'Port: Damien O'Mara' Floor Talk

95-97 Bloomfield Street, Cleveland QLD 4163

The 'Port' series by Damien O’Mara presents several large, industrial landscape photographs of the Port of Brisbane.

O’Mara’s exhibition challenges this aesthetic through a unique combination of objective method and abstraction. While the images display symmetry and grid-like composition, they also contain conflicting elements such as vivid, digital colour, and abstracted form.

Robert MacPherson: Boss Drovers

4 Hasking Street, Caboolture QLD 4510

0754333710

The project is dated 14 February 1947. Robert Pene has an obsession: he endlessly catalogues boss drovers in portraits that vividly evoke the resilient, determined spirit of the rugged individuals responsible for moving thousands of livestock and teams of stockmen and cooks along the great pastoral stock routes of Australia, travelling over vast distances from station to market, or finding feed and water in times of drought. View a selection of 200 individual drawings from 'BOSS DROVERS' 1996–2014, all deliberately executed as if by the hand of a ten-year-old. Over a 20-year period, Robert MacPherson made these in the guise of his alter ego, Robert Pene, a grade 4 student at St Joseph’s Convent, Nambour, Queensland.
