Transformations - J Space Gallery
Transformations is an exhibition currently showing in J Space Gallery. It exhibits the works by graduate students from the Certificate IV Interactive Digital Media Course. The exhibition runs from 12th of November through to the 18th of December. The students have created work that combines traditional media with new media. There are sculptures, works on canvas, film and photography. The students displaying work include Mireille Beaufrem, Benjamin Chan, Oslyn Franks, Michael Mavracic, Yvonne Picot, Sylvia Riley-King, Leanne Roberts, Quan-Hung Truong and Annie Watkins.
My first impression to the majority of the works was 'this is crap. It looks like they've just nabbed a whole heap of low res images off the net and put a filter over it in photoshop'. But there was one stand out for me, number 54. This small artwork beholds many fine and delicate details such as copper wiring, lace, small golden ornaments, antique imagery of a vase, flower and wheat. The piece has a close up of a large face on it which takes up the majority of the space. An image of some form of arch way has been placed over the top this face. i really like the fine curly paint details in the piece and subtle 3 dimensional aspects. The artwork is predominately brown and gold with aspects of blue and green. It has a rustic, worn effect which i'm a big fan of.
What i'm not a fan of is the film work. Some of it is fair creepy and makes zero sense. Overall the exhibition was ok.
