On Paper
10 February - 21 April 2012
Showcasing challenging and surprising works by local and Western Sydney based contemporary artists, whose work engages with the medium of paper.
Linda Wilken references the imagery used in children's cartoons and colouring books to examine the gender stereotyping prevalent in Western consumer culture. Through her ironic distortions of 'Disney Princesses' and 'Prince Charming' Wilken's work critiques the way in which children are exploited through marketing.
Large-scale and graphically striking, Ernest Aaron's monochromatic paintings are as alluring as they are disorienting - simultaneously drawing the eye and repelling it. Interested in the psychology of visual perception, Aaron's art tests the limits of the visual system searching for instances where 'sight' breaks down.
Elizabeth Pozega's printmaking concentrates on the way in which a visual language of motifs and symbols constructs and disseminates identity and its relation to the concept of 'self'. Repetition underwrites Pozega's practice - through the ritualistic act of the etching and the repetitive process of printmaking, to the recurrent corporeal imagery that pervades her work.
