11.00am | Sunday, 9thJune 2019
Holmes à Court Gallery @ Vasse Felix
This exhibition considers the affects of colour, design, pattern and shape through works of geometric abstraction. It takes part in a conversation about an ongoing artistic concern with Minimalist and Concrete Art in the new millennium. It playfully suggests an expansion of the genre of Concrete Art that had a local explosion on the streets of Fremantle in the early 2000’s.
In Concrete E X P A N D E D large-scale, hard edged, minimal, abstract and pure colour paintings are joined by three-dimensional wall-works, actual concrete sculpture, light sculptures and ephemeral light works. Together these works coalesce and converse in philosophical questions of form, aesthetic experience and existence.
Included are works from the Janet Holmes à Court collection, works from the Murdoch Collection, works from the Art Collective and local and interstate practicing artists, with some works available for purchase.
FEATURED ARTISTS: Rebecca Baumann, Consuelo Cavaniglia, Janenne Eaton, Robert Hunter, Brian McKay, Trevor Richards, Douglas Sheerer, Helen Smith, Trevor Vickers, Josh Webb.
