24.01.2022 META EXHIBITION SELECTIONS #2 Congratulations to Sean Cameron, YEAR 12 GATE VISUAL ARTS for his successful selection in META 2020 Gallery Central. Sean's work is an amazing pencil drawing and is on display until Saturday 22 August. See this link for online catalogue and gallery details. https://www.instagram.com/metagallerycentral/ 'Oh To Be Opened' Sean Cameron... Graphite on paper Through my piece, I wished to discuss my experience of being gay and the fears of coming out. The term ‘oh to be opened’ largely representing the idea of releasing all my pent up fears and emotions and showing myself for who I really am. I constructed myself to appear somewhat ‘mutated’ through the placement of eyes on my face to discuss how unnatural and ‘out of the ordinary’ I used to feel due to my sexuality. I used graphite pencils to reference my past work as a lot of my fears of coming out surrounded been seen different by my peers or my family; thus, I wished to demonstrate how I am the same person as before. Through biblical references such as the halo, as well as my hand placement, I am able to discuss the period of my life in which I first saw a difference between myself and the other people around me and my somewhat religious background. Although my religious peers have never openly criticised me, the harmful ideologies particular religions can promote surrounding the LGBT+ community had left a stain on myself and my identity. However, I’ve become proud of who I am - an idea I aimed to promote through this piece.https://www.instagram.com/metagallerycentral/ See more

20.01.2022 META EXHIBITION SELECTIONS #3 Congratulations to Jess Abreu, YEAR 11 GATE VISUAL ARTS for her successful selection in META 2020 Gallery Central. Jess's work is a video installation and is on display until Saturday 22 August. See this link for online catalogue and gallery details. https://www.instagram.com/metagallerycentral/ 'More Than Comfort' Jessica Abreu... Digital Animation with elements of charcoal, photography, and watercolour This animation that was largely made through Adobe Photoshop. The animation shows a character walking through rooms, all drawn with different mediums while she’s strictly drawn digitally. I used digital art, charcoal, photography, and watercolours to create each unique setting and combine them. The main idea I wanted to convey was stepping out of comfort. I aimed to take the audience on a journey with a character who starts in a place of comfort, catches a glimpse of something more and pushes through uncertainty to get there. Jess's work can be viewed at this link and is also on view in our A Block gallery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By97oHo0smo See more

09.01.2022 META EXHIBITION SELECTIONS #1 Congratulations to Louise Lim, YEAR 11 GATE VISUAL ARTS for her successful selection in META 2020 Gallery Central. Louise's work is a series and is on display until Saturday 22 August. See this link for online catalogue and gallery details. https://www.instagram.com/metagallerycentral/ "Where Do I Belong?" Louise Lim ... photography and digital illustration My work is a series of portraits intend to show the inner-conflict between the two ‘personalities’ of young Asian-Australian’s heritage and western culture. Influenced by prints of emperors and empresses from different Chinese dynasties and eras, the history and aesthetic of these prints merges with modern portraits through photography representing the conflict between two alter egos. Japonisme inspired the vivid colour and flat imagery. I incorporated symbolic objects from Chinese emperors and empresses such as ornate robes and detailed head-dresses to establish Asian-Australian connections and the traditional ‘Asian’ customs and standards Asian-Australians face in westernised society as they try to stay connected with their roots, but also explore themselves.
