Miranda Skoczek – Patterns of Knowledge

Opening Night, Friday, 30 October 2009, 6-8pm

Miranda Skoczek’s art gestures towards utopia. Her paintings, which draw freely from across the globe’s visual languages, allow the viewer to witness the birth of new meanings and relationships, and imagine how the fantastical spaces that materialize out of the artist’s musings and experimentations with imagery might be inhabited. gallery@edwinacorlette.com for all enquiries.

VEXTA – I Won’t be Back ‘Til Dawn

Posted in Artists by edwinacorlette on September 30, 2009

The gallery is delighted to present I Won’t be Back ‘Til Dawn, a solo exhibition by well known Melbourne stencil artist Vexta/Yvette Bacina.  Recently returned from  Bogota, Columbia and the US, Vexta draws inspiration from her extensive travels.  Her practice has been honed by wit and nimbleness, and mediated only by a desire to make images that speak of their time. Pop culture, lines from songs and mass media’s imagery accumulate in her work, and imbue it with the immediacy of life from which she draws her inspiration.
