A CURATED PLACE

OUT OF TOWNERS

Curated by Heath Nock

Opening night: Friday, 13 September. 6pm - 8pm
On view: 13 - 28 September, 2024

Could a cloud be a form of figurative art? Some people have trouble with the term “figurative art”. What does it look like? A portrait? A still-life? Maybe a landscape? Really, its any art that strongly represents the real world around us.

Think back to childhood. You’re laying back on the grass looking up at the sky. The clouds are moving over head and changing shape. You see a dog, a car, a person or maybe a shape forms that takes you back to a memory. Here the atmosphere has used water and air to create images the viewer can relate too.

Out-of-Towners is a showcase of seven Australian contemporary artists, using different mediums and individual styles, to create a visual language the comments about the world that surrounds them, and the time we’re currently in.

Contributing artists, Hal Whitney, Tahlia Undarlegt, Patrick Oates, Bridget Stehli, Sally Bourke, Benedict dos Remedios, & Nina Radonja.

I have curated these artist to show the strength of contemporary figurative art in Australia. A truly exciting time to be present in.
