Kate Rohde’s upcoming solo exhibition at Karen Woodbury Gallery is her first commercial exhibition in Melbourne. The work for the exhibition is largely inspired by a three month residency in 2008 as a creator-in residence at Tokyo Wonder Site in Japan. Decorative wood carvings of zen and shinto shrines in Kamakura and Nikko were particularly influential.

Ivy comprises a series of photographs captured in black and white. The final prints are rendered with a sepia, peach-champagne tone, with many displaying a mottled hand-coloured effect in faded pastels of pink and green. These works hope to suggest an era past, perhaps Victorian. The imagery is evocative of old picture postcards from Europe and old photographs from the pages of family albums.

Lisa Roet’s exhibition, In-Sight comprises a suite of vibrant neon LED light sculptures in juxtaposition with bronze orangutan, gorilla, chimpanzee and human faces. There will also be a suite of coloured primate head drawings.

Edwards’ practice to date has concentrated on the human figure – especially the history of portraiture. Stylistically his paintings can be compared to artists such as William Dobell and Russell Drysdale. His strong following is a testament to his rich and prolific practice that positions Edwards as one of Australia’s most influential figurative painters.
