Affective Atmospheres: In this show the artists each respond to the concept of Affective Atmospheres, a term first coined by cultural theorist Tom Anderson to represent the type of emotion that occurs between people, other living things, objects, ideas rather than inside the individual. These emotional relations, always fluid, emergent, challenge the binary between subjective and objective and in the end form an atmosphere that is called culture. Each of the 4 artists in this show are concerned with culture and emotion; culture in terms of their familial and aesthetic background, but also in capturing the affective atmosphere, as it moves, and moves the artist on the canvas. Our aim is for expressionism in momentary place, emotion in context, capturing the atmospheres around us. Sunday 13 October 12-2pm Apophenia will create improvised music to the works

Intersection 27 August - 3 September Opening Night 27 August 6-8pm Feat musician: @pinky.ring 'Intersection' is a vibrant, emotive and playful body of work consisting of cartoon-like drawings and abstract paintings, which distill the artist's fascination with the places where lives converge and diverge, with references to his home city of Sydney, his own experiences of situations, emotions and people in his surroundings. Through 'Intersection', Kyle invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences of connection and disconnection, exploring the ways in which our lives intersect with those around us, and the unexpected beauty that can emerge from these moments of convergence. Kyle Wilkinson is a 27-year-old Sydney-based artist whose vibrant, emotive yet playful works capture the essence of life's everyday moments and people. With a passion for storytelling, Kyle uses his art as a means to explore his own mental landscape and invite others to reflect on their own, while also incorporating humour and themes of popular culture as well as Australian culture. His bold, expressive brushstrokes, vivid colours and cartoon-like drawings evoke the turbulent nature of the human mind, while his wry humour injects a sense of resilience and hope. Through his art, Kyle invites viewers to join him on a journey of self-discovery, exploring the complexities of the human experience and the beauty that can be found in its messiness.

"The secret life of figurines..." Pleasance Ingle 13 - 25 August Opening Night: 13 August 6-8pm Artist Talk 17 August 12 Noon Guest Musician: Henry Manuell "At first, when I started to notice and muse about these porcelain figurines, what I saw was a rich kitsch of magnified feminine charm, trussed in corsets and crinolines, courted by visions of equally artificial male gallantry. "It wasn’t until I started painting the images and rediscovering the lyrics of Leonard Cohen, that the figurines began to reveal another kind of drama, their distorted shadows, their knowing gazes, their other stories." @pleasance_ingle read more: https://lnkd.in/gJdA-q2P
