HEROES OF THE MARGINALIZED
by David Le Goon
CATALOGUE
VIRTUAL TOUR
Drawing inspiration from Japanese Ukiyo-E shunga art of the Edo period and contemporary queer culture, David Le Goon’s “Heroes of The Marginalized” invites you into the looking lens to play voyeur to all the very gay stories and adventures he’d like to share with you.
Being both a first generation Australian born Asian and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, there is much to celebrate and much to laugh at. To pay homage to these cross sections of cultures, David Le Goon has developed a series of NSFW paintings that may cross the line a little. They make you laugh, make you cringe and make you horny all while challenging you to attempt to discern truth from fable.

RELATIVE DIMENSIONS
by Aileen Ng
CATALOGUE
VIRTUAL TOUR
I have always been intrigued by illusion, how easily we buy into it and how fast it can alter
our perception.
Realities can be exclusive, shared and contradictory. What is yours and
who opposes it?
In Relative Dimensions, I try to capture the disparity between the idea and reality. My work is largely influenced by mathematics, science fiction, illusion and our relationship with time. This series is a collection of bright acrylic abstractions built from bold geometric shapes that draw from optical illusions, experiences and ideas that have inspired me over the past year.

LIFEBOAT
by MÜSS
CATALOGUE
VIRTUAL TOUR
‘Lockdown’ 2020, was an unprecedented time for a lot of people- it was the first time that we were stuck in one location for a long period of time, the first time we were barred from almost any human interaction, and for many, it was the first time we were really alone.
Our house became our lifeboat and safe haven, cast adrift, with no anchor holding us down. Yet there were millions of other ‘lifeboats’ right next to us, all floating along, waiting to be rescued, but with no way to connect with each other for support or contact.

BREATHE IN. BREATHE OUT.
by Nan Hong
CATALOGUE
VIRTUAL TOUR
Since the Covid pandemic and the shutdowns, the everyday things we take for granted have become more pronounced. Nan’s work concerns the interconnectedness of the natural world and the air we breathe. Her paintings engage with her cultural traditions, the organic rice paper natural and raw, the ink a foundation in Chinese traditional art. But her visual language is conceptual and contemporary, as her life is lived in two worlds, two cultures, which is reflected in her artistic practice.
