Claudia Damichi | SYDNEY CONTEMPORARY 2018
September 1, 2018SYDNEY CONTEMPORARY 2018 'Always on the dancefloor' by Claudia Damichi at The Old Clare Hotel with Olsen Gallery, Sydney As part of Sydney Contemporary's 2018 program, Always on the dancefloor by Claudia Damichi is an installation of multiple adhesive fine art prints applied to The Old Clare Hotel entrance doorways. Always on the dancefloor is an exciting extension of Damichi's paintings that explore the intersection of art, architecture and design. This new installation work for the Sydney Contemporary is multi-modular in design and composed entirely in response to the site. Always on the dancefloor carries on Damichi's long standing interest in the abstract work of Mondrian, Delaunay, Kandinsky and the relationship between colour and music. As a disco child of the 70s, her work pops and slides as it plays into the site, adding colour and movement, bringing a sense of the dance floor to the industrial building landscape.
Claudia Damichi will also present a new series of paintings and wall works at Olsen Gallery Annex in October. olsengallery.com claudiadamichi.com

This painting, which mirrors nature with architecture, is a key work at DUMBO House, where the collection reflects the site's own staggering setting - specifically, its skyline views.

Southampton Welcomes Fine Art Photographer Leila Jeffreys

Ornithologists and art aficionados alike find delight in Leila Jeffreys' winged works.
Conservationist, world traveller and fine art photographer, Leila Jeffreys, grew up in Perth, Australia. She experienced all the boundless travel and exposure to exotic wildlife required for an artist with her particular level of visual acuity. Among the many celebrities, who have taken her under their wing, Jonathan Adler, smartly featured the work of this emerging artist in 20 North American stores in 2010. As both a curator and interior designer, I adore the clean graphic quality of her work, and appreciate the memorable, emotional charge her subjects emit to their viewers.

Artist statement
Under Britain's child migrant scheme - operating from the 1920s through to the late 1960s - over 130,000 children were forcibly sent to ‘a better life' in former colonies, mainly Australia and Canada. Many were children of single mothers who had been forced to give them up for adoption, or had left them temporarily in British orphanages until they were fit to reclaim them.

ART COLLECTOR GLOBAL: Q&A WITH TIM OLSEN
Art CollectorEmily Cones-Browne
11 July 2018
With
New York Gallery Olsen Gruin hitting the 18-months open mark, Emily
Cones-Browne talks to Australian dealer and co-director Tim Olsen about
going international.
Extract:
Olsen
Gruin has hit the 18-month mark since opening its first doors. What are
some of the winning hallmarks the gallery has experienced during the
first 18 months ?
The
surprising thing about the New York experience is that I had no idea it
was going to happen. It was only because my sister was moving her
business that we had the opportunity for a pop-up. What began as an
experiment was such a resounding success, it felt as though we had a
place in the New York art scene.
