fruits, flowers, and a psychoscape

This exhibition brings together the work of artists Jeremy Eaton and Nicholas Smith. The collaboration is the second iteration of the artists’ joint exploration of historically coded queer sensibilities that pervade Australian modernism. For the exhibition, the artists have created a spatial setting comprising painting, sculptures, and a text work, which responds to the surrealist painting practices of Adrian Feint and James Gleeson. Nicholas’ new, large-scale window installation and paintings draw on the still life works of twentieth century modernist painter Adrian Feint. The yellow glow cast throughout the gallery creates a colour saturated stage reminiscent of stained glass windows. Immersed in the yellow glow are Jeremy's sculptural vessels and a text based work that have emerged from historical and archival research related to artist, poet and critic James Gleeson. fruits, flowers and a psychoscape intersects the queer pleasures and emotional resonances implicit in the artists’ response to the work and histories of these two Australian artists. The opening night, with speeches and a Welcome to Country, will be held at Incinerator Gallery on Friday, 19 April, 6-8pm alongside exhibitions Country is Calling, The light draws along… and All these eyes were mine.
