ALEX HAMILTON HOW FAR IS IT IF YOU ONLY THINK IT November 20 - December 15 2024 Presented by Jacob Hoerner Galleries in collaboration with MAGMA Galleries 5 Bedford St Collingwood Naarm 3066 In his latest series ‘How far is it if you only think it’ Alex Hamilton creates works that pose questions & at times syntactic answers in relation to the Age we are living through & the predicaments our complicated & turbulent World seems to throw at us with unrelenting force. While delving deeply into Contemporary themes & ideas Hamilton is not limited to this epoch and draws on past Decades & Centuries of Music, Art, Literature & Philosophy to create Contemporary Paintings that are aesthetically sumptuous, intellectually alluring & conceptually rewarding on a myriad of levels. Through his use of a swathe of materials including inks, paints, pens, Perspex, photocopied papers, scratching & interventions we are presented with works of Art that are complex reflections of our time & that are timeless simultaneously. Hamilton is an Australian Artist of International repute with works in Major Collections including the National Gallery of Australia, Art Gallery of South Australia, Saatchi Collection, Victoria & Albert Museum, Tate Library, Baltimore Museum of Modern Art & Denver Museum of Modern Art as well as having shown in some of the most significant Art Fairs of the World including Art Basel, TEFAF, Art Rotterdam, Drawing Now Paris, Art Chicago, Sydney Contemporary & Spring 1883. Following on from their stand out collaboration at Sydney Contemporary in September this year Jacob Hoerner Galleries & MAGMA Galleries again co-present this New Series of Perspex Paintings in How far is it if you only think it (2024) at 5 Bedford St Collingwood from November 20 – December 15 2024.
