Onespace is proud to present Fairground, Ham Darroch’s first solo exhibition in Brisbane.
This selection of paintings and sculptures derives from the artist’s deep interest in the visual tradition of hard-edge abstraction of the 1960s and 70s, and of incorporating a phenomenological sense of dynamism within a pictorial space through geometry, tone, perspective and scale.
His creative output is driven by an unwavering intellectual curiosity, rich use of colour and masterful technical ability informed by a practice that spans more than two decades. As catalogue essayist Judith Blackall suggests, “For Darroch, the act of creation is both conceptual and physical. Making work involves as much thinking with mind/eye/hand aligned, while remaining acutely aware of the space his work occupies.”
Opening Event: Saturday 6th April 2024, 5 – 7pm | Artist Talk 4 – 5pm
