New Landscapes

Garry Pumfrey : Ken Smith : Valerie Sparks: Emma Walker : Simeon Walker:

 
       
MARCH 17 - APRIL 4    
  An End to Myth
Deliberately referencing the practices of museology and natural science Buckmaster-Dove subverts these traditional frameworks to present a new reading of our country’s environmental beauty. Her paper sculptures appeal to our sense of gentle beauty and notions of wildlife neatly subdued.

Through her delicate treatment of fragile forms Buckmaster-Dove sensitively and gently unravels our preconceptions of natural beauty and asks us to see with fresh eyes the unique and precious life found in the Australian landscape.		  
       
APRIL 7 - MAY 2
    
 

Off the Plan
Greer Honeywill is an acclaimed artist whose career to date has addressed Australian social forms, with particular reference to the home and the material culture of the domestic. In Off the Plan, her gaze focuses sharply upon architecture: both as a utopic, aspirational paradigm for the home-maker; and as the site of a psychological archive of the self. These two aspects or modes of the architecture of the home, representing the public and the personal, could be described as the house-as-desire, and the home-as-imaginary.
(Excerpt from exhibition catalogue 'Greer Honeywill: Everyday Utopia' by Kit Wise)

  
       
MAY 5 - 23
    
  With a subdued palette of blues, greens and greys, and a lowering of dark skies and darkened valleys we are transported. (Breen's) landscapes take in a vista that is almost terrifying in ambition. This is the world of Caspar David Friedrich, the world of the sublime. Looking at these landscapes it is as though William Breen is inviting us to join him in a long, contemplative walk. This is a place where the soul can take a moment of respite. (Excerpt from exhibition catalogue 'Here & Now' by Ashley Crawford)

Breen has been selected as a finalist in the Doug Moran Portrait Prize two times. In 2001 he was a finalist in the Brett Whiteley Scholarship, the Redlands Westpac Art Award and the Conrad Jupiter Art Prize. Breen has been shortlisted for the prestigious Wynne Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Breen has also been a finalist in the Geelong Art Prize and a finalist in the Fleurieu Peninsula Biennale Art Prize.

JUNE 16 - JULY 18
NOW EXHIBITING		    
  Celebrating twenty years of exhibitions, Flinders Lane Gallery will curate a special selection of new artworks by our gallery artists.  
       
JULY 21 - AUGUST 15    
  Ryan spends months on each canvas, slowly building up the work’s own history to realise her concerns with depth, harmony, light, space and balance. The resulting works verge on photorealist, as majestic trees float in an ethereal, ambiguous fog.  
       
AUGUST 18 -
SEPTEMBER 5		    
  Walking in, looking at, and photographing the local environment is integral to Brooks’
painting process. In this respect she is a landscape painter. Graffiti continues to be a central concern, paying homage to the natural cycle of urban disintegration and renewal.
 
       
AUGUST 18 -
SEPTEMBER 5		    
  Combining his already recognizable use of glistening stainless steel and earthy basalt rock, this latest offering incorporates the use of industrial forms suggesting complex movement and dynamism.  
       
SEPTEMBER 8 - 26    
 

Simeon Walker’s paintings focus on isolated elements of the landscape. These elements have a profound effect on the human psyche. The stillness, beauty and microscopic granduer of his elevated subjects are on one level purely contemplative. On another level the trees, rock formations and atmospheric skies are concerned with forces of opposition: urban and rural, known and unknown, life and death.

  
       
SEPTEMBER 8 - 26    
  Best known for his rendering of West Australia’s burgeoning industrial sector and his
questioning of our current level of consumer consumption, Pumfrey will now turn his
attention to the streets and buildings of Melbourne.		  
       
SEPTEMBER 29 -
OCTOBER 17		    
  Delicately rendered, Ackland’s forms possess a quality of movement suggestive of the
ethereal. Floating, translucent and sheer, cast aside clothing suggest a connectedness
between the body and the void, the shroud or wrapping that houses the self.		  
       
SEPTEMBER 29 -
OCTOBER 17		    
  Once again aclaimed printmaker and watercolourist Juli Haas will delight audiences with her dreamlike renditions of lived experiences. Her rich colour and complex detail delight both the young and old.  
       
OCTOBER 20 -
NOVEMBER 7		    
  Images from found or personal photographs have become embedded in Marika Borlase’s memory. Manipulated, distorted and shifted the original sources become stripped of meaning in the attempt to create a new memory system.  
       
OCTOBER 20 -
NOVEMBER 7		    
  Melinda Schawel’s new works reveal telling observations of a tumultuous American climate of economic, religious and political uncertainty. As an American expatriate the United States represents for this artist a place both familiar and deeply foreign.  
       
NOVEMBER 10 - 28    
  There is a sense of joy and celebration in Maas’ work, her lines responding to the essence of a thing rather than to its implied meaning or value. Discarded everyday objects carry the same weight and value as a beloved horse or a seed pod. This will be Marise Maas’ sixth exhibition at Flinders Lane Gallery.  
       
DECEMBER 1 - 19    
  Gallery artists present new affordable works to celebrate the festive season.
