Emma Van Leest — Bucolica II

Emma Van Leest — Bucolica I

Emma Van Leest — Bucolica IV

In the work of Emma van Leest, art and life come very close together.  This is not only due to the demands of the art of paper cutting, which require long hours of application to a technically demanding craft.

On one hand incredibly delicate, on the other extremely repetitive, it is an art form based on a skill which develops as a form of devotion as much as the result of discipline.

Bundit Puangthong New Work

To coincide with the 6th Asia Pacific Triennial, the gallery is pleased to present a new body of work by Thai-born Melbourne-based artist Bundit Puangthong.

Employing a wide range of media, and guided by an acute awareness of social phenomena, Bundit utilises the pictorial space as a site of negotiation between inherited and adopted motifs. Via this jumble of words, themes and associations – Buddhist, Thai, American Pop and an ever-increasing array of Australian idiosyncrasies – he encourages us to discover and enjoy the multiplicity of meanings and commonalities that weave together to create our cultural fabric.

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

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.
