Ingots of Liquid Light: by Kathy Smith, Stephen X. Arthur and Robin Bartholick

Tamarind Art Council is excited to present “Ingots of Liquid Light”, a group exhibition showcasing astonishing animations from Australia and Canada, directed by Kathy Smith and Stephen X. Arthur, along with digital prints created by US based photographer Robin Bartholick. Smith, using her own paintings, and Arthur using Jack Shadbolt’s paintings, deconstruct, reassemble and animate the imagery in a non-linear narrative. Arthur and Smith both delve deep into the human mind, to animate dreamlike imagery within the subconscious. The selected animations are DELIRIUM and Indefinable Moods by Kathy Smith and Transfigured by Stephen X. Arthur. Digital stills and original oil on cell as well as paper and canvas board from the artists will also be on display. Robin Bartholick’s photography incorporates the accessibility of commercial art with the timelessness of fine art. Each photo is meticulously assembled from several photographs and reworked in Photoshop to create a single cohesive image, resulting in the seamless manifestation of Bartholick’s surreal imagination. The aim of this exhibition is to illuminate perceptual and cognitive process which is integral to artistic practice and to convey the mystery of time and existence thru still and moving images, sound and surreal collage maps.
