James Lynch, Some new paintings and a zoetrope
What:
James Lynch, Some new paintings and a zoetrope
Where:
Uplands Gallery Level 1, 12 Waratah Place, Off Little Bourke/Lonsdale St
When:
Until October 8
Straddling the Little Greece and Chinatown pockets of the city is Waratah Place, and nestled in amongst Club X, Erotica Plus, Cheapaway Bottleshop and the nastiest dumpling houses we find Uplands Gallery. From this charming and eclectic cityscape, we travel upstairs to enter the dreamscapes of James Lynch.
Each of Lynch's paintings is like a window into an obscure dollhouse. Within the domestic settings we find collages of painted images, incoherent and incongruous, like a mash-up of dream stills. Unashamedly frank dreams such as Sleeping with my dead grandma. are painted in an appropriately unembellished way so as to present their simplicity and their inherent strangeness. Upon exiting the exhibition the viewer should find themselves mentally comfortable and reassured, even if they are geographically between a rock and a hard place.
