Charlie Sheard

Kingsley Street, Acton ACT 2601
The fluid and mutable interactions of Charlie Sheard?s intensely coloured washes of paint result in an array of remarkably poised and majestically scaled paintings. These works might seem to coalesce accidentally, coming together all at once, but in fact are the result of intense deliberation, extraordinary presence of mind and an acute eye for composition. Some of them have taken many years to reach their definitive form. The sophistication of Sheard?s work, which draws broadly on the heritage of surrealist abstraction, romanticism, symbolism, abstract expressionism and the esoteric ?thought forms? of the Theosophists, converges in a sizzlingly upbeat and contemporary idiom. This survey of Sheard?s recent work, all produced during the last decade, represents a major achievement, and attests to the coming of age of a virtuosic and intrepidly lyrical artist. This exhibition is curated by Terence Maloon....

Re-Purpose

Kingsley Street, Acton ACT 2601
Re-Purpose takes its impetus from the early collages of Braque and Picasso (and later, from Robert Motherwell) which demonstrate the potential of a ?foreign? object to act as an artistic catalyst. The unprecedented use of pre-existing items in their collages entailed swatches of printed matter or textiles being incorporated (re-purposed) into a new context and given a new identity. It is apparent in retrospect that this use of ready-made items served to challenge the precedence and priority of the ?model? in earlier representational art. The works of these artists has laid a foundation for subsequent practice, where a work?s composition can no longer be dissociated from its subject matter. Re-Purpose presents a range of abstract objects and images by three generations of artists: Matt Arbuckle, Peter Atkins, Chris Carmody, Nicole Ellis, Robert Motherwell, Elizabeth Newman and Trish Roan. All of their works feature a foreign object, a third party, a ready-made pretext or a pre-existing form that generates a fresh outcome. Through incorporation or obliteration, addition or subtraction, the re-purposed template alters its identity and its function. Once the enemy, it has become the ally of invention. This exhibition has been curated by Tony Oates...
