there is a light that never goes out
by Jane Gollan
Jane Gollan captures the elusive qualities of light and colour. Her research is a constant investigation into the varied and often unexpected shifts of natural and artificial light within the domestic realm. The play of refracted and reflected light on interior spaces and surfaces forms the foundation for her work.
Smooth surfaces of graded colour mimic the transparency of light; creating abstracted, cropped and momentary movements across the canvas. The paintings undulate between a seamless surface and obvious gesture.
This is Jane Gollan’s second solo exhibition at red gallery.

exploratorium
by Nicholas Kallincos
How is one truth measured against another? How is meaning uncovered from the morass of syntax constantly flooding through our field of view? Exploratorium researches the notion that we are all scientists. Investigations are based upon lived experience where the hypothesis is altered as we move along in post-quantum space and time.
Nicholas Kallincos’ mind is a finely tuned microscope used to explore the human existence through the painted canvas. His body of work concerns explorations into a contemplative versus an empirical science of mind. Kallincos has captured the dramatic and ludicrous nature of existence into a finite canvas while still managing to incorporate all the loose bits that hang off edge.
Nicholas Kallincos has a PhD in biochemistry from the University of Adelaide. He is also a writer, director and animator. His short animated films have been shown worldwide at innumerable film festivals. Most recently his work has been featured in South Korea, Estonia, Chicago, Germany and Brazil.

by Mary Sutherland
Mary Sutherland visually interprets the notion of the heart. Her water colour and wax works on paper investigate not only the romantic and poetic notions of the word but also the medieval and mystical.
Sutherland has set up an intriguing dialogue between the viewer and the image. The heart becomes a vessel, a soul, a memory, a hope and a passion. Deep within each piece are innumerable aesthetic decisions, swathes of ink, and coursing drips. Through Sutherland’s myriad of interpretations and expressions, emotion lingers beyond the paper surface.
no maps here is Mary Sutherland’s second solo exhibition at red gallery.
