for everyone new to art
The Age, Friday 16 September 2011
Weekend Shopper – Page 16, Ethereal Imagery
NB. The quoted price is a misprint as the price for these prints has not yet been set.
See it in real life from Wednesday 21 September as a part of our photography exhibition.
Before I get into that, we will be closed this weekend (Friday 16/9 – Sunday 18/9) in preparation for our next exhibition. It’s an all-photography show by 6 artists and starts on Wednesday 21/9; with the opening night on Friday 23/9 at 6.30pm. You’re all welcome!
Now, back to the question at hand. Do you want your own gallery to run for a week, two, three or four? Pop-up style?
I won’t be around in January so I’m looking for artists/curators that I can hand the gallery keys to. Not just to look after, but to run as your very own space.
And no, it’s not for free… but it’s also not at our normal rates! For $550 per week you can have all 30.7 metres of hanging space and 50sqm of floor space for yourself, a group, or to curate a show on behalf of other artists.
That’s less than half of what you would pay for a pop-up space in Prahran, and only a third of our normal rates!
I’ll give you the keys and the alarm code and the rest will be up to you… the full end-to-end running of the gallery. You will have the option of opening our standard hours or whenever you want to (between our permitted hours) 7 days per week.
If you are an aspiring or emerging artist or curator, why not start 2012 by meeting your new year’s resolution in the very first month of the year?!
Please call me on 0413 00 1234 or email me at charles@100thgallery.com to discuss further. As one hundredth gallery is still my baby, only the best submission/s will be considered. Preference will be given to artists and curators that have not exhibited before.
Please express your interest asap, as this offer is on a first come/first served basis. To give everyone enough time I’d like to make a final decision by 31 October.
by Keith Melder, Christopher Smith, Morgana Creely, Jeff Paine, Natalie Morawski, and Alana Aphoy.
We are thrilled to present our first ever all-photography exhibition at one hundredth gallery. More than just being recognised as a fine-art form, photography is leading the way in new media when
it comes to art.
Between 21 September and 2 October, we will have over 40 works on display by six artists.
Keith Melder is an international award winning photographer. He is the recipient of the international 2011 CannesLions / CannesAlso photography award judged by celebrated photographer Rankin.
Morgana Creely’s images explore her own private vision of what lies in the shadows and in the light. With each image Morgana strives to capture a moment in a story; a single movie image.
Jeff Paine regularly shoots freelance projects in areas such as fashion and beauty, portraiture, fine art and alternative, and instructs lighting workshops at ShutterClass Studios.
Christopher Smith also regularly shoots freelance projects in areas such as fashion and beauty, portraiture, fine art and alternative, as well as landscape.
Alana Aphoy has been producing work for private collectors both in Australia and in France. This is her ninth exhibition.
Natalie Morawski’s work encompasses simplicity and curiosity. Natalie has been awarded Silver and Silver distinction in both the 2011 AIPP Victorian Epson Professional Photography Awards (VPPY) and the 2011 Australian Professional Photography Awards (APPA).

We are pleased to announce that our Abstract Expressionism exhibition by Colin Topp and Rachel Buse has been extended until this Sunday 11 September.
This means that you still have a week to come along to the galery and explore over 30 artworks by these wonderful artists!
We’re open 11am – 7pm Wednesday to Friday, and 12pm – 5pm Saturday and Sunday, and are located at 49 Porter Street, Prahran.
…that was supposed to be in todays Melbourne Weekly Magazine. I’m still waiting to hear from them as to why it wasn’t.
We are very excited to be currently exhibiting paintings by Colin Topp!
Colin builds up an image / shape / colour in his mind, and then releases it onto the canvas in an outpouring of energy and emotion. The colours are overlayed and interwoven to produce a canopy that depicts the raw Australian land.
The final outcome is not always what was originally conceived but it is a subconscious expression of his thoughts and feelings and how he sees the image in his mind. The process will be repeated until the final image reveals itself.
Colin’s art is full of emotion, energy and expression. He sees it as a journey through and around the canvas. When you look at the finished painting you see things below the surface that appear to be suspended and are not apparent at the first look.
This is part of the joy of discovery. Colin encourages people to lay their hands on the canvas to feel the texture of the surface, which only adds to the experience.
Colin’s aim is to create visual and physical stimulation for the viewer through his images.
Colin travelled to New York in the 1990?s to study the art of Abstract Expressionists and especially Jackson Pollock. He was taught how to plan and formulate a painting in his mind, how to use colour to express mood and how to harness emotion and energy to convey passion and feeling on the canvas.
Please click on the photo below to see examples of Colin’s work. Many more of Colin’s paintings are at one hundredth gallery until 4 September 2011.
P.S. The photos do not do Colin’s work justice!
We are very excited to be currently exhibiting sculptures by Rachel Buse!
In Rachel Buse’s exhibition ‘Living Vessels’, she explores the purpose of humanity, using a familiar language of the forms of ceramic pottery. Her concept stems from her personal image of God as a potter creating humanity, each for their own function in his creation.
Every part of a vessel works together to function for a purpose. When one part becomes more important than another, the vessel can’t function. If we fight against what we are made to be, we mutate ourselves from the original design. The artist, Rachel Buse, invites the viewer to contemplate themselves in the works, and their own function in the world.
Rachel Buse studied Art and Religious Studies at Concordia University, Ann Arbor, Michigan. She graduated in 2003 with a B.A. in art specializing in ceramics. That year she was chosen as the Art Department ‘Distinguished Scholar’, a title given to the top student of the department. After a period of travel, she has settled in Melbourne, become a member of the Valley Potters, and devoted herself to her art, full time.
