While We're Still Here
While We鈥檙e Still Here is an intriguing group show that uses the foundation of 鈥榮till life鈥� 鈥� an art genre that has been around for thousands of years 鈥� as a vehicle to explore the material possessions, natural wonders and cultural phenomena of our modern-day life, through the practice of painting objects that are most often inanimate or sometimes even dead.
This new exhibition 鈥� opening at aMBUSH Gallery Sydney before travelling to aMBUSH Gallery Canberra 鈥� displays the works of 21 emerging and established Australian artists who use everyday items and the language of juxtaposition and hidden symbolism to convey their life experiences.
Considered composition, bold brushstrokes, detailed texture and rich colours reflect the dynamic diversity of these artists鈥� world views. They comment on subjects including consumerism, celebrity, relationships, feminism, religion and domesticity, while subtly reminding us of life鈥檚 inevitable conclusion.
