MENCHU LAMAS – HABITANDO EL COLOR

Posted on 2025-01-06

Central to the exhibition Habitando el Color and Menchu Lamas’ work is the use of colour and the creation of spaces. In contrast to Cubism, which is based on deconstruction, Menchu Lamas takes a constructive approach. She combines various elements from her own artistic universe, many of which are repeated, to generate spaces. Her style blends figuration and abstraction. Colour also plays a key role in her
artistic vision, establishing a unique visual identity

TAU LEWIS – SPIRIT LEVEL

Posted on 2024-12-30

Inspired by a range of sources including the many faces of the Caribbean Sea, techno and dub music, novels, and studies of religion and spirituality, among other subjects, Lewis expands her narrative and world-building possibilities. These figures, some of whom appear in other guises throughout Lewis’s various bodies of work, populate the artist’s domain with not only their presence and associated fables
but also with what she terms their “material DNA,” the genetic thread that binds them together. The works in Spirit Level originated in the wake of a major loss experienced by the artist. The forms embody Lewis processing a significant life transition, in which she refigures and repurposes material and emotional inheritances. Through the act of synthesizing found and inherited belongings, she reckons with the ending of an object’s journey as it changes hands, the mysterious space in between these transitions, and its reemergence in a new form.

EVA LÖFDAHL – AN AUDILE DOUBLE

Posted on 2024-12-23

Spanning over 40 years, Eva Löfdahl’s practice has generated an oeuvre of sculpture, paintings and performance that resists simple linguistic categorisation. Her works can seem initially inscrutable but are often materialisations of actual phenomena – models of complex postulates and illustrations of otherwise invisible dynamics.
Löfdahl invokes the sacred with the profane, employing materials that are often modest and close to hand – modified everyday objects like wire rods, magnets, or string, supported in plaster or polystyrene. The act of making the work is simultaneously a way to get to grips with its subject and is an attempt to make the abstract and diffuse concrete and graspable.

AMEDEO POLAZZO – DIE STRUDLHOFSTIEGE

Posted on 2024-12-09

Herald St is pleased to announce Die Strudlhofstiege, the gallery’s first exhibition with Amedeo Polazzo. Encompassing our Museum St premises, a specially conceived mural cradles a suite of paintings which float in and around it, the fresco secco and canvases in gentle dialogue. Polazzo’s work embodies layers, palpable physically, narratively, and temporally. The tableaux and their painted support capture moments of intimate
personal history, whimsical imaginings, and generic stock imagery, softly connected by subtle links which spark an undercurrent language.
The exhibition takes its title from a 1951 novel by Heimito von Doderer (itself named after a Jugendstil public staircase in Vienna) which is set during a period of political and psychological tumult in 1920s Austria.

DERRICK ADAMS – SITUATION COMEDY

Posted on 2024-12-02

Composed with brightly hued, faceted planes of acrylic paint and fabric collage, Adams’s paintings present visions of Black Americana through figures engaged in everyday leisure and enlivened by individual daydreams and fantasies. The paintings convey seriocomic moments of conflict and resolution that draw from the narrative strategies of television sitcoms and movies, sharing a sense of humor and familiarity integral to the genre. They reflect the significance of pop culture and comedy in defining the joys and contradictions of contemporary life.
