Michael Downs
Born in Skipton, England, 1953
Lives and works in Sydney, Beijing and Bali

The paintings of Michael Downs are unique. They are shaped and multi-textured and highly coloured. Often they are also back-painted with fluorescent paint so that appear to glow and float off the wall. The shaped nature of the work also creates complex dancing shadows around the painting.

The subject matter is urban landscape. The energies of cities have always fascinated the artist; the complex architectural forms, the incessant flow of traffic and the surging masses of its citizens. The artist also has a fascination with hidden energies; such as the way the wind and rain moves through a city and how the enormous complexities of internet and phone traffic can be depicted.
In order to express the overlapping energies of a city, Downs often plays with both aerial and lateral perspectives and also makes different symbolic forms collide with each other within the painting. The edges of the works are open-ended and fluid to express the apparently endless expansion of China’s urban landscape.

MICHAEL DOWNS AND CHINA
Downs made his first visit to southern China in 1990. In 1998 he visited Beijing for the first time and, since 2010 he has made over twenty long working trips to the country. His studios have been mainly in Songzhuang Artists Village, east of Beijing, but he has also spent time in Kunming, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and Xingtai.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY AND RESUME
Since graduating from England’s Bath Academy of Art in 1976 (where he was taught by the modern masters Frank Auerbach and Howard Hodgkin) Downs has exhibited his striking and unusual shaped paintings in over 50 solo shows and 300 group shows in twenty countries around the world, including the Pompidou Centre, Paris, the Centro de Cultura Contemporanea, Barcelona, the Barbican Centre, London. the Museum of Contemporary Art, Beijing, and the Osaka Triennale of Painting in Japan.

Downs’s striking shaped paintings have feature in two major surveys of twentieth century art; ‘La Ville’, the definitive survey of urban landscape painting between 1900 and 2000 held at the Pompidou Centre, Paris, and ‘Dreams in Twentieth Century Art’ curated by Lyn Gamwell in New York in 2002.

Carol Barroso

Carol was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and has been residing in Australia since 2003.


Combined with Carol’s innate spirituality being raised a Catholic family and overall Brazil being is a very mystical place, Carol began her practice of Vipassana Meditation in Blackheath, Blue Mountains, almost immediately upon arriving in Australia and continues till today as much as possible.


Her meditation practises directly influences her art, putting her in touch with the metaphysical world through her own experience of truth from within.


That also has influenced Carol’s connection to her surroundings and people. Carol says that as she became in touch with her own emotions and spiritual makeup, she developed progressively through the years, not only insight into the reality in which she experiences but also an enhanced sensibility to energies of places and people.


The paintings relate to her experiences in nature as well as her close family and soul family.


Carol attend College of Fine Arts UNSW for many years, and graduated in 2016 with a research on whether Meditation can Assist Understandings of Consciousness in Art. She majored in Time Based Art and made short films for her Research. During this time Carol picked up the painting, and is mostly self-taught.


Her practice is by far very influenced by her metaphysical experiences through meditation, and also poetry. Her focus is on a spontaneous expression of creativity according to her inner truth.
Gemelle Madigan is an Australian artist best known for her monochromatic paintings on glass, acrylic, canvas and paper. Madigan grew up in rural Australia and
moved to Sydney where she studied at the Julian Ashton Art School and the NSW University of Fine Arts (COFA). Gemelle Madigan left COFA and began experimenting with different materials, eventually creating her own paint and technique for reverse painting on glass and acrylic.


Gemelle Madigan 
lived on Berowra Creek (Sydney) for many years and was especially fascinated and influenced by the ever-changing light and colour that was reflected in the dark, mirror-like surface of the green river. She experimented with silver leaf and mixed media before coming off the canvas and onto the glass. She reverse-painted what was under the surface of the water onto the glass and acrylic to re-create the luminous and reflective qualities of the water. This technique is highly intuitive as the work is impossible to be seen until completion. Gemelle Madigan has a passion for waterways, for the oceans and for the planet at large. Her works evoke a feeling of hope, beauty and mystery, drawing the viewer in close with the large blocks of luminous colour, contrasted with fine details of bleaching corals. Her work constantly explores themes of creation and destruction.

Gemelle Madigan currently lives and exhibits in Sydney, Australia. Her work has been sold in Australia, the US, Korea and Italy.
Pin Hsun Hsiang 
was born in Shanghai, China and comes from a background in advertising and traditional watercolour painting. Upon migration to Sydney Australia in 1988, Pin gained additional skills through working on antique restoration and turned his focus onto the sculpture.

Over the past 12 years, Pin has created award-winning works, been selected into many private collections and exhibits regularly as a member of The Sculptors Society.

“Pin Hsun Hsiang’s abstraction of a “Naughty Girl 5” is a both comedic and energetic description of a girl’s wild tantrum. The shape of a roughly honed piece of wood indicates that the girl is probably going through irrepressible teenage phase. Lightly polished areas of the wood are highlighted and in turn it is repeatedly wrapped around with a long piece of chain. Metal wire suggests hair that scatters in every direction with quick movements of her head. We get the feeling that repeatedly she gets into trouble struggling to free herself from the typical frustrations of being her age. This sculpture has integrity, contains an imaginative use of materials and is a well resolved work.” – Angela Morrell, Darling Park Sculpture Exhibition Review, 2009

“I felt Pin Hsun Hsiang’s work was worthy of note and in particular “Back”. Again it was the simplicity of the form that attracted my attention. I acknowledge a glimpse towards Mannerism and more recently Modigliani and his elongated forms, but the artist has made this form his own. His careful handling of the timber, the slight bleaching and the minimal markings makes this a contemplative work.” – Sally Downer, Darling Park Sculpture Exhibition Judge, August 2005

“Infinity is described in mathematical systems as the number 8 on its side. The medieval symbol for infinity is a snake biting its tail or an empty circle. It is easy to have a preference for Hsun Hsiang’s symbol for Infinity, which is organic and alive and singular in interpretation. It has a seductive movement, which is enhanced, by the placement of a strongly contrasting orange ball that appears to exaggerate the suggested motion within the perfect whiteness of its principle form.” – Angela Morrell, Darling Park Sculpture Exhibition Review, 2010
Echo Cai 
graduated from Peking University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Art, Beijing China, in 1988. She came to Australia in 1989. In 2000 Echo met Hong Fu, a highly recognized Chinese-Australian artist. He became her oil painting mentor, studying under him full time for the next two years. In 2012 Echo was diagnosed with Leukemia. Now well, Echo has realized, “life is precious” and has grown a new enthusiasm for art. Echo is a published writer and has curated multi-art events and exhibitions in Melbourne between 2014 – 2017.

Echo works now as a professional artist, winning multiple awards. Her work features many street scenes around Melbourne, especially her favourite, Brunswick Street. The bright and lively streets and crowds appeal to Echo as subject for her art. Echo is an artist who is innovative and brave in her career. In this exhibition, she will show her recent works.
Emanuel Sammartano 
is an Italian Architect and Designer based in Sydney, with a deep enthusiastic creativity and passion that range from antique to contemporary. He has been deeply influenced by his early experience with his father, an antique collector and restorer. Moreover, his academic studies and a deep interest in the Bauhaus and De Stijl have developed in him an acute sensibility and peculiar artistic sense.

It’s a time when we usually find ourselves poking around the Internet, carefully considering which creative endeavor to pursue in anticipation of our hallowed free time. The inspiring design of Emanuel never puts his talent in a box. Quite the opposite, his work crosses boundaries and disciplines. He makes major contributions to architecture and design, but also dabbled in fine arts, from where he takes inspirations and creates real pieces of “Art-Design” furniture.

The relation between art, architecture, antique objects and design combines his job to a unique and personal process where all influences are fused together creating something original and unexpected but at the same time real objects.

He works in sequences of ideas, meaning, when he is about to finish a work his mind is already triggered onto the next one. His work comes about through sequential reasoning led by his intuition. A freer structuring process is crucial to unleash his creativity.

It is all there: beautiful compositions, balance, colors, intelligence, originality…simply yet so sophisticated!
Frank Malerba
Recognised in Melbourne and nationally for his sculptural works, Malerba continually delights viewers with his lyricism of line translated into steel. Working from line drawings, Malerba creates sculptures of the drawings formed out of laser-cut steel. Malerba states, “Using a linear approach I am able to accentuate and capture the sense of movement that is unique to the subject matter. I am interested in capturing the many fleeting moods of my models.”

Malerba’s work articulates a combination of new wave pop – realism, the abstract and the figurative sublime. This is achieved through the bold use line combined with progressive techniques and materials, lending the work to be sensually urban. His art practice also consists of paintings and public art.

Famed for his expressive use of line, Malerba has been commissioned to complete prominent public artwork situated in St Kilda, South Melbourne and Flemington. Malerba’s mark making is a feature within this highly successful artwork. Erotic Blur – his newest body of work, further explores the female form using a blurring technique. Forthright and expressive Malerba’s portrayals of the women he paints are confronting yet sensual.
