gold, long gallery, montsalvat arts centre, 27 September – 22 october 2023

From the early morning rise of the sun, full of promise and optimism, fields of gold that bring prosperity and security, and glistening waters at sunset, the golden hues within our world warm our souls and fill us with joy. Within the arts, gold has inspired many. From golden idols fit for the gods, magical golden hours and illuminated manuscripts, to legends and fairy tales and the elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Gold can be a symbol of affection or commitment between loved ones, a treasured possession passed down through generations or used simply as adornment, bringing sparkle to the everyday.

GOLD exhibition runs in the Long Gallery, Montsalvat Arts Centre, 7 Hillcrest Avenue, Eltham, VIC 3095, 27 September – 22 October, and is open 10am-4pm Wednesday to Sunday. Entry is free.

Join us on opening night, Friday 28 September, 6.30-8.30pm to celebrate all that glitters.

Don’ts For Wives, Acrylic on Canvas, 51x41cm, 2023

“Art is a hard mistress, and there is no art quite so hard as that of being a wife. So many women exhaust their artistic power in getting married, which is, after all, a comparatively easy business. It takes a perfect artist to remain married.” Blanche Ebbutt, Don’ts For Wives, 1913

Goldinfinity, Acrylic on Timber Board, 40x40cm, 2023

Long before the fashion runways of Rodarte, my mother had a vivid hallucination on morphine while in hospice care. As she came to the end of her life, an invisible writer spelled out GOLDINFINITY in a gilded hand on the wall and beautiful young girls dressed in roses and gypsophila (baby’s breath) approached. She had returned to her faith. Was this her glimpse of a golden infinity?

Over the past few years our connection to and involvement with communities has become more important than ever, be it as humans interacting through vital and changing relationships, observing the animal kingdom in their interdependency with humans or the complex network of animal and plant communities, be it working together or volunteering, or just being part of something larger and transient. Thou Art Mum will take you on a journey through the interconnectedness that links all in the web of our lives, both real and imagined.

HEAL THY SELFIE, 16 JUNE-14 AUGUST 2022

Pascale Garlinge — Mon, 30 May 2022 02:27:50 +0000

ARTIST STATEMENT

Heal Thy Selfie is an exhibition of female portrait paintings which explores the ‘healthy selfie’ through cleansing foods, virtual travel and the gaze.

In 2022, close to 100 million selfies are taken every day while the beauty and cosmetic industries grow bigger than ever, at times questionably regulated. In a selfie, a woman can be both the object of power and hold the power within herself: she is at home with watching herself being watched. And so, when she becomes sick, it is her reflection in the all-seeing, all-knowing mirror that will alert her.

In the health world, we know that chronic inflammation causes chronic illness, meaning that a healthy gut is crucial to both wellbeing and looking well. Global foods, from the wild blueberries of Canada to the celery juice of the Mediterranean to the lemon water of India, have become sweeping staples in the recovery from toxins in the body. In Heal Thy Selfie we can enjoy the escapism to far flung corners of the world where these foods have their origins, at a time when international travel is greatly reduced.

Pascale looks to her own 5-year experience with chronic illness which caused the malfunction of her immune system in a cytokine storm: Breast Implant Illness (BII), after prophylactic mastectomy and reconstruction. She uses the many posted before/after selfies to inform the painted ‘after’ following explant to flat.

OPENING NIGHT is Wednesday 12 December, 6-9pm

Exhibition runs until 23 December 2018, open Thursday to Sunday 11-6pm.

I-AM-O-PEN-D explores the chemical link between music and emotion. Dopamine is often called the ‘motivation molecule’ because it provides the drive and focus needed for productivity by operating on repetition, memory and attention. The human brain surges with dopamine when listening to the favourite moments in songs which results in feelings of reward and pleasure.

Allegra, meaning joyful, from the musical term ‘allegro’, is holding a golden pen as she listens while the bubbles of dopamine froth through her body and trigger creativity. I Am Open’d is one to unscramble!

Black Treetops Blossom

There is something deeply beautiful and ancient about Australian eucalypt trees silhouetted at dusk and against the night sky. Their forests are dependent on fire as an essential part of the life cycle and regeneration. Ash is the personification of the devastation brought by fire, where her seeds and flowers can blossom in the new sunlight created in the aftermath.

TRUE LOVE @IN.CUBE8R GALLERY 5-17 APRIL 2018

Pascale Garlinge — Mon, 02 Apr 2018 11:12:47 +0000

in.cube8r gallery presents True Love.

There are so many things to love in this world. In this show local artists are invited to create artworks depicting the thing which makes them the happiest – their one TRUE love. This is a show of inspiring and sometimes surprising declarations of love.

Bougainvillea is an ornamental plant which loves light and warmth. A flowering machine, it blooms in a fiery explosion of colour and is hardy, tough and versatile. A closer look reveals that its heart-shaped leaves are paper thin and its scrambling branches are full of thorns.

Near Wild Blooms explore strength, vulnerability and true self- love, and reflect upon Briar’s past, present and future.
