Sandra McMahon
Sandra McMahon is interested in the subtle beauty that emerges from the interaction between colour, form, and space.

Colour, shape, pattern, repetition, harmony, discord, balance and texture are fundamental elements. Removing an object or subject from the work allows these elements to be the primary reason for creating. The work then becomes a mind game of problem solving.

McMahon adopts the less is more approach in her work by applying restraint and maintaining clarity and order, avoiding what is not necessary. Eliminating what doesn’t matter to leave room for what does. Creating minimalist beauty to captivate, and appreciate the nuanced colour, texture and detail in each of the works

Now on View | Gallery 3: Tracy Potts – Seventh Daypotts

This collection of work was created during a disciplined effort by the Tracy the Artist to understand the Old Testament.

It didn’t work out.

Though a somewhat entertaining read it’s quite lengthy.

So Tracy the Artist had to once again revert to being totally ridiculous, frivolous and unserious to amuse herself whilst seriously stitching.

The result of her short perilous journey into the great unknowable, incomprehensible and downright nonsensical has resulted in the construction of fantastical creatures based both a true story and a fictitious one i.e. Darwin vs. God (any god will do)

Rachel Tai

Tai is a Melbourne based artist whose oil paintings begin with collage. For Tai, the collage is not simply a preparatory stage, but a way of discovering and testing composition. Hundreds of collages may be made before a single painting begins, allowing different arrangements of colour, shape and space to emerge. The paintings are selected from those compositions that strike a particular balance between harmony and disruption, or that contain an element that creates a compelling desire to paint.

In this recent body of work, Tai has begun to challenge that instinct to continually move on to the next composition. Rather than abandoning the shapes and colours of one collage once a painting is complete, they have returned to these elements across multiple works, exploring how they can behave differently within changing compositions.

This process has shifted the focus from the immediate appeal of a shape or colour towards a deeper investigation of its possibilities. By revisiting familiar forms and colours, Tai considers how their weight and visual relationships change from one composition to another. The paintings become a way of extending the life of an idea, allowing seemingly simple elements to reveal new possibilities through repetition, variation and reconsideration, mirroring the collage process.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Born in Naarm/Melbourne, Tai developed a love of oil painting in high school inspired by the work and guidance of Natasha Bienek. Tai went on to graduate from the Victorian College of the Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting) in 2015. Since then, Tai has exhibited across Melbourne, including mounting solo exhibitions and being shortlisted for various prizes across Australia.

Connie Wong

Silent Ground is an exploration where colour, space, atmosphere, and body movement collide.

Observing the enduring capacity in adaptation and renewal of the nature, and drawing from memories, poetry and music, Silent Ground reflects my ongoing investigation into how creating non-figurative body of work enables the emotional and visual understanding of the world around us. Through embracing expressive mark making and action painting with vibrant colour, my brushstrokes dance with the unpredictable rhythm of intuition on canvas, which acts as an arena where emotional energy is released.

In honour of National Carers Week, Silent Ground is a celebration of creative renewal and a tribute to the resilience of unpaid carers in our communities. This isn’t a showcase of silence but is an invitation to viewers into a space where vulnerability becomes strength and the inner self is given room to breathe. I hope my work can resonate with viewers to care about nature and the people next to us.
