Collage and drawing by Andrew Townsend
March 2008
Acclaimed Australian regional artist Andrew Townsend is the master of three dimensional works. His body of work stretching back almost three decades has always been grounded in the sense and feel of made objects “re-discovered”. Be they sculptures or works on paper, Andy's intention is always to get beneath the surface of things to explore their intrinsic strangeness and ambiguities. His “worlds”, described in collage and drawing, explore various intersecting narratives, contradictions, mixed messages and uncertain endings. They capture the driving force of commerce, a touch of the exotic, the tragedy of change and a lingering nostalgia inherent in found objects perceived in new surroundings. In these exciting new works on paper Andy has created an atmosphere of an old world giving way to a new but he leaves his viewers wondering what world it might be, such is the mystery they evoke.
Gallery Director, Cheryl Hannah is very pleased to present World in Worlds for her seventh show in fyreGallery.
