New Members – Seong Cho

by Leave a Comment

image: Australian Rhapsody, Seong Cho.

I am a Korean born Printmaker. My printmaking practice is mostly woodblock print, and calligraphic styles to represent my Asian heritage and the abstract expression to reflect contemporary influences. My work represents the human experience of seeking harmony and unity, exploring our connection with nature and the natural world, as well as exploring elements of human nature and interpersonal relationships. 

I have had a number of group and duo shows and my two solo exhibitions (2016 & 2018) – the titles of the solo exhibitions were ‘Trails’ and ‘Moment seized me, I seized the moment’.  My work has been recognised domestically and internationally. 

Seong has been represented in the Fremantle Print Award each year for the last three years, and has been a Finalist in the Burnie Print Prize and Inkfest, Cairns.

Passed Failures : Ben Rak

I am pleased to invite you to my upcoming solo exhibition Passed Failures at Bondi Pavilion Gallery.  The opening event will take place on Wednesday, August 21st between 6-8pm.

Passed Failures is an attempt to develop a conceptual, visual language, which metaphorically explores the identity politics of otherness and the act of “passing” as somebody else.
