CURRENT:
Parallel Currents, Elisa Jane Carmichael and Teho Ropeyarn, March 11 - 23 April 2022.

In her new works, Nicola Scott explores Holography

In her new works, Nicola Scott explores Holography, a three-dimensional illusionary technique that records the liquidity and reflective ability of layered light waves and colour, onto a 2D picture plane. The curious, multilayered textures contained in each work suggest traces of plastic, brushes, alternating opacity and gesture. Due to the depth created by interlocking and overlaying shapes and hues, each work implies an impossible depth, forms appear to hang in non-existent space.

"Viewing Scott’s paintings is a thoroughly embodied affair, coaxing us out of language and thinking, back to bare sensation." —Julia Scott Green

For the first iteration of Collector Focus, we had

For the first iteration of Collector Focus, we had the pleasure of chatting to Cathy Boman, a long-standing and valued Onespace Gallery collector. As a committed collector of First Nations artworks, Boman’s purchase of To carry through #2 by Elisa Jane Carmichael is a wonderful continuation of her passion.

Boman states:
The more time you spend with the art brought into your home, the more you see, feel, understand or question… patterns do start to emerge, and every piece of work speaks.

Read more via the link in our bio about Boman’s background, ethos toward art, collecting and her ever appreciating value of her new artwork.

In response to Katsugi (Dive) by Aiko Ohno and Zoe

In response to Katsugi (Dive) by Aiko Ohno and Zoe Porter, emerging writer, editor, and historian Zoe Devenport published review on the show through Garland Magazine.

Devenport writes... 'The exhibition sits neatly in Onespace Gallery, framed by specially commissioned mural installations by Porter that extend the marine tableau across walls and twist tentacles up beams. To the immediate left are the most collaborative works of the show, prints of Ohno’s photos that have been painted, marked, and stitched by Porter. The artists’ individual work leads to an installation of Ohno’s own wetsuit, as well as one made in felt by Porter, stitched and suspended under a fishing net at the rear of the space. Ohno’s framed photos show her diving into kelp forests and tangling with an octopus, alone underwater in a blue-toned world at once lonely and brimming with life. Porter’s glowing watercolours, variously sized unframed vignettes and art books, feature the ama in fantastical scenes of work and rest.'

Jarah, 2021 by Elisa Jane Carmichael is one of the

Jarah, 2021 by Elisa Jane Carmichael is one of the many beautiful works included in our current exhibition Parallel Currents which includes the work of both Elisa Jane Carmichael and Teho Ropeyarn.

Essay catalogue writer Louise Martin-Chew describes the work: 'Jarah (uses) Ungaire (freshwater swamp reed) as their foundation. This reed is prevalent in Carmichael’s saltwater Country on Minjerribah. In a poetic reflection of her use of its fibres and their resilience, she describes its ability to “weave through its own ecosystem”. Other materials that are bound into these works include shells, sea ropes (harvested from the beach where they wash up as by-products of commercial fishing), and fish scales from the artist’s own table.'

Parallel Currents by Elisa Jane Carmichael and Teho Ropeyarn is on exhibition from March 11 - 23 April 2022.

For all exhibition enquiries please contact alicia@onespacegallery.com.au

To celebrate the launch of Tamika Grant-Iramu's In

To celebrate the launch of Tamika Grant-Iramu's Interior Landscape series for Designer Rugs Australia, 2022 we have released a suite of limited edition prints which inspired the collection.

1) 'Interior Landscape: complex ecologies' reflects the diverse sub-tropical plant life that is seen in various botanical gardens across inner-city Meanjin/Brisbane.

2)'Interior Landscape: native resonances' depicts the Eucalyptus in its design, highlighting an iconic tree that resonates throughout the Australian landscape.

3)'Interior Landscape: changing seasons' celebrates the Jacaranda and Royal Poinciana trees. These trees, with contrasting coloured flowers, blanket Brisbane city in blooms of purple and red during the spring/early summer.

4)'Interior Landscape: propagation' describes the variety of flora found within the inner-city botanical gardens of Meanjin/Brisbane. Tamika uses repeated lines to create a design that allows one plant (one story) to finish as another plant begins its new story.

For all artwork enquiries please contact alicia@onespacegallery.com.au.

Artworks (in order): Interior Landscape: complex ecologies, 2021, Interior Landscape: native resonances, 2021, Interior Landscape: changing seasons, 2021, Interior Landscape: propagation, 2021.

We would like to thank the team over at Artist Pro

Onespace is very excited to congratulate Designer

Onespace is very excited to congratulate Designer Rugs and our represented artist, Tamika Grant-Iramu, on the launch of their collaborative suite of custom-designed rugs – Interior Landscape series.

To celebrate the launch, we are releasing a suite of limited edition prints which inspired the collection. Please visit onespacegallery.com.au or visit the link in our bio to enquire.

With four designs – Complex Ecologies, Changing Seasons, Native Resonances and Propagation – Tamika’s collection of rugs becomes one organic body of work, following her journey through native and introduced plant life from both botanical gardens and the natural ecologies of Meanjin/Brisbane.

Tamika’s practice is inspired by her immediate environment. She focuses on minute areas of native flora and from these observations, she creates a diverse range of organic patterns and forms. The relationship she has with the process of lino carving, corresponds to the strength and fluidity of her natural environment, and the constant randomness that arises from the directions in which she carves allows newly discovered forms to grow.

The rug, often placed in a domestic or commercial setting, becomes the celebratory heart of a gathering. Many people are emotionally fulfilled when viewing or being present in natural environments. By incorporating a wide range of organic patterns and imagery, Tamika’s artwork aims to connect with a broad range of people through this relatable connection to nature.

It is our pleasure to announce that 'Athumu Paypa

It is our pleasure to announce that 'Athumu Paypa Adthinhuunamu (my birth certificate)', 2022 and 'Ayarra', 2021 by Injinoo artist Teho Ropeyarn is now on display at The National Art School.

In his artist statement Ropeyarn states:
'Injinoo (and all Aboriginal) people are at one with the land, sea and sky. We traverse the physical, the natural and the spiritual realms. My work for the biennale is a visual depiction of this philosophy - explaining how the land becomes the human, the human becomes the animal, the animal becomes the land, the land becomes the spirit, and the spirit becomes a device linking these elements. The land will only listen to its people.

Aboriginal connection to country is not just belonging. It is a spiritually magnetic system that connects to all other human and natural elements. You cannot remove the people from the land, which finds its way. The land will flourish when the system is reconnected, and Aboriginal people defend this system.'

Injinoo artist Teho Ropeyarn’s print installatio

Injinoo artist Teho Ropeyarn’s print installation for the 23rd Biennale of Sydney was also the result of a close collaboration with the master printmaker, David Jones. David owns and operates Corvine Art Studio in Brisbane, printing works for a number of artists. Teho and David first started working together to produce Teho’s series of prints curated into Tarnanthi 2021 at the Art Gallery of South Australia. David is a specialist in large scale vinyl prints and has provided the skills and expertise needed to realise Teho’s ‘Athumu Paypa Adthinhuunamu (my birth certificate) installation, which comprises six prints, each 120cm x 350cm.

We offer our sincere thanks to David Jones for his hard work and dedication in assisting the realisation and delivery of these remarkable artworks, especially so in the face of Corvine Art Studio being greatly impacted by the recent Brisbane floods. David’s support to both Teho and Onespace has been invaluable. By way of background, we note that, David Jones is of Dalungdalee or Dalungbarra First Nations and Anglo-European Australian heritage. David says that since his first contact with the printmaking medium, he has been captivated by the multitude of ways one can arrive at a print. David has recently completed his Doctorate at the Queensland College of Art, Brisbane.
