The less there is to see the more important it is to look

Beginning with three early Australian modernist abstraction works and then presenting the diversity of the movement from the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the exhibitions aims to reposition the narrative of abstractionism, urging the viewer to ask questions about the accepted linear history.

When in 1912 Pablo Picasso and George Braque began to incorporate papier collé or pasted paper elements in their cubist compositions, often the discarded oddments of everyday life, they sparked a new means of engaging with the real in art.

JOHN NIXON: BLACK WHITE & GREY. PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDIES (PHOTOSHEETS)

The camera here is used as an extension of the eye—of looking. The photographs are taken close-up to the subject with attention to detail and composition, and with a textural and abstract overview. Though drawn from the real, they further my ongoing exploration of the abstract.
