AND PATTERNS brings together the recent work of CLAUDIA DAMICHI and EMILY GALICEK, two Sydney-based artists interested in bold colour, pulsing repetition and nostalgic designs. The exhibition features a selection of paintings and a strictly limited edition ‘attachable’. “My work has always been characterised by a love of vivid colours, elaborate patterns and playful spatial proportions. Influences such as geometric optical art, vintage interior décor, 1980’s hyper coloured architectural spaces and disco aesthetic of the 1970’s seem to be the cocktail I am always mixing. Colour completely defines the agenda for me, then the patterns slice and spice the spaces opening opportunities for colour to find its moment of resonance, a cha-cha of sorts, enabling colour to hold the dancefloor.“ CLAUDIA DAMICHI “The paintings in this exhibition are made from imagery of antique and vintage textiles and patterns, all sourced through extensive internet searching. They chart a movement from handmade object, to image on the internet, to Photoshop composition and back to physical painting. I am fascinated by what is lost and gained in this kind of movement; the imperfect act of translation from screen to painting, and the use of the labour-saving computer to create physical artistic labour.” EMILY GALICEK
