Two exhibitions, Sub-Liminal and Shifting Art Interventions will open at the Riddoch Art Gallery on Friday 19 March 2021.
Tasmanian based photo-media artist Paul Snell’s work in Sub-Liminal investigates the transformation of photographic modes of production and the manipulation and exploitation of data to invent new visual forms.
“By rhythmically repeating, pairing, overlapping, reversing and sequencing through the investigations of specific colour relationships, Snell seeks a sensory understanding of the physical object. These pieces are not representations of certain realities; they are their own reality,” Riddoch Art Gallery Director and Manager Arts and Culture Development Dr. Melentie Pandilovski said.
The Gallery Director says Snell’s work is increasingly significant in an image driven society.
In his work, the daily saturation of images is replaced by selective sensitisation. Snell’s pieces continue the exploration of non-representative forms to examine the possibilities of abstraction and minimalism in photo-media.
