Lyndal Hargrave: New Geometricks

It's not a sailboat.

Overview

Abstract imagery, geometric patterns, and pieces that seduce while seeming to trick the eye: they're the domain of artist Lyndal Hargrave. Don't just take our word for it — take hers. Her first solo exhibition with Edwina Corlette Gallery is called New Geometricks, after all.

Across a range of paintings and sculptures, Hargrave plays with patterns to explore the chaos of life. As Hargrave herself explains, "my attention is drawn to order and variation within this structure — from the nestled hexagons of a beehive to the microscopic grandeur of a butterfly’s wing”.

It might sound a little like those magic eye images that were all the rage back in the '90s, but they've got nothing on the creativity and hypnotic pull on display here. Just try not to spend too long looking at any one piece, Mallrats style — perhaps by hobnobbing and hanging out at the official opening on February 13.
