Join the Get me out! exhibiting artist, Spencer Harvie, in an experimental and collaborative drawing workshop. You will explore the role of drawn images in the era of information overload.
In this workshop, you will use a wide range of methods including tracing, collaging, photocopying, erasure, and remixing.
Together with the artist, you will create a unique work that captures the artist’s distinct approach to the world of drawing. Harvie’s drawings explore the ever-changing and collaborative nature of our online image-saturated experience. This workshop offers an analog and socially-experimental approach to exploring this theme.
All materials are provided.
Spencer Harvie is a visual artist examining the impact of the internet’s overwhelming information abundance on how we see the world.
Through drawing, painting, and digital media, his work captures the intricate ways in which this abundance distorts our understanding and influences aesthetic judgments.
Employing methods such as classic web-surfing for source imagery, digital collage techniques (or ‘photo-bashing’), AI image generation, and graphic illustration, Harvie creates images that express his personal reaction to the internet’s bewildering and intractable influence on his life’s social dynamics, cultural narratives, and technological dependence.
Harvie has exhibited nationally across Australia with shows at NAS gallery Sydney, KINGS Artist-Run Melbourne, and Caboolture Regional Gallery. His work was nominated in 2017 for the Konica Minolta Prize. In 2021, he received his Doctorate of Visual Arts from the Queensland College of Art where he now currently teaches.
Caboolture Regional Art Gallery is open from Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
