A fabulous time lapse of artist Fintan Magee creating his recent ‘Potplant Series.’ 🌱

Works from this poignant series are still available via our website or by contacting the gallery on info@onespacegallery.com.au —————————————————————— Repost from @fintan_magee : ‘Colouring with @selinamiles’

We are delighted that work by represented artists

We are delighted that work by represented artists Sonja Carmichael and Elisa Jane Carmichael has been featured on the front and back covers of Art Guide Australia’s May/June 2020 issue. ⠀⠀
Jalo Boma (After the Burn) Tears from the Sea, 2019 (front cover) is a mother and daughter collaborative piece, which speaks of the artists’ interconnected techniques and intergenerational continuity. Through the combination of traditional fibres (ungaire) and reclaimed ghost net materials, the artists are fusing past, present and future. Writing about this work in 2019, Sally Butler suggests:⠀ ⠀⠀
⠀
‘Jalo Boma (After the Burn) Tears from the Sea, 2019, is a woven sculpture combining ungaire (water reeds) used in traditional weaving along with the ‘ghostnet’ fibres, which are retrieved marine debris fishing line that pollute Minjerribah’s coastal waters. The merging of these two fibres symbolises weaving practices as nurturing and healing. Connecting both kinds of fibres is an expression of caring for country and maintaining links with inherited responsibilities for the wellbeing of people and place. The sculpture’s two pieces merge through the cascading iridescent red emperor fish scales that suggest the dynamic sparkle of life in Quandamooka saltwater country.’ ⠀⠀

‘These works have been created in my studio during the Covid lockdowns. My inability to work with models or organise photoshoots during this period forced me to experiment with different subject matter. I came up with the concept of painting the same two potplants everyday for the entirety of the lockdowns. With each piece representing a day in isolation. My work is about story telling and my plan is create a narrative around me keeping these plants alive during isolation. Each work has also become like a meditation, the repetition of image and subject matter has allowed me to step away from building a concept for each piece and focus purely on the act of painting. This process means that each work becomes a 5-7 hour meditation. Helping my mental health during isolation while allowing me to tell a story of the human condition during the mundane reality of quarantine.’⠀

⠀
Onespace gallery is proud to present one of our most recently represented artists, Dan Elborne. Through Recent Works, Elborne highlights his unique practice and exceptional use of the ceramic medium. Conscious of the historical and metaphorical potency of ceramics, Elborne utilises the inherent transformational capability of his chosen material to address sensitive topics and instances of profound personal resonance and affect.⠀
⠀
Elborne elaborates on his practice, “I hope my work speaks of the delicate nature of life, alongside concepts of resilience and legacy, while also continuing an ongoing investigation of visually representing commemorative practices, reverence, preservation and memory.”⠀

FROM THE ONESPACE STOCKROOM we have Sebastian Di M

FROM THE ONESPACE STOCKROOM we have Sebastian Di Mauro’s ‘Cirrus I’ from our past exhibition ‘Public Aspirations: small sculptures/big ideas.’⠀
⠀
‘I have created a potential public artwork titled Cirrus. The abstract organic form alludes to an animal or plant or both. A hybrid form that has been dug up from the earth or deposited by a flood or a rising tide. The artwork consists of two identical forms ‘Entwined’. They are cast from the same pattern.’ – Sebastian Di Mauro ⠀
⠀
————————————————
The exploration of the sculptural potential of the everyday is key to Di Mauro’s practice. Di Mauro’s ongoing interest in alchemical associations and properties of various metals, finds a new form in his most recent series, the Cirrus Suite. These aluminum forms are the offspring of a marriage between Di Mauro’s well-known Astroturf sculptures and large aluminum works for the public domain. Simultaneously plant, grub and animal-like, works in the Cirrus Suite also exude an industrial flavour with their high-gloss, chameleon finish seemingly borrowed from auto plant workshops. Like many of Di Mauro’s sculptures, these new works are ambiguous forms with myriad associations that encourage the viewer to consider evolution, the environment, and the relationship between humankind and nature.⠀

‘Fragments: A Virtual Environment’ by Tamika Grant-Irama, 8 May - 6 June 2020 ⠀
⠀
Live Interview with Bec Mac TONIGHT on the Popsart Facebook Page .
⠀
Onespace is very proud to present its first ever solo show by represented artist, Tamika Grant-Iramu. This marks another significant milestone in her already impressive career, which has seen her receive an individual grant from the Australia Council for the Arts, collect a Westpac Emerging Arts Award at CIAF 2019, and be acquired by both prestigious institutions such as Griffith University Art Museum and by major private interstate collectors.⠀
⠀
Gallery Director, John Stafford said “this online exhibition, was an innovative and important partnership opportunity, seized by both Onespace Gallery and the Redland Art Gallery, due to the postponement of Tamika’s scheduled Redland exhibition as a result of the restrictions brought in by government to manage the COVID-19 pandemic”.⠀
⠀
“Tamika has worked so hard bringing this body of vinyl-cuts together for Redland, it seemed such a shame to wait for another year to experience them”. “We were delighted that Redland were eager to partner with us in generating a selected online preview in 2020.”⠀
⠀
“We sincerely congratulate director Emma Bain and her team in being so responsive in enabling Onespace to deliver this preview in an online platform prior to the entire show being physically experienced at Redland Art Gallery next year”.⠀

For those of you who didn’t have a chance to see

For those of you who didn’t have a chance to see Jo Lankester’s stunning exhibition ‘Mind’s Eye: Mapping the Landscape’ in our physical space, feast your eyes on this small selection of her most recent prints. ⠀
⠀
Lankester has been practicing for nearly 30 years. This recent body of work, her first solo exhibition in Brisbane, explores the subject of landscape in equal parts, as a representation of the real or the observed world, and as an internal site.⠀
Lankester employs a range of techniques including intaglio and relief combined with collage and hand stitching to create a suite of unique state prints. The imagery depicted in these prints is created from memories associated with the physicality of experiencing the landscape. It tells stories of the journey, both in the landscape and through the act of printmaking in the studio.⠀
⠀
To see more of Jo’s available artworks, make sure to scroll her online catalogue via our website (in description box). ⠀
