Kent Morris, is a Barkindji man based in Melbourne, who explores the connections between contemporary Indigenous experience and contemporary cultural practices, and their continuation and evolution. His photography concentrates on reconstructing the shapes and structures of the built environment to reflect the rhythms, form and geometric designs of the first people of Australia.
EXHIBITION Molloy-Drum is influenced by the vast space of the Wimmera and Mallee region where he lives. The landscape has directed his arts practice to a place of refinement and expression of simple line and form. The use of building materials can seem quite removed from the artist’s rural home but are a strong reminder of another life lived in busy cities and his suburban upbringing in Dublin. A Horsham Regional Art Gallery exhibition supporting local artists

EXHIBITION
Shaking off the austerity of World War I, they created images of an abundant nation filled with strong, youthful figures, capturing the vitalism of a nation reborn. Technological advancements and urbanisation influenced the emergence of Art Deco: a new aesthetic in art, architecture, design and fashion. Comprised entirely of works from the National Gallery of Australia’s Collection, this exhibition provides superb examples of the diverse expressions of Art Deco. With its bold, simplified shapes and emphasis on geometry and line, Art Deco provided the right aesthetic for the times. Buildings lost their decorative embellishments, fashion became less structured and corseted, and women were enjoying greater freedoms, such as the right to vote and to travel unchaperoned. The image of the stylish, independent woman became popular in portraiture and graphic design for posters and advertisements. Artists also captured the newfound excitement people felt for the opportunity to indulge in transnational leisure travel and luxury adventure.
Exhibition Opening: Friday 15 November 6pm Be the first to see the new exhibition, enjoy drinks and nibbles, meet up with old friends or make new ones, and hear some short words about Art Deco. Meet the exhibitions Friday 22 November 10am–11.30am. Join Gallery staff for morning tea and an informal walk & talk through the new exhibitions.
