Superlinear

Overview

Maths and art may not seem like easy bedfellows, but don't tell that to Genine Marie Larin, Meagan Streader and Robert Andrew. The emerging Brisbane creatives have banded together to explore line as a point of movement. No, this isn't just a show filled with paintings of stripes.

Their exhibition is called Superlinear, a term that has specific mathematic significance. It describes a function that grows faster than a linear one — and is also used when a line departs from the two-dimensional plane. Think about brush strokes expanding and rushing forward, and that should give you an idea of the types of images they're working with.

Superlinear also marks the eagerly awaited relaunch of the Spiro Grace Art Rooms, Spring Hill's favourite dynamic exhibition space. What better way to rechristen a place that attempts to leap ahead of the artistic pack than with a show based on doing the same? Now that's a great creative equation.
