‘In The Still’ Group Exhibition at Arthouse Gallery Sydney.

‘In the Still’ is Arthouse Gallery’s featured show for Art Month Sydney 2015, presenting a dynamic collection of interdisciplinary works by both Resident & Guest Artists reinvigorating and recalibrating the tradition of the still life, or nature morte. The exhibition features a diverse spread of works by eleven contemporary artists – Fraser Anderson, Craig Waddell, Dean Home, Leah Fraser, Heidi Yardley, Laura Jones, Kirra Jamison, Miranda Skoczek, Susan Baird, Kendal Murray and John Baird.

Drawing on a tradition ripe with symbolic currency, each artist interprets the conventional mode of the still life in creative and complex ways. From the abstract to the figurative, the works collectively cultivate a dialogue between the aesthetic and the conceptual. Revealing the contemporary elasticity of this historical artistic genre, the artists convey how the notion of life ‘in the still’ can be anything from a living moment, a revenant mnemonic trace or a distant dream.

Exhibition runs from 26 February – 22 March 2015
Arthouse Gallery / 66 McLachlan Avenue, Rushcutters Bay NSW 2011
