We just added a series of new work in limited edition print by Brisbane artist and design aficionado Gert Geyer. After seeing these pieces up on the wall, I couldn't escape the reference to a painting that I love by Charles Demuth 'I saw the figure 5 in gold' 1928. Demuth was a leader of the modernist movement called Precisionism and a group of artists known as the Immaculates. It is believed that the style was coined Precisionism by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) founder and director Alfred H Barr due to the clean edge forms and painterly precision. Subjects mainly included industrial landscapes and the movement is commonly associated with that subject matter, however the artists were not so keen on this pigeon hole believing that nature was an essential part of their work. 'I saw the figure 5 in gold' was inspired by a poem written by William Carlos Willams and my connection with Geyer's new work goes beyond its aesthetic precision to the actual inspiration and subject of the work, which is essentially the poetry of the environment (both urban and natural) being reduced to its absolute minimum form. The manner in which Geyer works, from collage to digital, achieves a level of precision that the Immaculates could really only dream of achieving through paint. Her work in my opinion realizes their goal more completely. It is an exciting retake & homage to a somewhat forgotten movement that is almost 100 years old.

Among the rain

and lights

I saw the figure 5

in gold

on a red

firetruck

moving

tense

unheeded

to gong clangs

siren howls

and wheels rumbling

through the dark city

Together with CHASING TAIL we have released a new series of prints by the sensational Matt Sheridan. In the Gallery we are featuring CHASING TAIL - one of Matt's moving artworks. The piece is an animated composite of physical & digital painting that revolutionizes the traditional medium by making it four dimensional. A painting of the 21st Century!

Here is a little insight into Matt Sheridan's innovative process and the story behind the latest series of prints.

Each of the paper paintings that we have released in print was created to generate sequentialized marks to be scanned and composited into video paintings-in-motion. Together they create a moving painting, and as stand alone pieces they are sensational - even better is a cluster!
