Art – Emisiaband

Artist: Linton Meagher Born in Sydney in 1975 and studied art at the Julian Ashton School and at the University of Sydney, completing a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Arts) in 1996. Collections include the World Health Organisation (Paris), Xenos and T. & C. Business Consulting (Sydney). ‘My portfolio conveys the progression in my work away from traditional oil on canvas towards more conceptual mixed media work mosaic work with fibreglass and Perspex. Prior exhibitions have focused on the fragmentation of images and have included mosaics made out of glass marbles and hydraulically pressed and machine cut Coca Cola can pieces cast in resin…’ Upcoming exhibition (early 2008), will continue the use of pills and capsules (Encapsulations exhibition) and extend into the use of 20,000 surgical scalpels cast in resin. All the capsules in the artworks are empty and fully encased in fibreglass resin.

ANDREW NICHOLLS tracks the new direction of Paul Uhlmann’s recent works, in part made possible by a residency program.

Amidst the crippling shortage of inner-city studio space currently being suffered in Western Australia, Fremantle Arts Centre has been providing relief in the form of a residency program being run from a small studio in its picturesque grounds.

This initiative is proving critical in allowing early and mid-career artists to produce less commercial, exploratory works that may otherwise have gone unrealised. A

case in point was sculptor Susan Flavell’s superb Unhorsed exhibition of large-scale cardboard works, produced in the space during 2007 (see aAR Issue 15). The latest artist to take advantage of the residency is Paul Uhlmann, one of Western Australia’s most prominent mid-career artists, whose practice incorporates painting, print and photography.
