ON NOW - The latest iteration of the Shirley, Smith & Jones art exhibitions opened last night at Shop Gallery, 121 Glebe Point Road Glebe, Sydney. It's the first time I have made it to an opening there; though I've seen a previous exhibition. James Scanlon presented a short opening speech 'heckleing is fine but you will need to speak up, I'm my hearings going, if you want to heckle and a response, maybe put your hand up first so I can read your lips' He then posited that the series of shows may be an Art Movement - 'Old Romantics' but the work is serious if not with a capital S, even if the opening light hearted. I was mostly there for Michael Shirley's 40+ years of Film based photography well no choice in the beginning but he's still shooting film. 23-28 August 2024

Opening night at Cassandra Bird art gallery for Gene A’Hern 'The Storm that Grew Us,' A show which was like a trip into a stormy Theosophical marvel. I loved the colours, I loved the mark making, I liked the storm. To my eye it's a tour de force though 20th century art movements that loved colour - seen through the eyes of Gene A’Hern and made new and fresh - because that's what storms do, they blow away the old and the stagnant and replace it with something fresh, something new - though sometimes that does involve a little pain. There are also works with washes of colour threaded with yarn, like large wall rugs, tapestries, or a craft kit on steroids, something that could so easily go horribly wrong but does not. Instead we have craft and art, the colours continuing their spiritual journey with a hint of retro hitching a ride.
