DEAN REILLY'S Solo Exhibition 'The Landscape is Beyond Me' is on now until September 30th. "In Australia, space and place stage stories torn between absurdity and beauty, the knowable and unknowable, and the sublime. My experience towards landscape comes from my internal feelings and experiences of country through observation, study, and from the dreams I had as a little boy growing up on the land. Landscape can be viewed as a majestic natural garden, a wild mongrel scrub or sacred country, for me however, landscape represents a strange combination, torn between the heroic and the absurd. I think it is the absolute hopelessness of the situation that we can find joy, connection and hope in the landscape that is beyond me." – DEAN REILLY #birdpainting

"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 great gold rush has never really ended it has just become corporatized, legalised, monopolised, justified and naturalised. Fly into the heart of Australia and you will see men in uniform moving about in airports, to go and dig up the earth to provide security and pleasure for their families." – DEAN REILLY 'Gold 1'- 51 x 40.5cm, 54 x 43.5cm framed acrylic on canvas $ 1,400.00

“Growing up in a typical suburban Australian home in the 70’s, my first experience with paint was working with my father on the house. I recall my father painting a green figure on the side of a box with paint oozing onto the ground. This moment sat in my mind for years"- BRENDAN KELLY 'Salamander Sally' 120 x 120cm x 5cm acrylic and charcoal on plywood #trafficjamgalleries

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.
