Patrick Doherty

29 October 2007 - 27 January 2008
Studio 1

Patrick Doherty's epic scaled works generate fields of ideas, possible interpretations and meanings. Seductively loaded with a rich combination of humour, criticality and symbolism Doherty's work marries the qualities of contemporary street art with the grand traditions of history painting. Known for working on walls and large unstretched canvases, Doherty will work for the duration of his studio residence on a huge army tarp, taking the viewer on a journey between the realms of classical mythology, fairytales, urban myths and current affairs. Studio program: 29 October - 16 December, 2007 Studio open day: Saturday 24 November Artist talks and opening of studio program outcomes: Wednesday 19 December, 6pm Studios open to the public: 20 December - 27 January
