now showing > mark hammon

With a lithographic background spanning 18 years, Mark has an acute ability to use colour with both a meticulous and creative attention to detail.

Understanding colour and its creative possibilities is Mark’s self-confessed obsession.  Mark is frequently inspired by photos, colour schemes, music, lyrics, indigenous art and culture, street art, and observations of human interaction.  From this he formulates multiple ideas, sometimes ‘playing’ with them for years, until he is ready to commit them to a piece of tangible art.

Technology is an integral part of art and society, however although Mark is proficient in its use lithographically, he prefers to use original methods and techniques artistically.  Detecting the originality in a single piece of art is paramount to Mark’s process.  Mark wants you to be able to see that each one of his works has been created by human hands.

The craft, diligence, research, skill, and time invested in making each piece of art is what Mark enjoys doing the most.  Mark gets immense satisfaction from creating his art with a free, expressive, and unrestriced mindset.  Mark doesn’t box himself in within one particular style.  Instead he works in many mediums, always experimenting with old and new techniques.  One day he is designing a child’s bedroom mural, the next he is creating a thematic exhibition, and in between he is designing tattoos for private clients.

Commissions motivate me Mark to create a work of desire, personal to the client, that is enjoyed and inspiring.  Each piece of Mark’s artwork is representative of his need to put a little bit of himself into the result.

“I become bored easily doing one style of art, and usually have multiple projects on the go to keep interested’ – Mark Hammon

Mark has five artworks on display and for sale at one hundredth gallery until 26 June 2011.

now showing > brian mangano

Growing up in north western Victoria near Swan Hill, Brian Mangano exhibited a natural eye for capturing cityscapes and landscapes.  He keeps some photographs taken with his MZ-30 in his desk drawer to remind him where he came from.  Just before his 18th birthday, he left home and began a journey that lead him to Melbourne two and a half years later; looking for work and stumbling into the corporate lifestyle.

Some nine years after moving to Melbourne, Brian decided it was time to escape the corporate slave trade and get back to the place he enjoyed being most; behind the camera.  Somewhat reluctantly he purchased his first digital SLR, and then another.  He keeps the MZ-30 in his bag loaded with black and white film and a nifty 50 attached.  Just in case.

Brian is now on a new journey, camera in hand and suits donated to Vinnie’s, establishing himself as a photographer and artist.  Combining the technologies of the digital age with his naturally creative eye, contemporary landscape and cityscape photography is being merged with High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging to produce some truly spectacular work.

Bucking the trend of idolising photographers and artist from afar, Brian Mangano cites John Williamson as a major influence on his current work.  “Most people my age are keen to get out of this place and look at what the rest of the world has to offer, but there’s so much beauty and wonder right under their noses.  He sings about it what a great Country we live in, and I hope capture it at least half as brilliantly.  Maybe even a few of my generation will take some time to have a look at it themselves one day.”

Brian has eight artworks on display and for sale at one hundredth gallery until 26 June 2011.

now showing > janicke johansen

Janicke Johansen is a practising artist and designer with many years of study in both the Arts and Design Industries including a Visual Arts Degree and certificates in Interior Design and Desktop Publishing. She is also currently working part time as a primary teacher.

Janicke’s work is interpretive and modern combining textures, patterns and intense colours to create emotive responses to her immediate environment and emotional memory. There are recurring themes such as people, buildings scapes, flora and fauna that emerge from her work, often with a quirky and childlike innocence about them.

With concerns about current environmental issues, Janicke is determined to limit her impact on the earth by reducing, reusing and recycling resources such as water, paper and electricity.  Her ambition is to continue to limit further environmental impact and to pass on this message to current and future artists.

Janicke has four artworks on display and for sale at one hundredth gallery until 26 June 2011.

now showing > mark harman

Mark has always been interested in art, colour, lines, textures and the aesthetic, having been an artist all through high school. But it wasn’t until a year backpacking overseas that he fell in love with the medium of photography. And it wasn’t until more recently that he started to become serious and dream of it as a career. He loves photography so much because of its versatility. To some it’s just a
memory prompter; to others it’s a historic record and to others art. Being able to find interest in the mundane is a challenge he enjoys.

Mark loves light and what it does: the shadows and reflections it casts, the negative and positive shapes, and the mood inherent in different times of the day. His biggest influences are the world around him; be it landscapes, colour, texture, macro, city streets, abstract urban fragments. Mark says he’s currently obsessed with Depth of Field and the beauty of bokeh, whether it helps tell a story by focusing the viewer’s attention or simply creates a smooth and silky background. He currently resides in Melbourne and loves the city for its art and sculptures.  He has also become obsessed with Japan after numerous visits, and the photographic opportunities that abound in a country obsessed with the aesthetic as well.

Mark has four artworks on display and for sale at one hundredth gallery until 26 June 2011.

introducing matthew bright

Today we are very excited to open something new; something that you may have not seen before!  Today we open an online exhibition by physicist and aspiring artist, Matthew Bright.

Matthew’s first exhibition with one hundredth gallery is titled ‘Evolution of Shape’.

Matthew’s aim in the ‘Evolution of Shape’ is to elaborate on the fundamental geometry that has alluded and guided the big thinkers over the past three millennia to stand where they do and to bring together an image of the mechanisms of the universe, including sub-atomic particles, electromagnetism, radiation, gravity and light which persist contiguously and turbulently through an infinity of space.

Matthew online exhibition and biography can be found on the CURRENT EXHIBITIONS tab above, or by clicking here.
