The exhibition celebrates Allister’s deep and enduring connection with the bush landscape that surrounds Mansfield, Victoria. Revelling in memory and a parade of unsavoury characters, the work is filled with laconic humour and nostalgia. ‘In Times’ journeys from Melbourne’s inner north, acutely observing the friction found in Fitzroy’s bar flies and snow bunnies landing amongst the country roads to nowhere.
A contemporary art gallery in the heart of Fitzroy, located upstairs at 55 Gertrude St. Focused on emerging and contemporary artists, the Gallery is committed to connecting artists and makers with collectors.
Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 5pm, or by appointment.
Another State of Lapse.
My nature is constant change, undefined, layers of recognisable and the unrecognisable.
‘The nature of my lapse is to shift into brief or temporary disconnection of concentration and or judgement, to exist in the motion of action painting, a gestural visual language and draw on generic memory to be represented at an interval or passage of time.’
Allister Paterson’s works will provide a visual exploration, marrying the nature of one’s self within the nature of landscapes captured.
Allister moves instinctively with a frequency at which layers captured are more spread out, swift and appear moving when compared to the frequency and sequence typically used to capture a more refined explanation of what is being seen in the Australian landscape.
Allister gives further insight to this method of creativity with a reference to his child like enjoyment of watching a landscape pass by at speed, and the ability to recognise this in image blur whilst being able to combined or transition out, to recognisable forms .
‘When viewed I want to see my landscapes as they appear whilst incorporating change, movement and thus lapsing state’.
“ I’m happiest taking this depiction beyond a moving vehicle and have works exist in a lapse at a single reference point, and working with bridging the lapse of season, light and a landscapes movement’.
Allister Paterson provides a unique insight into ones connection with the nature of landscape painting. Without doubt on the way to being recognised as an important addition to the countries notable landscape painters.
