Lost in Painting is an exhibition exploring contemporary Australian painting
by artists from Dianne Tanzer Gallery and Nellie Castan Gallery. Embracing
painting’s possibilities, the pursuit of the artists in this exhibition is to continue
the ongoing debates over the practice of painting and its location within
contemporary art. The galleries are looking to celebrate the diversity of painting
by showcasing a cross section of emerging to mid career contemporary painters
who work in various processes and mediums, utilising different concepts and
content.

SPECTRUM
Dianne Tanzer Gallery 21 NOVEMBER – 19 DECEMBER
Opening, Saturday NOVEMBER 21st, 3 – 5pm
The exhibition Spectrum consists of a series of bookshelf paintings that sit together in a line to form a colour spectrum installation. The shapes of the shelves are modeled on Piet Mondrian’s painting from the 1920’s/30s (a series of works comprising of black lines with occasional blocks of colour, forming simple grid shapes). The paintings have the appearance of a Minimalist installation from a distance, yet function as more literal ‘realist paintings’ when viewed close up, playing with the detailed nature of the objects as they contrast with the sparse vocabulary of Minimalism. The books are disparate groups connected only by their spine colours – using them in this way echoes Minimalist concerns of form over content, whereby the books are stripped of their literary significance and reduced simply to colours. In these works, the books highlight the repetition of geometric forms through a colour spectrum, thus the titles and what they represent are no longer the focus, rather they act as structural tools in a bigger picture.

Focus , Dianne Tanzer Gallery, Melbourne.
14 APRIL – 12 MAY 2007
For the exhibition Focus, I am making paintings of antique cameras and film equipment set against stark black and white backgrounds. I am painting cameras, which with the invention of photography were once perceived as a threat to the medium of painting. The cameras I am using however, are antiques and have themselves been made redundant, superseded by new technologies and relegated to the realm of beautiful collector’s items. In drawing painting and photography together in this way, these works set out to explore the ongoing tension between the two media and the ever-changing balance of power between the two ways of making images.
