Caspar Fairhall



Folded Cube

Animated Short Film

" Folded cube is a short animated video work that extends the concerns with the paradoxical nature of pictorial space into the dimension of time. The video relates closely to a large painting of the same name in the Murdoch University art collection. While the original painting has implied movement, the video makes that movement explicit, though without explication; the flatness and illusion remain as paradoxical as ever. "

Spatial Variations

Oil on Belgian Linen \ 106 x 160 cm \ 2021

" Similarly playing with the paradoxical nature of images, the painting Spatial variations combines incommensurate perspectival systems into the one image. The projection forms overlap and share the same dark void, but each defines space on its own terms. It is left undecided whether the forms are infinitely long, each with its own vanishing point, or whether they converge spatially, tapering to a definite point. "

Caspar Fairhall

Caspar Fairhall’s multidisciplinary art practice over more than 25 years incorporates painting, video and interactive video art — all with a foundation in observational drawing. Best known for hard-edged but painterly works with rich surfaces, much of Fairhall’s work can be seen as asking questions of the viewer such as: What does it mean to represent space in an image?

How does the space in an image relate to the space and time outside the image? What does it mean to both look into and at an image? Rather than simply treating figuration and abstraction as opposites, Fairhall seeks to use figurative techniques, such as perspective, to reveal something of the limits of abstraction, while at the same time using elements drawn from abstraction to raise questions about the nature of figuration. The complex, layered paint surfaces and unresolvable pictorial spaces—what curator Margaret Moore described as propositions for perception—are tools that Fairhall uses to address these questions.

Fairhall holds a Masters in Fine Art from the University of New South Wales and his work is represented in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, Artbank, and the Art Gallery of Western Australia, amongst others. In 2018 Fairhall was the recipient of the Artsource Global Residency in Basel, Switzerland, and in 2019 conducted a workshop for postgraduate students at China Academy of Art. He is represented by Blockprojects Gallery, Melbourne and Kamilė Gallery, Perth

Ian Williams



Double Barrel (Artbank collection, Australia)

Oil on Canvas \ 100cm x 150cm \ 2017

Williams was investigating the virtual representation of space in video games in a painterly style that blurred the boundaries between abstraction and realism, exposing the absurd mechanisms of pictorial realism.In these paintings, through arduous, labor intensive processes, Williams methodically breaks down the aesthetic inner logic of the computer-game-playing experience.

Ian Williams' work  is literally through illumination. By throwing light onto dark dead spaces through car headlights or torches, he recreates these spaces, remaking them, reconstituting them as places that can be given meaning.

This recalls the work of modernist painters who went into the steel factories to paint engineers on the foundry floor in the nineteenth century. One such artwork is The Iron Rolling Mill (Modern Cyclopes) by Adolph Menzel (1872). There is a return to this approach to painting in Williams’ work. He too, investigates the processes of the production of things. Williams also seems to be on the foundry floor, himself, intellectually at least, in the process of the production of a coherent image of the virtual foundry of these mysterious mechanics.

Ian Williams

Ian Williams’ practice is concerned with the interpretation of reality within virtual environments and how this can be expressed through painting. Using found objects from video games, he uses the conventions of still life painting to explore the properties of the virtual everyday object.

Playing with the genre of still life, which typically presents inanimate subject matter, his works originate from the moving digital world. Selecting and exporting everyday objects from within video game environments, Williams creates painting compositions that toy with real world phenomena such as gravity, scale, and the forces of collision. Illuminated from a first person perspective, the viewer is placed within a vaguely familiar yet physically impossible choreography of objects.

Ian works mainly within the mediums of painting and drawing, and has work in public and private collections including Artbank, Curtin University, North Metropolitan TAFE, University of Western Australia, and Town of Victoria Park. In 2018, Williams graduated with First Class Honours from Curtin University, and has exhibited extensively locally and interstate.

Holly Yoshida



Offerings

Oil on Board \ 60cm x 80cm \ 2021

The empty room is a recurring motif in Yoshida's work, the absences and neutrality invite a speculative and voyeuristic gaze, in which we might construct or impose narrative. Through an engagement with the process of painting, she aims to depict the private and invisible by de-familiarising the everyday. State Art Collection, Art Gallery of Western Australia. Purchased through the Art Gallery of Western Australia Foundation: Emerging Artists Fund 2021

Holly Yoshida

Holly Yoshida (b.1992) is a painter based in Whadjuk Noongar Boodja/ Perth. Her practice is informed by historical painting and the conventions of Still Life, choosing to work in dry brushed oil on panel, employing a grisaille technique and subdued palette as she documents and quietly elevates present day mundanity. Yoshida graduated from Edith Cowan University with a Bachelor of Contemporary Art in 2014. She has had three solo shows at Freerange (2016), Spectrum Project Space (2019), Moore Contemporary (2021) and has participated in numerous group exhibitions including The View from Here (2021) at The Art Gallery of Western Australia.

About the exhibition

Art is a language that doesn’t need translation. For a long time, art has played an important role in the communication between China and other countries. In the context of economic globalization, cultures from all over the world collide and fuse with each other, forming a multi-cultural network. Chinese culture and various cultures of other countries meet here, forming a strong and diverse artistic atmosphere As globalization makes the cultural and artistic exchanges between countries more frequent and more closely connected, the optimization of the international artistic ecological environment also provides new opportunities for the evolution of art. Art is enriched by exchanges and mutual learning; the development of art requires international exchanges and cooperation, the active participation of artists from all countries, the sharing of ideas, the collision of hearts and the blending of emotions.This initiative is hosted by the Sino-Canada Alliance of Arts and Culture,York University Centre for Asian Research, Sensorium: Centre for Digital Arts and Technology, the Luxun Academy of Fine Arts gallery, and the School of Visual Communication Design of LAFA, with funds from the Canada-China Initiative Grant from York Centre for Asian Research, and Double first-class project approved by Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts.
