  Reynaldo Alcocer :: Abyss

  9 Nov - 15 Dec 2019
  Lismore

  Reynaldo Alcocer was the recipient of the Lismore Regional Galley Graduate Award (SCU) in 2018. What is a trait that you, your friends, families and I might share (more)

  Reynaldo Alcocer was the recipient of the Lismore Regional Galley Graduate Award (SCU) in 2018.

  What is a trait that you, your friends, families and I might share with violent racists, conservatives, liberals, American Republicans and Democrats, the religious, atheists, nationalists, terrorists, law-enforcement, consumers, government and anti-governments? Cognitive dissonance, “the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioural decisions and attitude change” [1]. I continue this concept from my university studies in this mixed-media series called Abyss. My artwork uses both visual inconsistency and consistency in favour of exploring the dark side of moral contradictions found in human groups and individuals. The action in contrast to the beliefs and concepts is a significant worry in today's political climate (or worldview). I use primarily tissue and paper towel as a substrate to convey the fragility of these delicate concepts. The materials I use also explore the frustrations encountered when faced with looking at our own moral values comparing the paper-thin veil with traits in people we revere and revile.

  The Artist's Choice

  14 Nov - 1 Feb 2020

  This annual exhibition was delayed a week due to conditions with the fires in the area, but we still got this show on the road. As is often the case any given exhibition can serendipitously reflect what might be happening around us at the time.

  Fiona Shadwell’s hand painted cloth “Fire” was left with us a month ago, little knowing what was about to happen. Andrew H Daley’s photographic image of Bush Smoke over the Sacred Rocks, and Theodore Kennett-Raj’s ‘Year 2050’ with our mobile oxygen respirators, remind us of the craziness of our times and that art can reflect the preciousness of our resources, as in Rebekah Seriah Webster’s recycled wood sculpture “Conversation in Perspective”. We have a gallery full of diverse and colourful work, with felted wall hangings from Year 7/8 students at Rainbow Ridge Steiner School, and artworks generously donated to the gallery by Joline Shervey to fundraise for the hall.

  There is artwork that celebrates what we have to be grateful for and that also reminds us that so many things are held in the balance.  

  Thurs: 10am-3pm, Fri: 10am-3pm, Sat: 8.30am - 3pm, Sun: 10am-3pm

  The Alchemists: North Coast Woodfire

  23 Nov - 26 Jan 2020
  Lismore

  Featuring artists: Bill Brownhill, Bob Connery, Geoff Crispin, Suvira McDonald, Dennis Monks, Malina Monks, Tony Nankervis, Kerry Selwood, Geoff Stirling, John (more)

  Featuring artists: Bill Brownhill, Bob Connery, Geoff Crispin, Suvira McDonald, Dennis Monks, Malina Monks, Tony Nankervis, Kerry Selwood, Geoff Stirling, John Stewart

  During the 1970s, the Northern Rivers became known as a hub for woodfiring, a process of ceramic production that involves continuous firing, sometimes over days, feeding timber into a handmade kiln. The reason for this convergence is difficult pinpoint, but it may have had something to do with the price of land, the presence of likeminded people, and the attraction of the area to the romantic hearted. The Alchemists brings together 10 master woodfirers who came out of this flourishing. They have each spent 30 years in the area working with clay. Their practices, though they involve the same basic combination of elements (clay, air, heat, wood, ash, and time), could not be more diverse. They range from the fine, controlled work of Geoff Crispin, to the baroque eccentricity of Dennis Monks, the geometry and esoteric symbolism of Malina Monks, and the sensitivity to colour and flux of Tony Nankervis.
