541 Art Space presents the work of artist Omar Viglino in the exhibition, Last Farewell.

For all of us, there will come a moment in which we must offer “The Last Farewell”. A moment in which we must acknowledge the existential emptiness that was once filled by a person dear to us. A person who has represented an important part of our lives, who has accompanied us in important moments, in the good and in the evil, and that now we are lacking.

These are both foreseen and unforeseeable moments as time passes and a once concrete existence succumbs to the “disappearance” of those who were previously were and are now no longer. Those who can be forgotten through the flood of generations. Those who we allow to enter the human myth that contains our sacred explanation of ‘why?’.

Show Run: 5th -16th November 2019
Opening: 6-8pm, Friday 8th November, 2019

Opening night - INVITATION ONLY
541 Art Space presents the work of painter He Zige in the exhibition, Beyond the Light. This is a contemporary art exhibition that blends life and nature, east and west, philosophy and belief.

“What is light? When light shines into reality, there comes colour, when it shines into the heart, therecomes hope. Light is like a belief that can sanctify life. Beyond the Light refers to an existing supreme and abstract state that transcends sanctification and solemnisation” the painter attempts from this perspective to examine the world and search for the truth of art and life.

He Zige’s brush effortlessly brings onto canvas gorgeous and elegant colour fusions and skilfully blends the abstractions from contemporary western art and traditional oriental art, making his artwork unique. With a sincere and innocent heart, he expresses deep emotions for life on canvas, which also reflects his thoughts on Chán (the Chinese precursor of Zen Buddhism).

“I wish to travel through the painting with audience together” said He, hence we are invited to this art feast to absorb ourselves in his canvas and find our inner “light”.

Show Run: 28 June - 9 July 2019

541 Art Space presents the work of painter Alexandra Karpin in the exhibition, In my Mind’s Eye. This unique show aims to interrogate a moment in time, portraying Karpin’s experience of memories and their associated emotions in relation to public and private spaces. These themes are addressed in the environment of her paintings through her use of colours, patterns and textures.

Based in Sydney, Karpin has completed two Bachelors in Fine Arts and Arts, majoring in Painting, Screen Printing, Political Science and History. She then went on to achieve a Masters of Fine Arts from the University of New South Wales, and a Graduate Diploma of Education. She has exhibited in group and solo shows, and was awarded the Moyra Dyring Studio Scholarship in Paris.

Within this exhibition she uses her paintings to examine the human condition of age and mortality, examining the extent to which these environments of awareness become increasingly oppressive and cloistered for an individual as time passes. She uses her works as vehicles to recapture the depth of beauty that can be found in her changing perception, looking at her memory through the lens of experience.

She stated that “I cannot simply view these environments as physical but rather as elements that I impact and which impact me in return”.

Show Run: 23 May – 6 June 2019

AddOn

AddOn is a non-competitive, anonymous, photographic exhibition curated by Charles McKean and Festival Director Moshe Rosenzveig.

One of the core events of Head On Photo Festival, AddOn showcases a diverse and exciting range of square images, taken by more than 100 photographers spanning professionals, artists, enthusiasts, celebrities and politicians.

Shown without any titles or photographer credits, viewers interpret the images at face value and bring their own meanings to them.

After the exhibition, every participant will receive one print at random from the exhibition posted to them.

All funds received through the entry fees go towards staging the exhibition, and the vast range of free activities Head On Photo Festival mounts annually.

Taken
The Taken exhibition, produced by Belinda Mason, uses photography to create photographic, sculptural and 3D works that are ‘internal’ portraits of the project participants. The power of this project lies within the stories shared by the fifteen participants from across our nation. For them the project provides recognition that they are not isolated in their experiences.

Artist Bio:

Director of Blur Projects, Belinda Mason, has over 25 years of experience in both the arts and commercial photography sectors. She has conceptualised, produced and presented high-quality socio-cultural engaged art exhibitions, workshops and events for national and international audiences. Belinda has been invited to speak at professional conferences and events such as the United Nations Commission of the Status of Women in New York 2016 and 2018 at the United Nations Commission on the Rights of Persons with Disability in Geneva 2016 and World Conference on Indigenous Persons in New York in 2014, United Nations Human Council in Geneva 2013. In 2008 Belinda was the winner of the Moran, Kodak Salon and Human Rights Photography awards.

Untitled and Unfinished

“You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with” – Jim Rohn.

You’ve heard it more times than you can count, but is there any truth in it?

Many photographers work in isolation and miss out on feedback in a relaxed and supportive environment. We started in 2010 as a mutual support group for personal photo-based projects in progress. We met monthly at a Sydney pub to talk photography and look at prints over a few drinks.

Developed together is only the second time we have been able to exhibit alongside each other. We all have our own unique artistic voice, but we would not have been able to develop this voice without each other.

Artists:

Brent Winstone, Derby Chang, Dillon Mak, Franky Tsang, Gerrit Fokkema, Godelieve Mols, Lyndal Irons, Michaela Skovranova, Stephanie Simcox, Stephen Godfrey and Timothy Harland.

- TAKEN : visual stories of adult survivors of child sexual abuse
The Taken exhibition is not 2D photographs on paper. Belinda uses photography to create photographic sculptural and 3D works that are 'internal’ portraits of the participants. The power of this project lies within the stories shared by the fifteen participants from across our nation, who are just some of our Forgotten Australians. These participants were vulnerable children when they were subjected to child abuse. This abuse was perpetrated by those who were supposed to care for and protect them from harm. Abuse which cannot be forgotten and continues to harm them to this day. Through this project participants have the opportunity to share their stories of violence, in an unquestioning way, and in doing so, make the personal political. Each of the participants courageously shares their experiences to provide a deeply moving testament to its impact on their lives, and the lives of those around them. For each person in the project, there are many more whose stories and lives that are invisible. For them the project provides recognition that they are not isolated in their experiences.
