Paul Maher, Suburban Opera, (detail), oil on canvas. 170 x 119 cm.
CONSALVO | LANKAS | MAHER
Curated by Ahn Wells – Director, Gallery 139
The University Gallery is delighted to collaborate with Gallery 139 to present CONSALVO | LANKAS | MAHER, an extensive exhibition profiling the work of three Gallery 139 artists, Dino Consalvo, Peter Lankas and Paul Maher.
Building on the success of CONSALVO | LANKAS | MAHER at the Depot Gallery in Sydney in 2016, curator Ahn Wells has recontextualised the exhibition for the University Gallery, bringing together new works from their studios that focus on practice and continual improvements in defining and refining subject matter, materiality and process.
The three artists live and work in Newcastle and their works respond to the environment in different ways. These artists each employ their own unique visual language to reflect on the landscape around them, whether suburban, urban or natural. Through working and exhibiting together, they as a group enjoy a collegial frankness in their discussions that brings a freshness to these independent approaches and evident mastery of medium.
The University Gallery, in conjunction with Gallery 139, will present workshops and conversations with the artist – please see our website for details.
