Transcendence

A selection of my homo-insecta watercolours, including Chrysochroa buqueti Beetle Woman, 41.91 x 29.72 cm (pictured top), have been earmarked by guest curator Paul Compton for inclusion in the upcoming exhibition Transcendence at PG Gallery. 

Transcendence brings together a variety of artistic practices through works that explore transformation, perception, and experience. Through printmaking, painting and ceramics, this exhibition explores states of bodily, emotional and spiritual transcendence. In these moments, the boundaries between the physical and intangible, the self and the other, begin to shift. Bringing together both contemporary and historical works, the exhibition considers transcendence as an act of becoming, release, connection and passage beyond the familiar. 

Artists: Charles Blackman, Arthur Boyd, Paul Compton, Phil Day, Hyun ju Kim, Shane Jones, Deborah Klein, Nic Megchelse, Jim Pavlidis, Irene Torres, Jordan Wood, Akio Yamao, Kylie Blackley, Priscilla Ambrosini, Elizabeth Hickey.

Opening night: November 26, 5.30-7.30pm
