A DAY OF MONOPRINTING | Sunday 30 August

There’s still time to claim your spot in the studio with master printmaker Andrew Totman. A full day, a range of colour techniques, and step-by-step demonstrations to guide you from first plate to finished print.

Layer up subtle, sensitive prints or go bold with multiple plates. Andrew shows you both, then works with you to find what suits you.

You’ll leave with a small portfolio of prints that exist nowhere else. Every monoprint is a one-off, impossible to repeat.

Complete beginner or seasoned printmaker, this one’s for you.

Running alongside our print exhibition “Dream and Reason: Paradoxes of the Sublime” at Gallery Lane Cove, 18 August - 11 September.

✨ UPCOMING EXHIBITION ✨

Featuring contemporary printmakers, Andrew Totman, Wendy Sharpe AM FRSN, Salvatore Gerardi, Juanita McLauchlan, Annika Romeyn, Bridget Hillebrand

This exhibition explores the sublime, a Romantic idea that is both catastrophic and transcendent, quiet and terrible. Beyond thought and language, the sublime is vast and paradoxical, stirring both awe and fear.

The show also celebrates printmaking’s long history in Australia, marking the 60th year of the Australian Print Council and the 65th of the Sydney Printmakers, a tribute to the medium and the artists who take on its challenge.

Albert Namatjira’s “Ghost Gum” (c. 1950s) and Otto Pareroultja’s “Western MacDonnell Ranges”, two totemic brothers painting the same country from different places within it.

Namatjira, senior man and lore-holder, opened the path with watercolour; Pareroultja, bound to him not as pupil but as kin, walked it his own way, his rhythmic, repetitive brushwork giving the ranges a movement closer to ceremony than landscape.

Two Western Arrernte men, painting their country.

This is the first time this Namatjira work has come to market since it was gifted by the artist in the 1950s.

“Evolution: Founders of the Indigenous Art Movement” is on until 25 July. Not to be missed.

Curated by Brenda Colahan as part of Gallery Lane Cove’s Guest Curator Program. Supported by Lane Cove Council.

📍164 Longueville Road, Lane Cove
🕙 Tue–Fri 10am–4.30pm | Sat 10am–2.30pm
Full catalogue available on our website.

Image 1: Albert Namatjira, “Ghost Gum”, c. 1950s, Watercolour on paper, 24 x 36cm, POA

Image 2: Otto Pareroultja, “Western MacDonnell Ranges”, Watercolour on paper, 38 x 51cm, John Worthington Hermannsburg Collection, Elders Fine Art Lot 112, Signed lower, POA

Notes:
Namatjira has been recorded as describing his relationship with Otto as brothers. Otto has been described as a pioneer of the “Breakaway” movement, with the introduction of more circular brushstrokes, a feature of Arrernte traditional style.

A DAY OF MONOPRINTING | Sunday 30 August, 10am–4pm

Spend a day in the studio with master printmaker Andrew Totman. Through step-by-step demonstrations, you’ll work across a range of colour printmaking techniques - building sensitive layered prints and bold multiple-plate works.

You’ll explore mark-making from the customary to the experimental: paper stencils, found objects, leaves, feathers. Whatever holds an edge and takes ink.

Go home with a small portfolio of prints that exist nowhere else. Every monoprint is a one-off.

Open to complete beginners and experienced printmakers alike, Andrew works with each student individually.

This workshop runs alongside our upcoming print exhibition “Dream and Reason: Paradoxes of the Sublime”, showing at Gallery Lane Cove 18 August - 11 September.

The next artist in The Plinth Project has been installed! Radka Passianova's work is on view 24/7 in the library plinth opposite Gallery Lane Cove until Thursday 23rd July.

“My Minute” is an installation created for the exhibition Girls On Time by tenmoregirls. The work explores ideas of time, wasted time, and the preciousness of free time. Visually inspired by fish eggs, it reflects my personal experience of valuing time spent outdoors and being away from work-related stress—as the most meaningful and restorative. The work consists of a chain constructed from 352 hand-made copper links, taking a total of 3,720 minutes to complete. Each link represents approximately 9.63 minutes of my time, materialising focused labour invested in a project I love, yet one that simultaneously takes me away from leisure and everyday relief. Visitors were invited to “buy my time” by purchasing individual links, selecting how much of my free time they wished to take. The installation becomes an evidence of how much time was not taken, yet might have been if offered freely. The work can be installed on a wall, floor, or plinth, displayed as a pile or suspended chain of accumulated time. Originally blackened with liver of sulphur, the copper continues to develop patina through handling and environment, reinforcing ideas of time, change, and accumulation. - Radka Passianova

Individual elements can be purchased for $24.

For more info about the artist, pop onto my website under 'events'.
