Perspective by Rory Fink opens at fortyfivedownstairs on Tuesday13 September 2022.

Fink has put together an exhibition designed for all budding art enthusiasts looking to make a start in the world of art collecting. The exhibition features an eclectic mix of art created by the artist over the past five years. The vast body of work explores historic events, personal experiences and the human condition narrated to us by the media and other central bodies.

The main feature of this exhibition is Fink’s most recent body of work titled: Perspective. This mixed media series looks at the way in which society lives under the power and influence of the various media outlets, whose published material has decidedly far-reaching effects on how we think, look and feel. The text used in this series is derived from real news headlines from a variety of news outlets, text that is written in such a way to invoke strong emotional responses in the reader. Fink has reimagined and reworked the text to be less specific to a particular topic, but instead to subjects that affect society as a whole.

The backgrounds are a unique style of photography, created through the camera lens. The text is layered onto each photograph using acrylic paint and stencils. The series comprises 10 100.0 x 120.0 cm di-bond mounted mixed media archival images, each ready to hang and add a touch of artistic expression to any lounge or dining room.

Other works in the exhibition showcase Fink’s attention to detail with his use of several mediums, including photography, paint, resin and timber.
