Phantasia
Magdalena Bors » Mark Kimber » Andrew Mamo » Alexia Sinclair » Simon Strong »
Exhibition: 1 May – 7 Jun 2008
Vivid, complex and magical, the works in this exhibition abandon the traditional realm of the photographic - the real world - to conjure images of the fantastical. From Magdalena Bors' fairytale scenes to Alexia Sinclair's regal women of history and Simon Strong's dreamscapes; from Andrew Mamo's phantasmagoria to Mark Kimber's landscapes of the imagination, it is an odyssey of the fabulous. The result of highly skilled and detailed construction these enchanted scenes are either created as theatrical settings and then photograph or pieced together from hundreds of photographic fragments. Mark Kimber is represented by Stills Gallery, Sydney Simon Strong is represented by John Buckley Gallery, Melbourne and King Street Gallery on William, Sydney.
