25.01.2022 Monique Lacey is having a physical show - yes- opening today. We send Monique and Scott the very best wishes. We're having a drink with you from Melbourne.

24.01.2022 ROSE MOXHAM Introducing a new artist to our Melbourne audience Rose Moxham depicts the solitude and contemplative life around the mangrove where she lives. These sculptural oil on silk voile paintings have a tactile quality and need to be experienced in order to feel the energy in their presence. Note that all sides form part of the artwork, even the back reserves a little surprise. We’re so happy to bring this new artist to you through our group show Layers of Time. Visit... our website to purchase online via credit card. Here are some of the artist thoughts. Every time I think of time, of what it is, it rolls around, marches on, does a backflip, spirals, an acrobat. It is illusory, yet leaves its marks. It is made up of memories... put it in a bowl and see what floats to the top. Whether or not I was thinking of time when making these pieces is irrelevant time made them. They are hopeful pieces. My thought was to truncate the triangle, leaving only an implied vanishing point. Then to invert it, so that the implied vanishing point might become an implied point of origin. A flash of mangrove swamp that expands as it rises. @rosemoxham #rosemoxham #oilpaintings #sculptures #collectors #westendartspace #layersoftime #voile #silk

20.01.2022 CLIFF BURTT Rotational Model In our online show Layers of Time, artists create in lockdown Melbourne and express their thoughts on time lost or altered.... @burttcliff1 According to my P.O.D.* : time (noun)- the successive states of the universe regarded as a whole whose every part or moment is before or after every other & position of which is defined in answer to the question 'when?' We seem at present to be in stasis, Zeno's arrow suspended mid flight. We grasp by analogies; none, with Time, come close to adequacy, save perhaps the fierce personification of the ancients: Cronus Cliff Burtt *Pocket Oxford Dictionary, fifth edition, 1970 Rotational Model 2020 steel, brass 69x29x29cm You can collect this sculpture via ArtMoney with ten easy monthly instalments @artmoney_au Link in Bio via our website. #cliffburtt #australiansculptor #westendartspace #artincovid19 #collectableart

18.01.2022 SARINA LIROSI Cupio 30 cm diameter X 4 $450 each... Nature can be extraordinarily beautiful and terrifying at the same time. It can be alluring but can also make us apprehensive, anxious and feel vulnerable. Since 2017 I have been photographing trees, lured by their dark gothic beauty, the visual distortions and the chiaroscuro created by the rain. I have always felt a love and respect for large old trees. Firmly rooted in the earth, large trees have a presence and stability that is comforting in times of human flux and unrest. Photographing and drawing these trees has enabled me to ponder their beautiful and haunting nature, thus creating a kind of enigmatic feel that has also led me along an existential path contemplating our place and purpose on this planet. These four pieces are the beginning of a new series of works on paper using mixed media: a combination of photography, paint and pencil drawing on handmade paper. #layersoftime #sarinalirosi #cupio #want #groupshow #westendartspace #artincovid19 See more

15.01.2022 MONIQUE LACEY The Strong and Silent Type Current show at West End Art Space online, link in bio.... Artist Monique Lacey is fascinated by the transformation and elevation of the ordinariness of the humble cardboard box. The initial building up of each form is countered by acts of crushing the multilayered cardboard boxes, which results in their forms being both damaged and substantially reconfigured. In the act of crushing the artist utilises her body weight, and it might be variously read as playful, aggressive, cathartic or darkly humorous. This is the second solo show in Australia by the NZ-based artist. Monique Lacey's star keeps rising and we're proud to be part of her story. Her work is performative, luxurious, often accompanied by a sense of satire and it's shown and collected in Europe, USA and Australia and of course in her hometown Auckland.

15.01.2022 PAMELA RATAJ Traces A series of photographs that form part of our group show‘Layers of Time’ online only due to harsh continuous lockdowns in Melbourne. Link in bio.... In the artists words... "The time is out of joint." (it's a line from Hamlet) It's as though we are floating in a bubble of disconnected time, cut adrift from our day to day realities, and hoping a destination will appear...

15.01.2022 PAUL BISHOP The Tiny Share We Have of Time Appalls Me mixed media collage on newsprint 12x15cm This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near.... I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go. Theodore Roethke, The Waking 1953. Art making happens over time. It inherently has duration, and each artist’s duration, their productive rhythm, is different. There are extremes of this, from plein air painters trying to capture fleeting light, through to Howard Hodgkin periodically considering a painting over literally years before acting quickly and decisively, like Kabuki theatre. My collage process has its own middle ground duration. Marked, painted and stained paper scraps lie on the floor, shuffled and cross-referenced into novel configurations. This happens daily, sometimes over extended periods, as I look for associations that surprise me and hopefully the viewer. There are long periods of (seemingly) no action just looking, and considering ... and then across a number of days just everything seems ... right. As this picture making proceeds, other sorts of parallel associations music lyrics, books I’m reading, politics I’m worrying over all come into play. Like many of us in these restricted times, I’ve increasingly ‘come in on myself’, with mixed results. I’ve grown more flexible and better trust my productive instincts. In other regards (he said contently) I’m as dumb as ever. @paulbishop_hungfatgardens To find out about the artist, educator and writer or to purchase Paul’s artworks please visit our website, follow his account and visit his brand new website at www.paulbishop.wixsite.com/website #paulbishop #wordsmith #contemporaryartist #collage #layersoftime #groupshow #westendartists #artincovid19 See more
