It is with a primordial lens in mind that Nicholls strives to sculpt universal concepts\, and the emotional impact of our existence.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″][vc_column_text]Born in 1960\, Mike Nicholls grew up on a dairy farm at Narre Warren North on the out skirts of Melbourne\, where he still has a studio-gallery and maintains the family property. \nHe majored in sculpture at the Caulfield Institute of Technology receiving a high distinction in his final year for his fabricated steel sculptures. \nFrom the formal training in abstraction\, where he concentrated on line\, balance\, movement and gesture\, Mike migrated to Fitzroy in the early eighties becoming a founding member of Roar Studios\, his work influenced by the fellow artist’s of Roar\, made a shift to expressionistic figuration. \nBy the mid 1980’s the artists eye sought to simplify his previously visually busy works\, Nicholls has slowly cultivated his quietly methodical practice; paring it back and reducing it to an elemental visual diary. \nMike has sought to incorporate an Australianness within his art; much of his reference has been visually and culturally sourced through travelling on plien air painting trips for months at a time\, spending time on relatives cattle stations in central Queensland and visiting remote areas within Australia. Mike has held woodcarving workshops in remote aboriginal communities of Cape York and the Torres Strait\, ass well as extensive over seas travel. \nHe has developed a deeply personal vocabulary of motifs\, striving to create a sense of feeling and or place\, focusing on his ultimate goal of imbuing his work with expression\, soul and a reflection of the human spirit.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Programming” tab_id=”1667547468743-eb814861-1a2f”][vc_column_text]Opening Night: Tuesday 8th of November from 6pm – 8pm \nYou are warmly invited to join us in celebrating the opening of ‘Bird Call’\, a reflection onto the human’s consciousness of the world that surrounds us. \n  \nArtist Talk with Mike Nicholls: Saturday 12th of November 3-4pm \nPlease join Mike Nicholls for a free event where the public can gain insight into his impactful and inspired work. \nPlease RSVP to this free event by contacting communications@fortyfivedownstairs.com  \nWe can’t wait to see you![/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Her wide ranging cross-platform practice covers independent filmmaking\, hand drawn and stop motion animation\, installation and performative events. \nHer work utilizes an observational language that gives expression to deliberate misunderstandings\, absurd irregularities and comic abstractions. She employs complex and refined production techniques to project a lyrical depth and meaning onto objects and landscapes – fully exploring the imaginative possibilities of the ordinary world around us. \nThe integration of music within the context of moving image is a central part of her practice as can be seen in her ongoing collaboration with composer Kate Neal under the title Flight Risk. This collaboration has given rise to a body of commissioned material that includes major theatrical/performance works\, concert pieces and music videos as well as work for cinematic settings. \nSal was co-artistic director of While You Sleep\, a live theatrical performance piece for string quartet and visual media\, which explored the boundaries between visual art and music and premiered in a sell out season at Arts House in November 2018. While You Sleep will commence national touring in 2022. Further works include The Commuter Variations a work for solo piano and animation that was commissioned by The Melbourne Recital Centre\, the award-winning theatrical music work Semaphore on which she was a key collaborator\, and numerous short animated films including Song For a Comb which was a Tropfest finalist and won both Best Animation and Best Woman in Film Awards. As well as her engagement in large scale performative and collaborative events Sal exhibits regularly in solo and group shows. \nIn the course of Sal’s practise she has undertaken several public art projects and attended residencies in Australia and overseas. Her short films and experimental videos continue to be screened around the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Bringing together ten artists\, the exhibition explores the spectrum of effects that the pandemic had on artistic practices. \nFor two years\, the world – especially those of us in Melbourne – was confronted by challenges during the pandemic. Thoughts of vaccine hesitancy\, the spread of misinformation\, and extended lockdowns had severe psychological consequences. \nThe effect of the pandemic on the visual arts community was similar. Artists faced many unprecedented interruptions – studio spaces were closed\, exhibitions were postponed or cancelled\, access to materials was halted\, and many had loved ones to care for. The effect on artists varied widely; isolation encouraged frustrated artmakers to escape reality by looking inwards and focusing on their artistic practice. New techniques emerged and were developed\, new mediums tried and tested\, and different landscapes of the imagination were explored. Artists took the opportunity to reflect on past work and reconsider it in a new context. They found togetherness through collaborative projects with one another\, developing our ideas about community\, love\, and the sustaining principles of a kinder world – a compassion that unites us in uncertain times. \nOut of the pandemic emerged art founded on resilience\, humour\, absurdity\, and the celebration of life. Not only had we found hope through the consumption of art – in music\, books\, and media – artists channelled their survival into and through their creative endeavours. This exhibition is a visual acknowledgement of the beacons of light\, gems of hope\, and human strength that we now irrevocably share in our collective conscience.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Their aftermath had a devastating impact on people and the land. Thoughts of recovery seemed far from our\ncontrol. To make sense of it all\, Gavin Brown painted a work called After the Fire – an attempt to find beauty amidst the\nchaos of the crisis. \nAnd then coronavirus hit. The artist spent the majority of Melbourne’s lockdown in his studio\, looking outward. Once again\,\neverything appeared so ugly. Trying to make sense of this bizarre and difficult time\, Gavin turned his focus to hope. Instead\nof dwelling on the destruction he chose to concentrate on the regrowth of Australia’s flowering gums and native flowers. In\nresponse to this\, he set about creating optimistic artworks out of that time of devastation. \nAfter the Fire aims to bring a series of works that inspire confidence in the resilience of humankind and the regrowth of\nnature.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]

A melancholic wink at consumerism and spirituality. A dialogue between a certain past and an uncertain future. \nThe artist reclaims engravings of Renaissance images and layers them with a mélange of modern detritus – from aluminium cans to discarded laptop motherboards – scanned at ultra-high resolution to reveal surprising new views and hidden landscapes. \nTechnology is as omnipotent and omnipresent as religion once was\, controlling what we see and feel\, for better or worse. In the past\, priests and preachers were the exclusive producers of cultural propaganda\, but today this role is subsumed by the ubiquity of our devices and our connection to the internet. \nSacellum is a contemplation of this control of our hearts and minds; a moving patternation of the contemporary and the classical. The portals of belief continue to look over us\, providing a glimmer of hope for what lies ahead. \nView the catalogue for this exhibition here.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
