Sydney Exhibition

Chris Dolman & Carmel Byrne

Opens Saturday 13 August, 2 – 4pm
Runs 13 – 21 August 2022

This exhibition was supported and sponsored by the Inner West Council.

Featuring at Scratch Art Space for the Inner West Council Creative Trails Midjuburi Precinct is an exhibition of large paintings by Carmel Byrne and Chris Dolman.

Chris Dolman Incorporates painting and printmaking, objects, sound and video, and conjures work that draws on personal experience, art history and popular culture to explore ontological themes of vulnerability and loss; accidents and failure; and the abject qualities of the joke.

A process-driven artist, Carmel Byrne explores existential concepts through drawing from life with both figurative and landscape works. This approach is conducive to chaos & accidents where unplanned marks can, with the flick of a pencil, capture a unique gesture or expression, a surprise that is always outside of the realm of full creative control. It’s an expressive, collaborative act with nature.
