“I have wanted to create a body of work that resonates with being in stillness. I’ve been hibernating for the last while reflecting on my mindset. Taking time. Reprogramming.
Through the practice of painting I have been practising stillness.
In surrendering to the process of painting and to feelings of the heart and not the mind I have been able to create a body of work that resonates with the idea that if we allow ourselves to switch off from the madness around us there is a sweet stillness waiting for us in everything.” – KATHERINE WOOD’s

‘Seems Like a Good Idea at the Time’ by DEAN REILLY
“Much of our early colonial history is riddled with absurdity. Explorers doomed for failure through bad planning miscommunication and a disconnect and discomfort with the landscape. Like a fish out of water or a naked white man on a chartreuse camel, the new can sometimes appear bizarre.” – Dean Reilly

“I have come to learn that the landscape is represented by my internalised feelings drawn from experience and memories within the landscape and my landscape is littered with heroes, villains, myths and legends grounded in story.” – DEAN REILLY
Solo Exhibition on now until 30 September

“The myth becomes clear as the truth becomes clouded. The story becomes legend and begins to inform us in how we feel about our history and how we feel about ourselves as people. What we choose to believe becomes the way in which we view the world and form morality. Inspired by Nolan’s Ned Kelly series. The Bushranger is caught in a fused representation of a centaur. Here the figure is caught between the human and the animal, metaphoric for the wild and tame.” – DEAN REILLY

“The forecaster is the black cockatoo, the direction it flies and the cries it makes are symbolic of seasonal change. The stories behind the creatures of this great land underpin relationships between animals and landscape. It is through this connection that we can gain insight and meaning connected to survival itself.” – DEAN REILLY

“Morphology is concerned with the study of forms and things and it is the title of these smaller scale paintings. They are all framed within the following context of questioning.
“Who owns this landscape, do we own the landscape or does the landscape own us? How do the stories we create relate to our landscape and our history?” These are the question at the centre of the unfolding Australian narrative.” – DEAN REILLY
