ROLAND NANCARROW

Colour, Leaves, Light and Feathers

This year marks 40 years as an exhibiting artist after my very first solo exhibition at Brisbane’s Metro Arts in 1985 and I have completed over 40 solo exhibitions since then. I’ve stuck at it! In 1985 I was living in Brisbane and have since lived in Innisfail and Cairns and travelled widely around the globe as an observer.

I consider myself a painter and maker of ‘curiosities’ as I have been tinkering with 3D works a very long time. I have used the title ‘Colour Leaves Light’ before. It comes from the title of a late George Braque painting and the title for a solo exhibition in 2012 at Galerie Seni Mutiara in Penang called ‘Taman-Bunga-Burung’, which interpreted means Flower and Bird Park as bird motifs crept in amongst the colour, leaves and light over time.

This collection of work draws from artworks produced over the past few years for solo exhibitions, group exhibitions and art prize entries. It also includes works where I explored the still life genre and paintings not shown before that I consider ‘one-offs’ where I have produced immediate personal responses to events but still fit within the collective title for this exhibition.

ALI BEZER

Out of Tune

Out of Tune presents woodblock prints inspired by the altered sonorities of the Prepared Piano—where objects are placed on and between the strings. These works explore rhythm, tone and timbre through layered abstractions that are both a visual echo of sound and a potential graphic score.
