"The talented thespian has the gift of observation and mimicry. Like a male Lyrebird they will dazzle and dance to perform a distraction from the truth or focus towards the truth. The Lyrebird knows how to change his tune in order to get what he wants." – DEAN REILLY  ​ '​Young Poet' 152 x 101.5cm, 155 x 104.5cm framedacrylic on canvas $4,200.00 ​ ​​

EXHBITION OPENING EVENT – DEAN REILLY 5 – 7pm Friday 9th September ​ ​ ​"In the early 1940s Australian art and culture experienced growing pains, the colonial romantic yearnings and conquest of land had been expressed in lavish romantic colonial paintings and bush ballads for over half a century. Yet, the urbanised reality unfolding with modernity and progress was forming a new perception of landscape, a tension between space and the meaning of place. I can still see and feel these beautiful yet absurd tensions unfolding today, and this is what I try to express through my art" – DEAN REILLY  ​ ​Young Poet 152 x 101.5cm, 155 x 104.5cm framed acrylic on canvas $4,200.00 ​ ​​

"Arrente art is concerned with story, ancestral connection, the dreamtime as concept which envelopes time, the past, the present and the future. I have come to learn through my academic study that the landscape is represented by our internalised feelings and memories towards the landscape. A constant theme in all Indigenous cultures is that their landscape views are based in nature, as part of us, within us, and around us. Western perceptions of land on the other hand position the landscape as the other and the outer, a site to be developed, exploited, and experienced. As a little boy growing up on the land I was constantly evolving within a combination of fear and wonder. The unfolding landscape was filled with forms of heroes and villains contained within nature, seasons, and time. This was and still is providing me with the essential ingredients of connection and experience. My experience of land was not that of conquest, violence, tragedy, or despair yet it existed upon it."-DEAN REILLY ​ ​Solo Exhibition Opens September 9th from 5-7pm.
