Congratulations to Joana Partyka for winning the People's Choice Award for Exploration 22! Joana Partyka is a ceramic artist and political staffer based in Boorloo / Perth. Her work is deeply informed by the Australian political context and aims to push the boundaries of the ceramic medium - to arouse, to enrage and to energise - to invite people to think about and see things in new and different ways. ⁠ ⁠ Exploration 22 finishes today at 3pm. Thank you to all the wonderful artists for their contributions towards a brilliant exhibition. ⁠ https://www.flg.com.au/exhibition/exploration-22 ⁠ ⁠ #exploration22 #unsignedartists #emergingartists #nextbigthing #flinderslanegallery⁠ #peopleschoiceaward #lasthours

Joana Partyka's pottery is presented with a side of politics. Exhibiting now until June 18th in Exploration 22, this piece is 'Red Line' glazed white stoneware vessel with mother of pearl lustre and red epoxy clay detail 'This piece is a comment on the PM’s comments that a Chinese base in the Solomon Islands would be a ‘red line’ for Australia. After completing three firings of the vessel, I used epoxy clay to create the red grid detail that represents the so-called threat of China closing in around this very white country.'

Joana Partyka's wonderful new ceramic pieces will be on exhibition in Exploration 22 from next week. https://www.flg.com.au/exhibition/exploration-22 Menacing Controlling Wallpaper - glazed stoneware vessel with gold detail 18cm x 12cm x 12cm Liar, hypocrite, horrible person, absolute arsehole, fraud, complete psycho, menacing controlling wallpaper: these are just some of names flung at Prime Minister Scott Morrison, most of them from within his own party.

A disruption to, or transformation of spatial logic also plays out within the shifting folds of Richard Blackwell’s white laminate wall sculptures. Conceived via computer generated datasets, the illusionistic lines of Mode Switch, Time Flies (pictured), Climbing the Plane and Start Again each imply a series of disrupted trajectories and reference the language of gaming and digital programming. Where past laminate works referenced architectural or urban aesthetics, these new works suggest purely abstract dynamic movement; their sweeping lines reminiscent of the neon trajectories of players within the CGI classic Tron. Imbued with subtle traces of three dimensionality, these sweeping circuits alter our perception of depth and distance and, through the interplay of line and shadow, rupture ideas of certainty.

Melinda Schawel 'Restraint'

This is possibly my favourite piece in the current solo 'Restraint' by Melinda Schawel. 'Pulsating' is a stunning subtle work that quietly shimmers and moves with its myriad of textures and forms. Schawel has torn, drilled, spilled ink and punctured this heavy weight paper into an eloquent homage to nature's varied beauty. I've taken a video of it for you too as it's very hard to capture the essence of these quiet beauties online. Come in to visit if you can, it's worth the effort! We are open Tuesday - Friday 11am to 6pm and11am to 5 pm on Saturday. Exhibition concludes on Wednesday April 13th at 3pm. https://www.flg.com.au/exhibition/restraint Melinda Schawel

***Artist announcement for Exploration 22! *** From over 600 applications the following 9 very talented unsigned artists will be exhibiting with us for Exploration 22! Now in its 22nd year the FLG Annual Emerging Artist Exhibition provides a platform for emerging artists to successfully exhibit their art within a commercial gallery context. The winner of the FLG Emerging Artist Award will be offered an exclusive solo exhibition with the gallery in 2023. This year's participating artists are... EVA BELTRAN Aiming to depict an emotional experience more than any physical reality, Sydney-based abstract artist Eva Beltran's work explores nature, emotions, and memories through abstract figurations. BRAD GUNN Brad Gunn is a Melbourne sculptor working in a range of contemporary materials and techniques. His works are often figurative and explore psychology and identity through surreal and fantastical characters. MELODY JONES Melody Jones is a contemporary artist from Lake Macquarie, NSW. Specializing in large scale figurative drawings, her work is concerned with challenging stereotypical, traditional, passive, and voyeuristic representation of women. ALICIA KING Alicia King is an interdisciplinary artist working between Naarm (Melbourne) and Nipaluna (Hobart). Her work is driven by a fascination with natural phenomena and the re-thinking and re-working of our material reality. FRANK MESARIC Full of a sense of introspection and pervasive melancholy, Gippsland artist Frank Mesaric's small scale, black and white paintings focus on subjects of solitude and the landscape. JOANA PARTYKA Joana Partyka is a ceramic artist and political staffer based in Boorloo / Perth. Her work is deeply informed by the Australian political context and aims to push the boundaries of the ceramic medium - to arouse, to enrage and to energise - to invite people to think about and see things in new and different ways.

The preview for Kathrin Longhurst's new solo 'Mind-Field' will be hitting inboxes next week. If you aren't already on the preview list make sure to sign up through our website before then. This is 'Alpha' a 90 x 90cm oil on canvas. Kathrin Longhurst's high-realist, figurative painting practice intentionally transforms difficult encounters of oppression and adversity into powerful and positive messages of hope and change. Having grown up in former communist East Germany, Longhurst's family escaped to Sweden when she was 15. The experience of this displacement, compounded by the jarring contrast between living within a totalitarian regime and that of a Western capitalist democracy was the spark that ignited Longhurst's enduring commitment to issues of social justice and freedom of speech. Having travelled extensively throughout Europe and Asia before finally settling in Australia, Longhurst possesses a understanding of human rights issues, the role of women and girls in society as well as a keen awareness of the seductive power of advertising and the media. Her skilfully rendered images of women in states of defiant self awareness layer themes of sexuality, propaganda and body image stereotypes to deconstruct and reassess the mechanisms at play within a given society. ‘Propaganda is all around us. It’s not specific to a period of time, a country or a regime…it’s everywhere’. This ingrained knowledge of political conditioning overtly operates within much of Longhurst's visual language and is the driving force behind her passion to use art to question, challenge and reinvent the ethics and values of today's contemporary culture. Kathrin's new solo 'Mind-Field' will be on at FLG from 19 April to 7 May 2022. ⁠ https://www.flg.com.au/exhibition/mind-field ⁠ @kathrinlonghurst #mindfield #alpha #preview #flinderslanegallery #womenartists #humanrights #stereotypes #visualpropoganda

It's so difficult to show you how gorgeous these oil and resin paintings by Julie Davidson are! Please do come and see the work for yourself if you are in town. 'Alluding to historical vanitas traditions of Dutch and Flemish still life paintings which served to remind the viewer of the transience of life itself, these works also reveal the artist’s flair for visual drama. Gloriously rendered petals appear illuminated from within as they emerge from smoky dark backgrounds to consume the picture plane. In a further reference to another time, these works have been painted on circular canvases and covered in a high gloss resin to evoke the rounded glass domes that were traditionally used in taxidermy practices and the preservation of specimens. Similarly, Davidson captures a moment in nature destined to fade and suspends it in time through the act of painting.
