EightZeroTwoZero 9 artistes australiens - Galerie ABSTRACT PROJECT, 5 rue des Immeubles Industriels, 75011, Paris, France - 25 February to 8 March 2025


Nine artists from 80:20 Artist Agency participated in a group exhibition in Abstract Project in Paris. I exhibited 16 small oil on timber paintings and 2 paper and timber cube sculptures. The paintings were constructed from random arrangements of stencil shapes onto random colours and the scuptures were constructed from timber cubes wrapped with multi-coloured papers.

Thank you to William Seeto of 80:20 for his facilitation and assistance with funding, and Bogumila Strojna and team from Abstract Project for their work hanging and maintaining the exhibition.

From the Articulate website

PAPER FORM group exhibition presents the artworks that invite us to consider the materiality of paper in space. Stacked, folded, moulded, built, inscribed and moving. Paper is mutable and has a memory that indelibly records its engagement with the environment, from finger prints, to sun and wind, to the form it is made to take. 

I contributed 2 towers.  The 4.5m tall Tatlins Tower made from painted cardboard tied together with yarn, and the 50cm tall Tiny Tatlin of small timber blocks covered with coloured paper and PVA.
