Nicholas Kallincos

Having worked for a number of years as a researcher in the biological sciences, Nicholas Kallincos’ image making has filtered through a scientific platform. His resulting exhibition growth axis is concerned with the clinical aspects of the human experience.

Kallincos explores how one navigates the real world with the imagined world and how cognitive decisions are informed by perceptions, intuitions and faith.

The struggle between the rational and irrational, the ordered and chaotic, and the sensible and absurd are all played out within the works. Each image poses a metaphorical puzzle concerning the myriad of ways that time shapes patterns of being and leads us from one moment to another.

The viewer bounces between subjects and objects, actions and inanity.  Images plot along an x and y axis and segmented formulas hold the answers to unposed questions. The result is a collection of beautifully unpredictable paintings.

Home   

by Kir Larwill

Kir Larwill has found exquisite beauty in the simplicity of a bowl. The resulting exhibition home is a quiet homage to the vessel.

Bowls are associated with the familiarity, contentment and warmth of home. It is a recongnisable and timeless object symbolising the universal gestures of containing, holding, gathering, feeding and sharing.

Through Larwill’s exploration of subdued and subtle colour each image becomes a domestic portrait. Larwill has found a rare beauty and captured it in a moment of the everyday.

After many group shows around Melbourne, this is Larwills first solo exhibition.

Outlands

by Nicholas McHugh

Outlands is a series of work which celebrate people, place and life through the language of painting.  McHugh’s refined painting technique, together with an assorted collection of ideas ranging from dreams, nature and historiography of the visual arts leads the viewer on a timeless journey into the abstract and the real.

McHugh lives and works in Melbourne having studied fine art at RMIT and has been exhibiting regularly since 1999.
