PREVIEW WEEKEND.

‘ALUMNI’
ERIN COATES - JACOBUS CAPONE - ELHAM-ESHRAGHIAN-HAAKANSSON - DAN McCABE - HOLLY YOSHIDA

ALUMNI celebrates the work of five gallery artists to coincide with the staging of the John Stringer Prize 10 Year Retrospective at John Curtin Gallery. Selected works by past prize winners Jacobus Capone (2016) and Erin Coates (2017), and previous finalists Dan McCabe (2017), Elham Eshraghian-Haakansson (2019) and Holly
Yoshida (2022) forms a group exhibition honouring recent trajectories of each artist’s practice.

This exhibition draws upon new works and past works. Just out of the studio of Holly Yoshida is a new painting ‘The Saitama House’. Yoshida is working on a series of paintings stemming from her visit to her father’s house in Japan in 2023,
prior to it being sold and demolished. Her pilgrimage has resulted in new familial insights that brings a personal dimension to this body of work in contrast to the intended voyeuristic detachment of former interior studies. On view for the first time in Perth are new sculptural objects in bronze, silicone and cowrie shells by Erin Coates and painting in organic infusions and in copper by Jacobus Capone. Dan McCabe is represented with a work from his most recent solo series ‘Art
as Asset’ in laser etched anodised aluminium along with earlier work in glass and steel from ‘The Post Leisure’ series. This particular ‘Post Leisure’ work was shown in Brisbane only and is on the wall for the first time in Perth. Elham Eshraghian-Haakansson presents the single channel video ‘Delara’, 2021, showing it too for the first time in the Gallery.

End of day shadow play.

Gallery architecture is momentarily reflected on the wall interacting with the architecture depicted in a new painting by HOLLY YOSHIDA. ‘The Saitama House’ just installed as a part of the selected exhibition’Alumni’.

YOSHIDA is working on a new series of paintings stemming from a visit to her father’s house in Japan in 2023, prior to it being sold and demolished. Her pilgrimage has resulted in new familial insights that bring a personal dimension to this body of work, in contrast to the intended voyeuristic detachment of former interior studies.

YOSHIDA is known for her studies in oil on wood panel conjured from contemporary subjects while honouring an interest in historical still life and interior painting conventions.

WEEKEND GALLERY VIEW

MARION BORGELT
‘Exploding Stars: Obsidian Skies No. 1’, 2018
oil and acrylic on canvas
200 x 160 cm

A commanding and satisfying composition of circles, rims, and spheres floating and radiant within a translucent and veiled ground. A palette that can’t be pinned down. Hues of blue, lilac, pink and silver shift in intensity depending upon location and light. The gold application adding the lustre and otherworldliness taking the geometrics and this painting into the realm of flux and cosmos.

ON VIEW IN THE GALLERY

PILAR MATA DUPONT
‘The Madman is a Dreamer Awake’, 2013-15
giclée print
83 x 123cm each (framed)
Edition of 5

Artist Note:

‘This photographic series, ‘The Madman is a Dreamer Awake’, takes its title from a quote of Sigmund Freud’s in ‘A Metaphysical Supplement to the Theory of Dreams’ (1917) where he alludes to Kant’s conception of the madman as a waking dreamer.

The images depict my visual interpretation of a dream Freud himself had while on holiday in Schönau in 1898, of ancient Roman ruins placed into alpine settings, reflecting his ‘neurotic’
longing for Rome – a place he only managed to visit in September, 1901.’

ARCHIVES - Friday Flashback

Images of a solo exhibition by MARITA FRASER, ‘(after) parts of a body house’ April-May 2019. A gentle though instrumental connectivity between fabric, structures and painting on linen filled the gallery space in such a delicate yet decisive way.

Fraser’s project paid tribute to the pioneering and influential American artist Carolee Schneeman.

Paintings in oil, fabric dye, graphite on Belgian linen by Fraser are in stock. Stock works always viewable by request.

The mesmerising elegance of LISA WOLFGRAMM’S abstraction. A work currently on view in the Gallery.

SUNDAY STOCKROOM

New into the Gallery and already shared with for their recent Bisque collection showing.

MOORE CONTEMPORARY is delighted to welcome a selection of paintings by LISA WOLFGRAMM to the Gallery. A longstanding and high level exponent of abstract painting, WOLFGRAMM has an exceptional catalogue of works from her enduring career.

Her commitment to painting is driven by her interest materiality and process. Her painting language stems from a heightened appreciation of minimalism and her interest in pattern, code, geometrical, movement and rhythm. In this image the work is from a series of dynamic and expressive works in oil on aluminium.

WOLFGRAMM relocated to Darwin in 2007 following many years as a lecturer in painting in Perth. She completed a Masters by Research in 2013 at Charles Darwin University.

EXHIBITED for the first time at SYDNEY CONTEMPORARY.

JACOBUS CAPONE
‘Spring 2023,’ 2023
bottlebrush stamens and saltwater infusion on calico
160 x 120cm

Each day of October 2023, fallen bottlebrush stamens were collected by the artist at dawn. Seawater at dusk. An infusion from the two sources was made each night to form a painterly was in honour of the street side landscape.

A specific paint for that day, sourced from a different tree, a different location. 31 washes were made in total and were applied individually on a daily basis to the stretched calico.

The result is this luminous painting predominantly in pink with the organic matter and modulated application adding subtle gradations and accents within the painted field.

Literally art of the day. Art made with nature.

LAST DAYS of the exhibition ‘Magic Hands’. Closing Saturday 14th September 2024.

Taking its title from a recent work by DAN McCABE, ‘Magic Hands’ pertinently and playfully embraces the value and symbolism of hands from unique contemporary perspectives. Traces of gesture, activity, artisanship and authorship are filtered throughout the selected works. Allusive references align with literal depictions providing a rich exhibition context that tracks through the comical to the reverent, the emotional to the detached.

With work by ABDUL ABDULLAH, MARION BORGELT, JACOBUS CAPONE, TOVE KJELLMARK, MATTHEW HUNT, JOSHUA WEBB, and IAN WILLIAMS.

Each artist has a distinctive and directional practice and their works selected for this showing are assembled under the thematic title ‘Nature Reserves’. In either subject or materialisation, the artists draw upon natural ecologies and heightened environmental experiences or concern. MATA DUPONT with Erika Roux brings a theatrical narrative to the subject while COATES and CAPONE embed their reverence and statements within the material presence of their work.

TOVE KJELLMARK
‘Simba’ 2022
PLA
7 x 18 x 17cm

Micro and magical is this precious sculpture whose iridescence and luminosity radiates an energy that belies the still life. In her ongoing quest to merge nature and technology, KJELLMARK breathes force into works of vast scale through to miniatures such ‘Simba’. Working across sculpture, drawing, photography, video and installation - and in multiple mediums - KJELLMARK’S art draws empathy and enquiry.

ON VIEW in ‘Magic Hands’

ABDUL ABDULLAH
‘Tomorrow’, 2019
oil on linen
120 x 120cm

In something of a satisfying contradiction, a painting that is brilliantly bold and confident for a study of turbulence. The tumultuous sea is overlaid with a fluidly rendered figurative outline that both fills and is compressed by the square limits of the paintings edge. ABDULLAH masterfully evokes an intensity that is both truly felt and mildly comical. An expression that is simultaneously personal, universal and societal.

Currently on view in the Gallery.

JACOBUS CAPONE
‘Untitled L # # ( Perdition & Prayer)’, 2020
copper leaf, volcanic ash, and glacial water on Japanese Mingeishi paper
117 x 84cm (framed)

The Perdition & Prayer paintings are, in process and in imagery, a type of lexicon of the artist’s practice - talismans of the artist’s experiential approach to making art. Produced in copper leaf, volcanic ash, and glacial water on Mingeishi paper, they are each an intimate and hand rendered offering. Symbols, energies and emotions filter through chosen elements and figurative expressions that in turn provide touchstones within our own experiences, memories or associations.

NEW WORK in the Gallery.
