Opening: Friday 24th May 5pm-8pm
Looking Back ….. Photo UnRealism
You are invited to a special Open Studios Sunshine Coast Exhibition entitled Looking Back….. Photo UnRealism.
During the course of his visual arts masters degree, Richard Muldoon coined the phrase Photo UnRealism to describe the area of arts inquiry he was exploring whilst writing his thesis.
His graduating exhibition by the same name held at the Smith & Stonely Gallery in Newstead, Brisbane, also toured the Grafton Regional Gallery. The major work in this exhibition, Seven Snapshots, was awarded the coveted Churchie Emerging Art Award in 1997.
Now 25 years later, Richard is looking back over the concept of Photo UnRealism, and the way in which his work has always and continues to be concerned with this concept.
This exhibition will feature paintings from over the last 25 years as well as works from Richard’s undergraduate degree over 30 years ago. Also showing will be some works from his school days including his year 12 major work.
For Open Studios Sunshine Coast, this will be an uninhibited expose of Richard’s journey as an artist.
