"The body of work presented in this exhibition is a record of my daily life. Each piece is my diary entry. Instead of writing, I document my life in this visual format. The things you see in my work are abstract and symbolic forms of the things I encountered with, thought about, and felt on a specific day or during a period of time.

I consider these paintings to be street vignettes of people, boulevards, and shop windows. They depict various times, places and activities that comprise what we all do best - "just looking".

Elliott Louis Gallery joins this year's Drawn Festival with a two-person exhibition that

is the spirit of life, sexuality and regeneration, t ...

Stefany Hemming

Apr 07, 2010 – Jun 06, 2010

The exhibition, Raw, is Stefany Hemming's second showing at the Elliott Louis Gallery. This new body of work depicts woven networks of twigs, roots and vines, forming both recognizable shapes and curious objects. These large format oils challenge our perception of "the natural" in painting through processes which explore gesture, time, stillness and the randomness associated with nature.

Hemming writes, "My work is an exploration of painting as an obsessive, ritualistic, instinctive pr ...

WINTER

With the advent of postmodernism in the late 60s, we no longer ask the interminable question: 'what does this art work, mean?" But rather, 'what does this art work, do? Or, again, following Lyotard, 'what does this art work set in motion?' We can think of art in this way as producing a number of aesthetic effects or rather affects. The aesthetic effect, does not come from the object, but from the object being confronted by a beholder that 'gets' the meaning, 'feels' the effect. ...
