RECENT PAST EXHIBITIONS


‘The River’

Australian Galleries Sydney

15 Roylston St. Paddington

12th Feb - 28th September 2024

Opening Thursday 12th Sept. 6-8pm

‘The River’ is a survey of the lower reaches of the Hawkesbury River. The work explores the varying landscapes of the area and the unique animal inhabitants that exist within them. Centrally, the exhibition is a personal homage and reflection on the area in which the artist lives.

The large charcoal works investigate various sites adjoining the river as a witness to the passing of time. From the ephemeral rhythms of waves and tides to the deep geological time embedded in the stones and rockfaces. The works are fractured and drawn in segments allowing the subjects to reflect back the timescales visited upon them.

The smaller ink pen and watercolour drawings aim to punctuate the larger charcoal works. Amongst the timeless landscapes are a mosaic of organisms all living independently yet connected in a complex fabric. Lifted from there complex surroundings they are extracted and displayed independently in their full glory.

‘The Miniature Show’

Jonathan Cooper Gallery

20 Park Walk, London, UK

28th November 2022 - 28th January 2023

Over the last year, our gallery artists have worked on an exhibition of miniature artworks that we wanted to launch just before Christmas, which would show their incredible talent and diversity. Some artists, such as Rosie Sanders who won the Royal Academy Miniature Award in 1985, were familiar with creating on a small scale. However, for many others, it has been a new challenge they have embraced with creativity and excitement.

The result is an exquisite collection of intricate artworks of remarkable quality.

Made on various mediums, each set of miniatures translates a unique universe that the artists have explored through a perfect mastery of their technique.

At the end of 2013 I was invited to travel to Greece with an archaeological survey team doing a study of the ancient site of Troizen in the Peloponnese. Working on location as an artist alongside archaeologists from Australia and Germany, I made studies of the site’s artefacts, history, excavation, and landscape. The body of work included many graphite and pen drawings as well as etchings. As well as the work completed in Troizen, the exhibition included drawings of other Athenian buildings and antiquities visited on the trip including many from the Parthenon. This exhibition is a small selection of works created on the 2013 trip.

‘To The Edges’ 60 Years of Sydney Printmakers

Manly Art Gallery & Museum

West Esplanade Reserve, Manly

25th June - 1st August 2021

Opening Friday 26th June 6-8pm (RSVP ESSENTIAL)

The unique theme of this exhibition finds the artists of Sydney Printmakers considering the use of the printmaking media in innovative and unconventional ways, working ‘to the edges’ physically and metaphorically to push their materials, ideas and themselves to their limits.

Sydney Printmakers is the longest-running independent printmaking membership organisation in Australia. It continues to demonstrate its currency in the quality and diversity of the work its artists create, and in the collegiate way its members work to share ideas and resources, and to support each other. As a group, it is thriving - and celebrates its sixty-year milestone with this especially curated exhibition.

‘Natural Selection’

Australian Galleries Melbourne

35 Derby St. Collingwood

6th - 25th July 2021

Opening Tuesday 6th July 6-8pm

Angus Fisher’s recent work further investigates ideas of how the ‘natural’ world exists in human imagination and our ever-growing efforts to contain and control it. Much of the work was conceived while he completed a residency at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris throughout early 2019, as well as work made later back in his studio in Australia. Fisher’s work poignantly reflects upon European traditions of collecting, collating and subjugating nature, observed throughout his visits to many grand museums of Natural History and various European gardens that continue long-held traditions of taming and placating the ‘natural’ world. Other work in this exhibition investigates Australian subject matter and the intersection of the ‘natural’ and ‘unnatural’ worlds.

This exhibition showcases sections of his recent Sydney solo show ‘Natural Order’ as well as some of his older works, particularly a selection of etching from his 2017 ‘Birds of New Holland’ Folio.

‘Natural Order’

Australian Galleries Sydney

15 Roylston St. Paddington

23rd Feb - 18th April 2021

Opening Tuesday 23rd Feb 6-8pm

Angus Fisher’s recent work further investigates ideas of how the ‘natural’ world exists in human imagination and our ever-growing efforts to contain and control it. Much of the work was conceived while he completed a residency at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris throughout early 2019, as well as work made later back in his studio in Australia. Fisher’s work poignantly reflects upon European traditions of collecting, collating and subjugating nature, observed throughout his visits to many grand museums of Natural History and various European gardens that continue long-held traditions of taming and placating the ‘natural’ world. Other work in this exhibition investigates Australian subject matter and the intersection of the ‘natural’ and ‘unnatural’ worlds.

The large drawings in the Unnatural Histories series illustrate particular historical and contemporary accounts of people’s interactions with nature. The sequence of poetic scenes are highly researched and imaginatively displayed in an aim to form a series of allegories for our often tragic and misguided entanglements with the ‘natural’ world.

Fisher has long been interested in the ancient art of falconry, and his series of drawings of this subject are informed by his experiences in France and Qatar throughout 2019. [Text Wrapping Break]“I’m particularly fascinated in the accompanying pageantry and the paraphernalia that has developed in different, independent cultures around the handling and training of the birds. The birds exist in a symbiotic relationship with their handlers in a state of semi-freedom. The falconers utilise the bird’s natural instincts but shelter them from the wider ‘natural’ world. The ‘tack’ - hoods, gloves, jesses etc. exist as a potent reflection of this relationship.”

Angus Fisher’s intricately detailed and vibrant drawings are testament to the breadth of the artist’s reverence for his subject matter and his deft technical skill across a variety of media and techniques.

‘Mono’

Australian Galleries Melbourne

28 Derby St. Collingwood VIC

9th March - 28th March 2021

MONO presents a curated selection of artworks which focus on the visual power of a restrained colour palette, the potency and immediacy of black and white. Through the sparing and at times deliberate use of limited colour, these works draw attention to tone and composition; to form, texture, mark making, and technique. Many of the works in this show focus on a single subject, or concept, which is echoed by the simplicity and strength of the monochromatic palette. Rich atmospheres are created through light and shade, balance, and texture, and as a result we engage directly with subjects, themes and symbolic meaning.This exhibition showcases an extensive selection of works on paper, complimented by key pieces from earlier eras by some of the most significant contemporary artists practicing today.

The constant challenge of translating the world that surrounds us into something visible and tangible is our obsession.
