introducing dawn lim

We are very excited to open our new exhibition by Dawn Lim and Chris Duffy.

The exhibition unofficially opens at 11am tomorrow (Friday 10 February 2012) and officially opens at 12pm on Saturday 11 February 2012.

You’re invited to join us on Saturday to meet Dawn and Chris in person.

Here is a little bit about Dawn Lim…

I have painted and drawn from my early childhood and have became quite proficient in realism; but I always desired to use my imagination. Whilst studying, I came upon a surrealist manifesto, which excited me because it showed me how I could get started with using my imagination. It taught me that by making marks, in colour or line on my support, things can begin to take shape in my mind and I open up a dialogue with my work. I communicate with it. I absolutely love creating in this way. I now like to see paint, behave like paint, and I like the rough, untidy, gestural, spontaneous brush strokes and the magic that comes about as I work to create a composition.

Mr. Geoff Wallace, lecturer at the University of Ballarat, has said, “You cannot paint from a vacuum,” and  I agree.  You do have to have something form in your mind to communicate with the marks, but sometimes I feel like an outsider watching what takes place and am as surprised as any one else as to what results. Picasso said that his paintings were not always thought out beforehand but that they developed as he was creating them and even then they kept on developing even after he had finished with them, in the imagination of the viewer. I agree whole heartedly with his sentiment.

Dawn’s exhibition will be open until Sunday 19 February 2012.

Tomorrow, we will introduce you to Chris Duffy.

invitation | jodie cooper | 18 january 2012

Jodie Cooper was born in 1970 in Melbourne Victoria. She was brought up in an family with her mother being a teacher in hand sculptured pottery also with other family members involved in various art forms.

She commenced her creative career in hairdressing in 1986 until 2001 when she designed and built the largest indoor play centre for children in Australia. In May 2006, Jodie followed her passion for sculpting/painting in a contemporary form. Her upbringing around sculpting has lead to the unique marriage of the two arts forms into one. Her inspiration is drawn by ‘all’ things around her, which allows her to create with such diversity.

Please join us for the opening of Jodie Cooper’s solo exhibition on Wednesday 18 January 2012.

Jodie Cooper’s solo exhibition will open on Wednesday 18 January between 6pm and 8.30pm, and the exhibition will run until Sunday 29 January 2012.

TopArts salon des refuses

Way back on 9 December 2011, we put a call out to all art students in VCE whose work wasn’t accepted into TopArts.

Unfortunately, the response wasn’t strong enough so we won’t be proceeding with an exhibition in 2012 .

We still believe it is a good idea and would love to run the exhibition in 2013, so please help us get the word out!

TopArts2013 Salon des Refuses

Are you an art student in VCE whose work wasn’t accepted into TopArts? Or do you know an art student in VCE whose work didn’t make the cut?

If there is enough interest, one hundredth gallery would like to hold a TopArts 2013 Salon des Refuses in late February 2013.

Salon des Refusés is a French for ‘exhibition of rejects’. It was generally used to describe an exhibition of works rejected by the jury of the official Paris Salon, but the term is now used widely to describe works that they may be too avant-garde for the mainstream exhibition (regardless of the venue). one hundredth gallery will sponsor this exhibition and is now calling for submissions from interested artists.

Submissions need to be no more than a page and should include a photo of the artwork along with its dimensions, details, medium etc. Submissions can be emailed to charles@100thgallery.com by 5 January 2013. If you would prefer to have a chat, please call on 0413 00 1234 or come into the gallery during any of our opening hours.

We will exhibit as many works as we can and may rotate works to provide as many new artists with an exhibition opportunity as possible.

 

The image below is of Le déjeuner sur l’herbe (The Luncheon on the Grass) by Édouard Manet. It was rejected by the Paris Salon in 1863. It now hangs in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.

want to paint an elephant?

sourced from Melbourne Zoo

Fifty elephant calves migrate to Melbourne

The streets of Melbourne will host a herd of 50 fibreglass sculptures custom-made in the shape of Melbourne Zoo’s famous Asian Elephant calf, Mali, as a major community event on Melbourne Zoo’s 150th birthday celebration calendar.

In August and September 2012, the life-sized sculptures will transform the city’s streets, parks, and public spaces into an open-air  visual extravaganza of colourful stories, art, and creativity.

Melbourne Zoo Director Kevin Tanner said the Zoo was calling on Melbourne’s business community to be part of the Mali in the City event by sponsoring a Mali sculpture.

“Come August, we will be locating 50 Malis throughout the City in celebration of our 150th year and to spread the word about why it is so important that we save animals from extinction,” Mr Tanner said.

The custom-designed herd of Malis will be on display throughout the City for 6 weeks. At the end of the year, the Malis will be auctioned, with all proceeds going to the Zoo’s conservation work to fight the extinction of animals in Australia and overseas.

From April 2012, sponsors will be able to select from the submitted designs, or they can even choose to commission their preferred artist. Sponsorships are $5,000 for a designed Mali or $4,500 for sponsors who wish to arrange their own artists.

Mr Tanner has also called on artists to be part of the project by putting forward their designs for the Malis.

“Each fibreglass elephant is a blank 3D canvas, and we want artists to create innovative, inspiring and environmentally conscious designs to grace our herd of Malis.”

The Zoo is delighted to announce that renowned Australian artist David Bromley will paint two sculptures and also serve as the Mali in the City Art Patron.

From now until the 16 April 2012 artists can submit designs, with successful submissions being commissioned in May 2012.

one hundredth gallery will reopen on Thursday 5 January with ‘Utter Silence‘ by Simon O’Carrigan (Australia), Maria Ester Pena (Colombia), Gillian Warden (Australia), and Maria Antonietta Bevilacqua (Italy).

 

Wishing you a happy, healthy, and safe New Year!

merging fashion & art

one hundredth gallery is all about exhibiting aspiring and emerging artists, regardless of their craft or medium.

Tonight we open a showcase by fashion labels Bento and Edenborough Evans.

Bento was born in 2010 from the idea that all fashion didn’t have to be throwaway and fashion forward. Effortless, timeless and enduring, Bento is built on the principle of style that has longevity – both in terms of design and quality. Each and every Bento piece goes from concept to completion within 20km of their studio in Melbourne, Australia.

Edenborough Evans welds art with fashion. Appealing equally to clients such as the National Gallery of Victoria, Marie Claire magazine and celebrity fashionista Ruby Rose, the brand blends opulent Florentine design with Melbourne street style.

The showcase will be open to the public this Friday and Saturday (the 9th and 10th of December). Both labels are offering 20% off current season stock.

Where – one hundredth gallery, 49 Porter Street Prahran
When – Friday 9 December from 11am and Saturday 10 December from noon

The showcase will be held amongst our current exhibition, ‘Colour Study’ by Tony Edelman and Tina Alesi.
