Brave and Beautiful - Timothy Owen

BRAVE AND BEAUTIFUL Celebrating the life and art of Timothy Owen Exhibition 24-30 April 2023

Brave and Beautiful – Timothy Owen

BRAVE AND BEAUTIFUL

Celebrating the life and art of Timothy Owen

Exhibition 24-30 April 2023

 
Life is fleeting. It is precious, unpredictable and fragile.
Timothy Owen trod gently on Earth for just 17 years before returning his stardust to the Universe on 29 April 2020. He experienced life’s wonders and elation, its challenges and disappointments. A talented photographer, filmmaker and storyteller, Timothy lived life with passionate, adventurous enthusiasm. He loved and was loved.
Everyone’s experience of the pandemic was unique. For some, it was inconvenient – missed holidays, delayed plans. For others, loss of social connection and personal freedom came at great cost – loved ones kept apart, denied the comfort of touch, of presence, of rituals. Restricted to a funeral of just 10 friends and family, Timothy’s mother promised to curate an exhibition of his photographs to celebrate her son’s life so all could share in the beauty of his art and his legacy of kindness. Through this exhibition, she keeps that promise.
You are invited to share in this unique celebration of life, love and light.

Burning of the Woman - Alexis Costello - Tao Gallery

BURNING OF THE WOMAN – ALEXIS COSTELLO. Official Function Friday 24th March 6pm

Burning of the Woman – Alexis Costello

BURNING OF THE WOMAN

ALEXIS COSTELLO

Alexis lives in Bondi, Sydney and is mum to two girls.
After studying drama in London and performing on stage and in film she travelled Italy for several months falling deeply in love with the culture, language and art. 
In her paintings, Alexis explores the complexities of being a woman and a mother, drawing influence from Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo and Turkish painter Hulya Ozdemir amongst others. 
 
Using bright, bold acrylic colours on large-scale canvases, she examines themes of postnatal depression, and the relentless demands of mothering that coincide with the intensely profound love we feel for our children.
Her exhibition, Burning of the Woman, although explicit with themes of motherhood also explores femininity in greater depth. It’s a celebration of what it is to be inside a woman’s body, exploring sensuality, romantic love, friendship and relationship with self. 
 
Alexis would be honoured to have you join her on Friday the 24th of March at the Tap Gallery, 1/259 Riley street in Surry Hills
6 – 8 pm for the reception of ‘Burning Of The Woman’

MEET THE ARTIST TUESDAY 14TH FEBRUARY AT 6PM

FLOOR TALK SATURDAY 18 FEB 3-5PM

Franc Hancock Sydney World Pride
My large scale Ink Works on Paper are created outdoors on the ground and utilise wind and water in their creation. I use Sumi Ink which is an ancient Asian medium made from lamp soot. The paper is immersed in water and areas are lifted free to apply the ink. The images created partially mirror the ground beneath so the works become a documentation of place as well as time. The works are created from multiple layers of ink and there can be up to fifty layers of ink in areas. Despite the highly decorative surface I produce I am a minimalist choosing to remove my ‘hand’ from the creation. I do not directly touch the paper relying on wind to deposit the ink. Sumi Ink has inherent abilities and each work aims to display the dynamics of the ink rather than my hand.
Until my 50’s I worked in horticulture and landscaping. Health issues lead me to a career change and I went through the TAFE system to achieve my Fine Arts Diploma in 2009. Since then I have exhibited in the Regional Gallery circuit in NSW.
