“Merge’ by CAROL BATCHELOR
Show Dates 13 – 28th April
Opening Reception: April 13th by Guest Speaker Dr. Robin Kingston
Carol Batchelor’s work has evolved with her newest exhibition Merge, continuing her lyrical abstraction to explore curiosities beyond the canvas. The hazy washes of colour that Batchelor produces are a result of her meticulous and methodical practice. Layers of paint are built up and sanded down, creating a balance of reciprocity in temporal space.
‘Fray’ by SARINA LIROSI
Show Dates 17 March to 9th April
Opening 23rd of March, 6-8pm
Sarina Lirosi is a Melbourne-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores the relationship between memory, loss, and desire. Using abandoned artificial flowers collected from the Melbourne Cemetery, Lirosi considers what happens after those who remember also pass. Lirosi says ‘There is a beauty in the fragile, patina of these flowers that for me reveals the story of time and possibly exposes the extent to which other’s memories of the deceased have also faded. For me, these flowers denote acts of remembering, life’s transience and the stories that bind us all.’

‘Duality’ by ELLA BAUDINET
Show Dates 23 February to 12 March
Opening 3rd of March, 6-8pm
Exploring duality, dichotomy, and opposition, Baudient’s work fixates fluidity on the canvas. Recognising the principle of polarity, the relationship between opposing forces is understood as integral in the creation of meaning. Baudient explores this further, investigating the symbiotic nature of duality. Her surreal paintings produce dreamlike symphonies; polarising forces entangle each other as Baudient reveals the dynamics of spirit and matter.

‘In the Garden’ by FRAN O’NEILL
Fran O’Neill’s contemporary, abstract and colourful oil paintings are inspired by the vast mixing of her experiences and life. Her practice explores how space can be open, compressed, complex, grand and intimate, sometimes all within the same image.
