Good work Meggs.

Thank you AM for the shots.

The last 2 months I have been secretly working away on a collection of paintings. Im now to proud to announce my next solo exhibition at 19Karen Gallery in the Goldcoast.
My collection is called “Outside Infinity”

The exhibition opening is 31st of July. 6-8pm

19Karen Gallery
19 Karen Ave, Mermaid Beach Queensland

Artist Statement.

I have always been intrigued with the Buddhist belief of reincarnation and the continuation of your soul in another lifetime. The concept behind ‘Outside Infinity’ explores the notion of the infinite abyss known as the universe, contrasted with the fragility of our life. In the fabric of time, our existence would be compared to a speck of dust. Not even. My core focus is to portray the journey of the conscious human life and the subconscious connection with elements such as fate, time, the dream-world and reality. I like the idea that your soul could actually be made up of many different lives that connected throughout the ages. The dream world could be your existence in a parallel universe, and vice versa. Although this exhibition is a personal journey of my core beliefs, I have intentionally left doors wide open for the viewer’s interpretation and personal reflection on their own life. Does everything happen for a reason? How long does forever last for? How many lifetimes have I seen? Was I at the beginning? I think so. We all were.

Opening Night Thursday 17 June, 6:30pm – 8:30pm

Following the success of her debut solo exhibition Where the Dry Leaves Fall at Gorker Gallery in 2008, Leah Bartholomew presents her new body of work These are the Days in her second solo exhibition.

These are the Days is an intimate exploration of the small, special moments that binds us together in friendship and create a sense of place. The prints, collages and paper sculptures delicately handcrafted by Bartholomew tell the story of a protracted coming of age, anchored in the landscapes of both experience and imagination.

From poetic scenes such as the group of friends lazing in a sun-drenched field, to the bonding of the shared beer in city back streets, to the quiet moment of solitude amongst prismatic trees, these works honour the events and emotions that can seem almost insignificant at the time, but go on to become important memories and dreams. They convey a similar feeling to that of discovering the smell of bonfire smoke on a pair of jeans that you haven’t worn for weeks.

Nostalgic. Ethereal. Personal. Precious.

Exhibition runs until Sunday 27 June
Gorker Gallery – Cnr Gore & Kerr Street Fitzroy
Opening hours:
3pm – 7pm Wednesday – Friday
11am – 7pm Saturday & Sunday
Wine Tasting Wednesday 23 June, 6pm – 7pm
