Cohesion
NEILTON CLARKE | WILL MAGUIRE | MICHAEL MCINTYRE | KARA WOOD
- Opening Event: 15 Nov 2024 | 6pm
This exhibition brings together four artists who work abstractly in different media, but who are connected in their quest to investigate the subtle relationships of shapes in space. Here, connections and collisions are bold and intangible, and weighty moments often pause unnoticed. The works mingle and harmonise in a space where individuals and ideas unite.
NEILTON CLARKE
Neilton Clarke was born in Sydney and undertook his training at UNSW – COFA, majoring in painting & printmaking. Widely travelled, he has undertaken artist-in-residence programs in France, Canada, and Thailand. In the 1990s he undertook a half-year studio residency in Tokyo as a Japan Foundation invitee, subsequently based there for a two-decade period.
MICHAEL MCINTYRE
Michael McIntyre is a multi-disciplinary artist working in the areas of painting and craft. He has a BFA in textiles from Edith Cowan University in Perth and a BFA with honours in painting at the National Art School in Sydney. McIntyre’s work is concerned with history, nature and interconnectivity.
Will Maguire
Will Maguire is a traditionally trained blacksmith based in the Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia. Here, he focuses on re-imagining forged ironwork with care and consideration in the hope it will, in its own small way, make the world a better place.
Kara Wood
Kara Wood is a Newcastle-based artist specialising in ceramics. Her work frequently incorporates text, using it to deepen the dialogue between form and meaning. By merging sculptural elements with language, Kara explores the interplay between individuality and collective harmony.
