Miik Green23 Feb - 20 Mar 2010Opening Saturday 27 February, 3 - 5 pm Sensuality and wonder are important elements of MIIK GREEN'S work. His sculptural reliefs consider mutability and transformation, simultaneously referencing the organic and the artificial. GREEN is concerned with creating optical links. He says his work "is basically about sensuality and space... Desire and consumerism come into play with the objects, too - the urge to touch and feel something that looks as appealing as each individual object." View exhibition | Exhibition catalogue |

Ingrid JohnstoneFour Seasons23 Mar - 24 Apr Opening Saturday 27 March, 3 - 5pm INGRID JOHNSTONE enjoys the physical act of painting on canvas, she charges her compositions with intuitive, sweeping brushstrokes that harness the expressive potential of pure colour. JOHNSTONE's work speaks of the beauty of textiles as much as of the joy of painting. Her imagery is fired by the Dogon tribes of Africa and the textiles of Peru, just as she has marvelled at the patience of the weavers labouring at the loom in Morocco, the cloth of India, Burma and the Ibans of Sarawak. Tonality and movement imply veils of cloth, and like drapery the surfaces of her paintings both reveal and conceal. |

A superb colourist and consummate draughtsman, JANET DAWSON has had a long career as one of Australias most influential artists. MERRICK FRY is an artist of great inventiveness and his recent sculptures allow the viewer to peer into worlds of fantasy and magical realism. |
