Paper Visionary: Works on paper by Ruth Faerber from the Mosman Art Gallery Collection

Saturday 3 December – Sunday 29 January

Ruth Faerber is an important artist in the history of Australian printmaking and hand-made paper based art forms. Recognised nationally for her role as educator, critic and artist, Ruth has also been a three time winner in the non-painting category of the Mosman Art Prize during the 1970s and 1980s. As a result of these acquisitions as well as generous donations from the artist to the Gallery, we are fortunate to be able to display a series of works spanning five decades of her artistic career.

During this exhibition period there will be additional selected highlights from the Mosman Art Collection on display including works by Noel Counihan and John Brack.

through-the-door

Tanya Crothers’ background as an architect has encouraged her to look for views beyond edges and frames, beyond doors and windows. For this work, originating in India and Sri Lanka, she concentrated on connections and street views outside and inside hotel rooms. Combining printmaking with hand colour she manipulated perspective to create variations on original sketches.

This new body of work draws together processes and ideas from his cross-disciplinary art practice to reveal a considered search for ‘authenticity’ in Rak’s work. While seemingly minimalist, the work has gravitas, made possible through a deep conceptual engagement with technique and the refinement and articulation of his core creative interests.

Through the artwork, Ben Rak plays with the notion of a hierarchy and chronology of painting over printmaking; in this case, which comes first, the painting or the print? He also plays with the idea that the artist’s ‘mark-making’ is intellectually based instead of incidental or accidental. Rak directly challenges the audience to consider the intention of the artist and to examine what is contained and conveyed through the work.
