GEORGE RAFTOPOULOS April 13 - May 1
George Raftopoulos employs dynamic line and seductive colour to capture his abstracted impressions of lived experience. Whether depicting a day in the Australian landscape or the exuberance of his children’s play, Raftopoulos charges his canvases with a genuine and felt sense of place.

   
  DION HORSTMANS April 13 - May 1
Horstmans’ luminous wall sculptures dazzle with fast lane intensity. Informed by the stylistic principles of geometric abstraction and finished in bright auto paint colour; this new series of interior & exterior sculptures irreverently gesture toward the lure and appeal of speed.
   
  LILLY CHORNY May 4 - 22
Chorny’s personal interpretations of select elements of landscape combine the essence and rhythm of life with her love affair of Oriental styles. Beguiling, surprising, and seductive, Chorny’s artwork can be found in numerous private and corporate collections. In her mythical landscapes, description and dream, and the observed and imagined are combined.
   
  CHRISTINE WILLCOCKS May 4 - 22
Willcocks’ works explore notions of collection and preservation through her multiple practices of drawing, printmaking & installation. Informed by her personal journeys, these works point toward the gap between possession and loss. Willcocks has won numerous art prizes and her works have been acquired by a significant number of collections.
     
  EXPLORATION 10 May 25 - June 12
Each year the directorial team at Flinders Lane Gallery seeks fresh talent to curate into this annual show. EXPLORATION provides commercial opportunities for emerging artists, while also offering buyers the ability to purchase works by promising artists of tomorrow. This year is the inauguration of the Pleysier Perkins Acquisitive Emerging Art Prize.
   
  MARK OGGE June 15 - July 3
Best known for his glimmering images of carnival night life, Ogge carefully embeds a brooding disquiet into his work. Exploring the dichotomy of enchantment and disillusionment the artist invites us to step into his strange, enthralling environments. His dreamlike hyper reality is reinforced by the use of saturated colour and loose, visceral brush strokes.
   
  CROSSING PATHS July 6 - 24
With a burst of colour we celebrate the new works of prominent Wangkatjungka community artists including Biddee Baadjo, Rosie Goodjie & Nada Rawlins. Also in July we will present our annual Little Beauties exhibition, featuring Ormay Nangala Gallagher from Warlukurlangu Arts Centre and Margaret Duncan and Amy Johnson from Mimi Art Centre.
   
  CHRISTOPHE STIBIO July 27 - August 14
Stibio’s delicately rendered paintings explore the visual possibilities present within the landscapes of Lakes Mungo and Arumpo. Moving between abstraction and figuration, these works suggest something of the deeper stratas of shared human experience and the means by which we experience the world around us.
   
  KEVIN WHITE July 27 - August 14
This exhibition continues the artist’s focus on the integration of form and imagery, reflecting his keen respect for ceramic tradition and his unique and contemporary interpretation of his experiences in South East Asia.
   
  UTOPIA Major Works August 17 - September 4
Since exhibiting the first paintings of Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Gloria Petyarre and Barbara Weir in 1989, and introducing the art works of the late, famous Minnie Pwerle with her first solo exhibition in 2000, Flinders Lane Gallery has been proudly representing the work of the many artists from Utopia. This exhibition puts the spotlight on some of the region’s fast rising new stars.
   
  CLAIRE BRIDGE September 7 - 25
Known for the richly sensuous realism of her figurative paintings, Bridge’s justifiable confidence with her knowledge of form is highlighted by gestural brushwork, theatrical lighting and a sense of intrigue. In 2009, Bridge won two Awards for the Stan and Maureen Duke Gold Coast Art Prize. Her entry into the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize, 2009, was used as promotion for the event.
   
  KEN SMITH September 7 - 25
This exhibition continues Smith’s previously established exploration of landscape around the Mornington Peninsula with an emphasis on light and colour, and concepts of time and duration in static pictorial images. The small scale of the paintings is an expression of an intimate response to place and a feeling for close observation and detailed analysis of a known but not completely understood environment.
   
  WILLIAM BREEN September 28 - October 16
Caught in a state of suspended animation there is a meditative stillness about these streets of Melbourne, deftly captured on canvas by Breen. A quietness devoid of human presence, a moment where dream and reality merge. In a turn away from this urbanity, Breen presents an accompanying landscape exhibition that captures the seductive quality of light and the tonality of landforms and skies of the Yarra Valley.
   
  MAMI YAMANAKA October 19 - November 6
Concerned with themes of contained memory, time and its healing effect, Yamanaka’s new works feature a series of small sculptural works alongside her distinctive and recognisable patterns. Utilising drawing and digital image techniques, these new works suggest the fragile nature of memories.
   
  GREER HONEYWILL October 19 - November 6
Secrets and Lies: We all conceal truths and the reasons for doing so are diverse. But sometimes a secret is such a burden that liberation comes only in sharing it with a stranger. In this intimate and responsive sound environment Honeywill plays with fiction and reality. Do you have a secret?
   
  EMMA WALKER November 9 - 27
Walker’s paintings and works on paper attempt to capture the atmosphere of a territory we fleetingly inhabit – the space between dreaming and wakefulness. Her practice consistently engages with the natural world, informed by a visual language built upon through extensive travel.
   
  DAN WOLLMERING November 9 - 27
This body of new sculptural works references idiosyncratic architectural structures in Malaysia where Wollmering spent time as an artist-in-residence during 2009. Cast in aluminium and bronze, and using the local flora as surface textures, these new sculptures aim to evoke notions of inhabitancy and enclosure.
   
  TREASURES November 30 - December 18
A broad selection of new original contemporary artworks by each of our award winning artists to celebrate the conclusion of another year of inspiring exhibitions.
