FROM THE ARCHIVE
Official Opening 6-8pm Thursday July 28 2022

ARTIST PROFILE
John Lennox was a central figure in a circle of artists, collectors and socialites that existed concurrently alongside the academic art establishment of Melbourne during the 1970’s and 1980’s. As is evident to any observer of his sophisticated and highly considered work Lennox was a formally trained painter, he studied under the tutelage of George Bell in the early part of his career and became an Artist who created serene imagery as well as works with extraordinary psychological complexity when he deferred from painting idyllic garden or bush scenes. Enigmatic, alluring and charismatic, Lennox sought to show beauty as well as delve deep into the psyche of a world more akin to a surreal dream.
Lennox was a finalist in the Wynne Prize (1974) and won the Camberwell Rotary Prize (1974) in that same year, in 2008 Lennox had a touring retrospective at Benalla Art Gallery (2008) & Castlemaine Art Museum (2008), he is represented in the Queensland Art Gallery, Benalla Art Gallery, St Vincent’s Hospital and in numerous private and corporate collections in Australia and Europe.
Lennox first exhibited with John & Maureen Hoerner at ‘Peaches’ gallery in 1972 and then in the early 1980s exhibited with John Hoerner & Alison Waters as a part of the John Hoerner Galleries stable. During his lifetime Lennox exhibited consistently from 1972 for 24 years until his passing in 1996. Since 2014 Lennox has had four solo exhibitions with Kick Gallery / Jacob Hoerner Galleries, From the Archive (2022), Manifold (2018), Key works (2016) and Enigma (2014), participated in numerous group exhibitions and was a part of Spring 1883 in 2021 & 2018.
From the Archive marks 50 Years since Lennox first exhibited with Peaches / John Hoerner Galleries and then Kick Gallery / Jacob Hoerner Galleries representing a 50 year period in which there has been a collaboration between the Hoerner & Lennox Families, a major half century milestone to be properly marked at the 20th & 50 Year Milestone celebrations on the 28th of July 2022.

Rius Carson
THE LOST ARK
Official Opening 6-8pm Thursday July 28 2022
July 28 – August 20 2022
ARTIST PROFILE
Absorbed in the creative process at his studio and residence in Eppalock, Bendigo, painter and sculpture Rius Carson creates works that reflect on his experience of life and at the same time give voice to his concerns about contemporary issues. Deftly working across two mediums, the prevailing themes contained in Carson’s two and three-dimensional works refer to issues relating to environmental degradation, the implications of our current modes of behaviour on our collective future as well as a broader overarching themes relating to Buddhism, Hindu philosophies, spirituality and the omnipresence of nature.

Brigita Lastauskaite
WATER STORIES
Official Opening 6-8pm Thursday May 26 2022
May 25 – June 18 2022
Brigita Lastauskaite completed a MFA Majoring in Textile at the Vilnius Art Academy in Kaunas (1996) and then having migrated to Australia in the late 1990s went on to study a Bachelor of Media Arts at RMIT (2001). Continually looking at new ways to further develop her visual language, explore new ways of mark making, and subtly communicate through her compositions, the influence of working with textile and texture from her tuition in Lithuania in the 1990s is still evident in her painting practice today.
Weaving the flotsam and jetsam of her scribbles, splashes and spontaneous application of paint Lastauskaite’s multi-layered works are akin to folkloric tapestries. Through an intuitive process of making marks and placing shapes Lastauskaite achieves an alluring balance in her compositions and while the placement of the visual information is often asymmetrical and without pattern, her selection of colours and materials she plays with juxtapose or interlace leading to sumptuous works that immediately engage the eye.
Water Stories is Lastauskaite’s 9th Solo Exhibition, of those 7 have been in Melbourne with the other 2 in Finland and Lithuania. Lastauskaite has also participated in over 20 group exhibitions in Australia and Abroad.
Water Stories runs May 25 – June 18 2022

PAINTINGS
Official Opening 6-8pm Thursday March 24 2022
March 23 – April 23 2022
Born in 1933 in Kent, England, Andrew Sibley migrated to outback Queensland with his family in 1948. After leaving the family property he spent a short time stationed in Papua New Guinea before returning to Brisbane in the late 1950’s.
In the early 1960’s Sibley was a part of the ‘Brisbane School’ with Jon Molvig, Roy Churcher and, further away on Bribie Island, Ian Fairweather. Sibley found early success winning prestigious prizes and was invited to exhibit at the Whitechapel Galley in London in 1962 and the Paris Biennale in 1963. In the mid 1960’s Sibley moved to Sydney and was a part of the Rudy Komon stable that included many of the most important Australian artists of the time and where he established life long connections. After moving to Melbourne in the late 1960’s Sibley was appointed a teaching position at RMIT (1968 – 1988) being influenced and inspired by many of his fellow lecturers who were also recognised for their work during this period such as Jan Senberg, Les Kosatz & George Baldessin as well as imparting his knowledge and particular understanding of making Art on generations of Melbourne based artists at that time.
Paintings is an exhibition of Oil & Enamel Paintings on board & also on linen from the 1960s ranging from 1964-1969. A small survey of an important decade when Sibley commenced his critically and commercially successful career that lasted over 50 years until his passing in 2015.

Alex Hamilton
The Land will not run down to the Sea
Official Opening 6-8pm Thursday March 3 2022
March 2 – 19 2022
“An illustration of an unrealised Apple outlet in Federation Square Melbourne, a one word poem rearranging the letters of the word “monoxide”, and a music score by the artist rendered into cut out holes for pianola player piano, underpins free drawing between fragmented horizon lines. ”
– Alex Hamilton 2022
Rebecca Agnew
INFINITE WEST
Premiere Screening 4-8pm Thursday February 10 2022
February 9 – 26 2022
A twilight into Spaghetti Western comedy, Rebecca Agnew presents her long awaited stop motion animation. Invisible hands occupy the Death Valley desert, bearers of the devotional and ceremonial raising of the Infinite West.
The world asunder, thematic narratives loosely follow Hatshepsut’s rise to the throne of Egypt in 1478 BC, and the enchantment with warlike women of nomadic cultures through the evolution of activewear fashion and the divisiveness of sexual wellness in contemporary culture and social media.
A homily to the coming of age story, the vast scenes in fields laden with spaghetti diverge into a complex and world of unconscious imagination; formulating questions of imperialism, identity, race and sexuality in the ultimate release of moral responsibilities.
Rebecca Agnew is a painter, sculptor and stop-motion animator. Her work explores the human condition in our expanding cultural economy, reflecting on these themes through referencing history, art and artefact she uses the figure and traces of human intervention as a centrepiece.
Infinite West runs February 9 – 26 2022
