  • Graeme Todd the View from Now Here
    GRAEME TODD The View from Now Here 1 GRAEME TODD The View from Now Here EAGLE GALLERY EMH ARTS ‘But what enhanced for Kublai every event or piece of news reported by his inarticulate informer was the space that remained around it, a void not filled by words. The descriptions of cities Marco Polo visited had this virtue: you could wander through them in thought, become lost, stop and enjoy the cool air, or run off.’ 1 I enjoy paintings that you can wander through in thought. At home I have a small panel by Graeme Todd that resembles a Chinese lacquer box. In the distance of the image is the faint tracery of a fallen city, caught within a surface of deep, fiery red. The drawing shows only as an undercurrent, overlaid by thinned- down acrylic and layers of varnish that have been polished to a silky patina. Criss-crossing the topmost surface are a few horizontal streaks: white tinged with purple, and bright, lime green. I imagine they have been applied by pouring the paint from one side to the other – the flow controlled by the way that the panel is tipped – this way and that. I think of the artist in his studio, holding the painting in his hands, taking this act of risk. Graeme Todd’s images have the virtue that, while at one glance they appear concrete, at another, they are perpetually fluid. This is what draws you back to look again at them – what keeps them present. It is a pleasure to be able to host The View from Now Here at the Eagle Gallery, and to work in collaboration with Andrew Mummery, who is a curator and gallerist for whom I have a great deal of respect.

  • Robert Maclaurin
    ARTIST BIOGRAPHY – ROBERT MACLAURIN Robert Maclaurin is a prize winning landscape painter with an international reputation. A Menzies Fellowship in 1995-6 at the late Clifton Pugh's Dunmoochin Foundation Studio brought Maclaurin to Australia. He has made his permanent home and studio just outside Castlemaine since 2001. Well known for his impressive landscapes, and widely collected in Europe and America, Maclaurin exhibits regularly with gallery representation in London and Edinburgh. “You feel Maclaurin’s engagement with the earth, his feeling for its fragile, living surface. These paintings are as all true landscape should be; images of the real world, but metaphoric, lit by memory and enlarged by imagination, by sympathy and so ultimately by awe at the grandeur of what the Artist has experienced.” Prof. Duncan Macmillan, Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh.

  • Stephanie Mann Talbot Rice Residents 01
    Stephanie Mann Talbot Rice Residents 01 Stephanie Mann is fascinated by the exploration of objects – their inherent properties and latent possibilities. Mann’s work conflates the act of thinking, working and play in bringing disparate elements together, re-balancing established hierarchies, and instigating new relationships between things. Within her sculptural assemblages, digital prints, video works and texts, Mann combines intellectual curiosity and a trust in subconscious Stephanie Mann impulse to inform the objects that will become Talbot Rice Residents her subjects. She builds compositions of natural and artificial materials, pairing incongruous companions in dialogue – loud neon pieces sit with muted organic matter, roughly textured compounds meet soft and shiny forms, whilst Mann’s own body, or body parts, often feature in the tableaux, as either an equal element or agent of disruption. What objects are kept? Why, how and for whom? Mann is drawn to collections and archives, exploring the human desire to collect, and the potential futures of collections in an increasingly digital, non-material world. She asks what it means for the ‘chosen’ objects to be preserved in their original form. And how these established customs might be challenged or Artist destabilised, by introducing elements that, by nature or design, are in a state of flux – unruly Intro objects that defy the conventions of traditional conservative collecting. Mann assumes the role of amateur alchemist, occupying the fertile space between scientific scrutiny and playful speculation. Her interests and research range widely, from geology and anatomy to philosophy, filtered through a ludic spirit, to create poetic scenarios and provocative encounters.
