Overview

Jono Gooley's upcoming exhibition, The Skull of the Unknown Sheep, gives us an intimate and varied glimpse at the process of making art. The subject, a desiccated sheep's skull, is rendered over and over from different angles and with different mediums to evoke a sense of artistic progression and multiplicity.

Gooley is a Melbourne-based artist and graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts, who generally creates large-scale oil and airbrush portraits. However, The Skull of the Unknown Sheep shows Gooley experimenting with various mediums, including soft pastels, Copic markers, watercolours, graphite and charcoal, as well as some sculptural works (check out his process in this time-lapse video).

The exhibition opens on Sunday, June 26 with a viewing and performances from Yakini, The Gaza Stripper and Dhana Bhutan from 4-8pm. The gallery will also be open from 11am till 5pm on June 27 and 28.
