Out of the Dark – Into the Light

Overview

As far as dichotomies go, there are few as powerful — or as simple — as the opposition of dark and light.

Californian watercolour artist Rex Brandt once said: “We see light, not dark. But it is in the dark that we feel goblins and ghosts.” This quote is the inspiration behind Out of the Dark — Into the Light, a group exhibition with six artists (Noeline Lee, Claire Goodall, Emily Devine, Domenica Hoare, Nadja Kabriel, and Natasha Weller), whose conversations about this topic have been carried out in their work. Through prints, paintings, sculpture and more, the artists explore both the physical and the metaphorical relationship between light and dark, and the various emotions and fears the two states inspire.

Out of the dark — into the Light exhibits at The Hold Artspace from 2 to 6 September, with an opening night event on Friday 4 September.
