"Madonnas, Strangers and Paradise"
9th August - 2nd September
by
Robyn Base
Meet the artist on Saturday 12th August 4-6pm


This exhibition has two themes-both which look at women’s roles in contemporary society. The ‘Madonnas’ icons and oil paintings explore the dichotomy of the holiness and the ordinariness of the mother and child relationship, a universal bond.
The ‘Paradise’ and ‘Majesty’ series and etchings examine perceptions of an Australian Identity in the context of a colonial past and an urban present. The works draw upon past traditions of painting and focus on the iconic image of a burqa-clad woman, who represents the changing ’face’ of the perennial ‘new australian’. The exhibition delves into Australian notions of paradise and majesty, isolation and empowerment.

"Alive and Kicking in Korea"
28th June - 22 July 2006
Five Korean Women Contemporary Artists




Contemporary art is alive and kicking in Korea!

This is a rare opportunity to encounter artworks produced by Korean female artists who choose to continue the traditional Korean painting style in this contemporary time.

In Korea, painting is divided into two styles: one is Western which uses oil or acrylic paints on canvas (called Seo-Yang-Hwa) and the other Korean traditional painting which uses ink and stone paints on mulberry paper(called Dong-Yang-Hwa). These two painting styles bring the old and new in Korean contemporary art together and form a unique trend.

gallery hm will be showing five Korean artists who employ Dong-Yang-Hwa with a contemporary edge. This exhibition is an introduction to the ongoing contribution of women artists in Korean art to an Australian audience and hopefully will establish this flourishing creativity firmly in our artistic mindset.

"Moonlight Garden"

Elena Artyushkova

8th March - 1st April, 2006





gallery hm is delighted to be exhibiting the latest paintings of Elena Artyushkova. Elena was born in Uzbekistan in 1976 growing up with her nomadic geologist parents in the hot winds and red sands of the desert region of Kyzlkum which imbued her with a sense of endlessness and freedom. In 1996 she came to Australia, another land of red deserts and endless horizon, where she has made a new home. Now this self-taught artist finds serenity in creating a series of paintings which have been inspired by her garden surrounds in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. These artworks are simply as full of life as she herself is.


"Beijing Dreaming, Bundeena Dawn"
Lin Chun Yan
8th February - 4th March 2006




Lin Chun Yan was born in Beijing in 1962. Prior to coming to Australia he worked as a full-time artist. Lin Chun Yan was regarded as one of the leading, self-styled artists in Beijing and participated in a number of local and international exhibitions. Like many young Chinese artists, he is essentially self-taught and carries with him an anarchic individualism that is characteristic of artists born in the 60s who were too young to experience the full horror of the Cultural Revolution.

"Nowadays, he has given up on urban claustrophobia and discovered the Australian bush. His recent paintings are full of space, light, and joie de vivre. His preferred motif is a loose-limbed figure with a bouquet of wild flowers or gum blossoms for a head. This blossom man may be found levitating through a forest or by the sea. Lin Shows not the slightest regard for drawing or anatomy - his is an art of pure feeling. His floating figures are symbols of ecstatic freedom and his style is closely matched to his preoccupations"

Bush Calligraphy by Hyun Mi Lee

The exhibition will run until Saturday 3rd, December, 2005

“Bush Calligraphy” is about my interpretation of the Australian environment based on Zen meditation. The philosophy of flower arrangement is one way of meditating to reach enlightenment so I used humble gum tree twigs that we see everywhere in Australia to represent the beauty and significance of nature and arranged the twigs in meditative ways. I extended this using other products of the Australian bush, leaves, flowers, nuts, branches to form my visual meditative responses. This exercise is about finding my relationship to the Australian bush and establishing my perception towards an environment, previously so alien, where I feel I now belong.
