April - 'It's All About You', Adrienne Doig

29/4/2022

 
At our last meeting on Monday 4th April, we enjoyed an exhibition in the Bennett Gallery of the work of Adrienne Doig entitled It’s All About You.

This exhibition featured several forms of Art - Painting. Embroidery. Sculpting. Video. Doll Making. Collage. In other words, Adrienne Doig works in many mediums.

One wall of the Gallery was devoted to smallish paintings on cardboard of various things that have happened to her and sees her in various situations both every day and important. Mundane and significant. When you study this wall, you think that she must have just about exhausted all that has happened to her, but in reality, it probably only just scratches the surface and there are much more paintings to be done before she is finished with this project.

Her exhibition has the title It's All About Me and Adrienne freely admits that this is what her work is all about. It’s all about her. 

The ultimate outcome is that she is assembling her biography through Art.

Adrienne grew up in Wangaratta.  So, we can claim her as a semi local.

Join us at the Benalla Art Gallery on Monday 2 May at 10 am for an introduction to the new exhibition, ACTS I-VII, by members of the Oculi Collective.  Oculi, a collective of 18 fine-art and documentary photographers, has been the leading influence in photographic documentary practice in Australia since 2000.

Ivan Durrant's 'To Kill a Mockingbird'

1/4/2022

 
Picture
At our last Art appreciation meeting we listened to Ivan Durrant talk about a painting he has on display in the Gallery. Ivan is always an entertaining speaker and is always willing to explain his passion for Art.  The painting in question is of two backpackers lying on a beach and entitled ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’.

In question time he was prevailed upon to make some comments about his reaction to his recent retrospective held at the National Gallery of Victoria.

Ivan has had a long and varied career in Art and a long association with this region.
​It is worth noting that the Gallery has a wonderful exhibition on at the moment in the Ledger Gallery.  A large number of Gallery owned works have been brought out and put on display. 

The Benalla Art Gallery is well worth a visit. 

Join us on Monday April 4th at 10 am for the ‘First Mondays’ artist talk by Adrienne Doig, which will close her stunning exhibition, It’s all about me!

Coming up on March 7 -  'Ivan Durrant - artist talk'

2/3/2022

 
Join us on the first Monday in March for an artist talk by Ivan Durrant. The talk coincides with the presentation of Durrant’s work, To kill a mockingbird (Backpackers) within the current Collection exhibition, The Human Figure.

Durrant’s talk will discuss the work specifically, how it fits within his broader practice, as well more recent achievements such as his momentous National Gallery of Victoria survey exhibition, Barrier Draw, staged in 2021.

Monday 7 March, 10-11AM
Registration essential: T 03 5760 2619 or gallery@benalla.vic.gov.au
Cost: $2

February - 'My Father's Garden', Anna White

27/2/2022

 
At our last well attended meeting at the Benalla Art Gallery we listened to a lecture from Anna White titled My Father's Garden. Anna is a local Artist who we hope will agree to talk to us again in the future.

Anna showed a short film actually shot in her Father's Garden with her doing a dance in the modern idiom. The film had extracts of what it was like after the last bush fire and the degree that the plants and trees can revegetate.

Anna also explained her development as a painter and her interest in colour and technique. She showed various examples of her paintings. Some of these paintings were done using an unusual method of putting paper down over paint already applied to canvas and the resultant paper after being peeled off becoming the work of art.

The session finished up with a vigorous question and answer period.

Our 'First Monday' for 2022 - 'In my father's garden' - Anna Smith

29/1/2022

 
At our ‘First Monday’ session at the Benalla Art Gallery on 7th February from 10 to 11 am we will view a screening of Anna White’s recent film project, In my father’s garden, and hear Anna speak about her multidisciplinary art practice.  Anna is a Melbourne based artist with a PhD in Fine Art from Monash University (2015), and has been the recipient of and finalist in numerous notable awards.

"Speaking about In my father’s garden, White says, “In May and June 2020 I spent time with my 87 year old father in his garden in the Strathbogie ranges in Victoria. This video captures this time. It represents the culmination of a lifelong relationship with my father and with his garden, that has been an inspiration for my artistic practice.” In my father’s garden was her first video work, a self-taught piece resulting from a City of Melbourne COVID-19 Quick Response Grant...

In my father’s garden is a poetic exploration of family, human connection, the impacts of COVID-19, creative expression, lifelong learning, and a love of gardens, and as such bridges the themes of Benalla’s most recent Collection exhibitions, Re-gathering and Re-generation."*
​
Registration: T 03 5760 2619 or gallery@benalla.vic.gov.au   Cost: $2
Join us after the session for coffee at the Gallery’s Munro and Sargeant café.

One-off time change when 'First Monday' at the Gallery resumes

4/12/2021

 
​We are able to go ahead with ‘First Mondays’ on Monday 6th December.  However, there is a ‘one-off’ time change in December due to the artist’s availability that day.   Our catch up for coffee will start from 10 am, while the session will run from 11am – 12pm in the Bennett Gallery.  The café will not be open, however an urn will be available from 10 am, providing a chance for us to have a coffee and chat before the session. 
​At 11 am artist, Nick Selenitsch will speak about his latest exhibition, Form & the Universe of Colour.  The exhibition brings together a collection of recent works and an ambitious new project specifically developed for Benalla Art Gallery. Thematically, the exhibition focuses on the most basic of artistic characteristics: Form and Colour. Works from recent solo exhibitions & (2020) and The Nature of Things (2016) will be presented alongside a site-specific chalk drawing, Ο.  Ο will consist of several large single-colour circles executed by the artist and members of the community. Visitors to the exhibition will be asked to participate in the making of the work – essentially a large-scale colouring-in project. 

Let the Benalla Art Gallery know if you would like to book into the session by phoning or emailing them -  03 5760 2619 or gallery@benalla.vic.gov.au  Price $2.  Attendees will need proof of double vaccination.

Art Appreciation - we look forward to meeting in December!

30/10/2021

 
There will be no ‘First Monday’ sessions at the Benalla Gallery in November.  No session has been advertised on the Gallery’s website. 

Keep an eye on the Gallery website for details of December’s ‘First Monday’ session. 

​Hopefully Art Appreciation group members will be able to meet in December and once again enjoy a post session follow up catch up at the gallery’s café. 

While public programs have been cancelled, it is still possible to visit exhibitions inside the gallery!

1/10/2021

 
The Benalla Art Gallery cancelled its September ‘First Mondays’ public program, ‘The other web’, with Kim Westcott, following the State Government’s announcement of lockdown throughout regional Victoria, effective from Saturday 21 August at 1pm.  No session has been scheduled for October 4th, and there is usually no session on the first Monday of November.  Hopefully a last session for 2021 can be scheduled in early December.

In the meantime, it is possible to visit the many interesting exhibitions inside the gallery!  Check in using QR codes at the Gallery entrance - if you do not have a smart phone, please speak with reception for assistance checking in.  Masks must be worn inside the venue. Capacity limits apply and are signed throughout the building.  Please maintain physical distance from other patrons where possible, including while in exhibition spaces, queuing at reception, and throughout Munro & Sargeant café.

March - 'The Mountain's Quiet Heart' - Phillip Edwards

4/4/2020

 
Picture

In early March we were fortunate to be able to listen to and question Phillip Edwards who had an exhibition of water colour/mixed media paintings showing the ecology and geography of Mount Buffalo entitled The Mountain's Quiet Heart on display. 

Mount Buffalo in the winter has its own special attractions and beauty and Phillip has managed to capture the ecology quite well.  These water colour/mixed media paintings have been skillfully produced and do not look like normal water colours. Most are painted with wide brushes and thick paint. The colours are realistic rather than romantic.

Phillip told us something of his private life, how he currently finances his art - and his previous career and history.  This exhibition was well worth seeing.

While the gallery is closed until further notice, a virtual tour of The Mountain's Quiet Heart is currently available on the Benalla Art Gallery's website. 

​We thank Eric Nash for organising our meeting.

February - 'Danila Vassillief' - Eric Nash

4/3/2020

 
Picture
On Monday 3 February we were welcomed by the Benalla Art Gallery's new Director Eric Nash.

Eric introduced himself and expanded on his hopes and dreams for the gallery. He advised how the Gallery has been digitally recording unframed prints and paintings and showed us one painting held in the gallery’s archives by Russian Painter Danila Vassilieff who spent some time in Australia in the middle 20th century.  He also showed us other examples of this artist’s work and explained his influence on several Australian Artists.
​
We thank Eric for his efforts and look forward to the March ‘First Monday’ where he has organised a lecture by the artist Phillip Edwards who has a number of paintings of Mount Buffalo in the Simpson Gallery.

October - 'Working the Land' - rural life in the colonial era

25/10/2019

 
In early October we listened to an enjoyable lecture by Meredith on the ‘Working the Land’ exhibition in the Simpson Gallery.  All artworks in this show are out of the Galleries own archives. Some have been recently framed and have never been on show before.

The ‘Working the Land’ exhibition, which mostly highlights rural life in the colonial era, is well worth attending.  The paintings are of high quality and full of interest. 

​There will be no 'First Mondays' session in the the Gallery on the Cup long weekend. The December talk will run as usual on Monday 2nd December, 10am - Eliza-Jane Gilchrist,  Strange Garden, in the Simpson Gallery.
​
Neville Gibb

Coming up  - 'Working the Land' (October) and  'Strange Garden' (December)

1/10/2019

 
We have received news from Shanley that the Gallery will not be running a U3A/First Mondays talk on Monday 4th November.   This is due to the long weekend, Melbourne Cup Day being Tuesday 5th November.

The December talk will run as usual on Monday 2nd December, 10am: Eliza-Jane Gilchrist,  Strange Garden, in the Simpson Gallery.

Meredith Paez will remind members at the next First Mondays talk on Monday 7th October, when she will be speaking about the exhibition Working the Land, in the Simpson Gallery.  The paintings in this exhibition are historically and culturally diverse but all share a common thread – men and women working the land.

For members keen to come along as a ‘taster’ in October or December, our long running Art Appreciation sessions have been incorporated into the Gallery’s First Mondays sessions held at the Library - cost $2.  Members often get together in the gallery’s café for a coffee after the session.   All welcome.

August - 'Colours of Country' The Benalla Art Gallery Collection

25/8/2019

 
On Monday 5th August we listened to an informative lecture by Meridith from the Gallery on the current set of paintings in the Bennett Gallery.

These largish paintings are all from the Gallery's own collection and were curated by Bryony before she left.

All these paintings are by Australian Artists some indigenous and some non indigenous. All depict some semblance of landscape. Some realistic - some indicative. Sharpening the Spears could fall into this category and Incendiary Structure could also be classed as a landscape even though neither have elements of landscape in them.

Meridith's lecture was extremely thought provoking and detailed. We thank her for providing an enjoyable morning.

July - 'Personal Histories' - Yhonnie Scarce

30/7/2019

 
At our last Art Appreciation gathering we listened to a lecture by Artist and Curator Yhonnie Scarce.

Yhonnie explained her intention of illustrating her perceptions of what methods the Colonial Powers used to keep the Indigenous people submissive. She has researched her family history and has used glass to record their various experiences. In particular she has portraits of several close relatives inside glass.

​Other glass sculptures portray embryos on stainless steel hospital trolleys. There is also a large scale photo of the child section of the Woomera Cemetry showing the high incidence of Indigenous children interred there.

Yhonnie was born in Woomera, South Australia, and belongs to the Kokatha and Nukunu peoples. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from Monash University.
​
Yhonnie describes her work as ‘politically motivated and emotionally driven’ and incorporates her personal histories and research with artefacts from the past.

The U3A Group has now settled in to the new arrangement with the Gallery in which the sessions are advertised to and attended by the general public as well as U3A.  

Members of the group are reminded that the session in July has been altered to 8 July - hopefully you will have all seen this message and can attend.

March - 'Portraits in the Simpson Gallery'

30/3/2019

 
​At our March meeting we were given a lecture by Bryony on portraits in the Simpson Gallery.
Bryony concentrated on the two portraits of Henry Johnson and Caroline Johnson by Joseph Backler.

Unfortunately not much is known about Henry and Caroline Johnson - were they husband and wife or brother and sister for instance? A quick check of NSW historical records does not throw up any information. As the paintings were done before the Gold Rush it is unfortunate that nothing is known of the figures as they could have been significant members of the small community.

However we do know something of the Artist Joseph Backler. Joseph was an ex convict who after his ticket of leave was granted made his living as an artist. Convicted of being a forger he was transported to Sydney and during his early years in Australia suffered further heavy punishment because he was suspected of further forging activities. But even when he was on Norfolk Island he managed to do several paintings. He was not an Artist who mingled with the art crowd in Sydney, but nevertheless a number of his paintings have survived. He travelled around the colony with a handcart carrying his art supplies advertising his capacity for portraits. His portraits concentrated on showing details of the face and leaving the rest of the portrait with general impressions. It could be that he used props to fill in details of clothes etc. However his portraits do show a certain amount of character and appear to make no attempt to improve the beauty or otherwise of the sitters.

Elsewhere there are other portraits by Clifton Pugh and Albert Tucker that are worth viewing and are valuable assets of the Gallery.

Art Appreciation - February - 'Colouring Lake Mokoan'

25/2/2019

 
Ivan Durrant spoke to our group about his latest exhibition. Colouring Lake Mokoan, on display until March 3rd at the Benalla Regional Gallery. These restored local wetlands, formerly the Winton Wetlands, are now cycling through their natural periods of dry and wet.

Ivan talked about his childhood fascination with water and reflections and his ability to see glowing colors in the landscape. He became very familiar with Lake Mokoan when living in Benalla and visiting friends who lived by the lake.
​This exhibition brings these influences together in shimmering displays of reflections, water and sunsets, all reimagined by the artist. Ivan talked about his love of color and his technique for
creating the lost edges of the abstract shapes that bring this landscape to life. His paints and brushes are on display too–a colored confection of the artist at work. Well worth a visit. You will never look at Lake Mokoan in the same way again.
