads the viewer into the deep blue of early dawn and draws them into a new beginning.

His influences in these photographs include artists such as Mark Rothko and photographer William Eggleston, as Kocharian uses color, texture, geometry, and shapes to tell a story that evokes contemplation and introspection.
