'Dark Contrasts' at Town Hall Gallery

Town Hall Gallery warmly invites you to celebrate the launch of

Dark Contrasts
Saturday 8 July 2 to 4pm

Featuring artists: Paul Compton, Kate Derum, Mathew Greentree, Damon Kowarsky,  David Rosetzky,  Jacqui Stockdale, and Irene Wellm.

Dark Contrasts explores the principles of collage in new and exciting ways. From artists who collaboratively ‘collage’ their work to others who use collage as a form of image making for other works – Dark Contrasts shows a breadth of where collage can go.

Visitors will see textiles, photography and printmaking along with more traditional forms of cut and paste paper collage. An often overlooked creative practice, this exhibition will celebrate the ways artists are using collage now.

RSVP acceptances to townhallgallery@boroondara.vic.gov.au before 1 July.

Walk and Talk

Join us for a free tour of Dark Contrasts. Led by the curatorial team, these tours are a fantastic way to hear from the artists and gain a deeper understanding of the exhibition.

'Les Contemplations' at Odd One Out Gallery

ODD ONE OUT is pleased to present

Les Contemplations
Prints and drawings inspired by France

Starting as sketches while undertaking a residency in the historical French village of Léhon as part of a 2016 Maryland Institute College of Art Alfred and Trafford Klots International Program for Artists, Les Contemplations was inspired by long walks through the countryside, thinking about nature and forgotten structures.

Printed in Australia and at Guanlan Original Printmaking Base in China, Damon’s latest exhibition further demonstrates his versatility while still being able to maintain his very distinct style.

This is his second solo exhibition at ODD ONE OUT, and ODD ONE OUT are excited to be hosting this exhibition.

Exhibition opens Friday 30 June from 7 to 9 pm with the artist in attendance. Hope to see you there!
