Intaglio Printmaking
-
Angus Wood, Alexi Keywan, Luke Shelley
-
These three young artists who have recently completed a year of honours studies in Printmaking at the National Art School, will be demonstrating a range of printmaking techniques and approaches to image making.
-
Angus Wood employs traditional etching processes, such as dry point and aquatint, to produce complex and beautiful narrative images of ‘man and beast’ that consider relationships of power and our place within them.
-
Luke Shelley takes an unconventional and experimental approach to the use of traditional etching techniques to produce startling and subtle works that convey his sense of wonder and concern for the natural world.
-
Alexi Keywan employs the painstaking technique of ‘mezzotint’ to produce her striking and psychologically charged ‘urban landscape’ images.

- Edmondson Sonny Cole, Edison Yongai and Abdul Jalloh are journalists-in-exile from Sierra Leone who now reside in Australia. 'Darkness Over Paradise' is their story. Their testimonials, and that of Ms Saibatu Kamara, humanitarian worker, provide a vivid narrative of the lives of ordinary people and media workers caught up in the brutal Sierra Leonean civil war. Photojournalist Cole's original footage bears witness to the daily horrors of war and provides a rare insight into the refugee experience.
