Summer
Liverpool Street Gallery is thrilled to present SUMMER, a group exhibition that surveys and recontextualises expressions of heat and warmth in Australia.
This show introduces the work of two new artists, Taras Kripps and Lisa Patroni, alongside more established artists - Steven Harvey, George Tjungurrayi, David Serisier, Marea Gazzard and John Olsen. The works draw colour and vitality from the specific nature of our antipodean summer, at once bleached and barren, colourful and pulsating.
Patroni鈥檚 work conjures the brilliance of a canola field, while the Tjungurrayi and Serisier invoke the heat-haze that shimmers over open ground. Kripps鈥� and Harvey鈥檚 muted greys, so easily associated with winter鈥檚 chill, are transmuted into summer tempest 鈥� the verdigris of Maria Gazzard鈥檚 Head, a testament to the power of rain to transform. At the end of it all, Olsen鈥檚 The Loneliness of a King-Sized Bed imagines the cloying heat of sleepless summer nights.
