NEIL LADE – SOLO EXHIBITION
Opening Night Friday 24 July, on view until 6 August
Longtime Ainslie-based artist Neil Lade has juggled art and words since his early teens. His painting and sketching have been his main therapeutic escapes for decades. Fitting art into everyday life was a crazy juggle for a long time as journalism and family life took over. Now in his mid-70s and happily retired, he devotes more quality time to his art.
The artist says:
My small and larger sketches usually begin life as works in black ink on paper. Some remain that way. Some images emerge later when I add colour by pen or acrylic paint. Some start with colour – by pen and/or acrylic paint. They are a mix of surreal, weird and comical – sometimes all three. -
MARTIN PAULL
7 – 20 August
Driving around at night, have you seen your headlights reflect the signs back at you? Sometimes it seems fantastical to me; there is something captivating about the night, the things that are lit, and not lit. The paintings take inspiration from Canberra’s planned landscape, which in the dark can be on a magnitude that tends towards the epic. Night-lit buildings and well-lit roads, with reflecting signs hanging in the void like paintings in a gallery.
