TRANSFERENCE:
Opens 6pm Friday 30th June.

Exhibition runs: 29 June – 3 September 2023 at the Castlemaine Art Museum.

Transference results from the touch of two surfaces that each leave their respective traces.

Castlemaine-based artists, Justin Andrews, Michael Graeve, Melinda Harper and Clayton Tremlett, create new works that experiment with varying methodologies of transference.

Each artist explores the process of transferring colour, shape, gesture and texture – allowing for improvisation, chance and complexities in surface and pattern.

Listen to the Artist discuss the history and development of IMMORTALS. Talks are scheduled for Sunday, 8th of May, 10th June and 11th of July. They begin at 11.30 am in the exhibition at the Soldiers Memorial Institiute and Military Museum, Pall Mall, Bendigo.

IMMORTALS, my most recent research project and print series has been launched at the Soldiers Memorial Institute and Military Museum in Bendigo. The exhibition has received widespread media coverage and commentary. Click on the invite for exhibition dates and artist talks and the e-verison of the brochure for a summary of the research.

I am pleased to announce Study for Self Portrait as the corpse of Mad Dog Morgan (above) has recently been acquired for the Wangaratta Art Gallery collection. This infamous Bushranger has links to Wangaratta, as do I, as it was my hometown for most of my adolescence and where my interest in bushrangers began. Beard and Influence the exhibition, was a great success, with lots of fun had by all who participated in the Beard Bonanza.

Snap taken at the launch of the Romancing the Skull exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ballarat. This landmark exhibition runs til January 28th 2018. I highly recommend seeing the show not only because i have a work in it (pictured) but mostly because of the diversity of skull related imagery from a number of highly respected artists both national and international.

Look for my laser resist etching in the soon to be released Romancing the Skull Catalogue.

I am very pleased to announce i will be represented in Melbourne by the prestigious printmaking gallery Port Jackson Press. Launching this Friday the 6th and running till Wednesday the 25th October, you can view a selection of works from the Beard and Influence series as part of the In Contrast curators exhibition.
