TRENT PARKE AND NARELLE AUTIO
STILLS at Depot GALLERY - 2 Danks St Waterloo
16 May - 3 June 2006
Stills Gallery will be showcasing works by some of the artists we represent at The Depot Gallery, 2 Danks St Waterloo from 16 May
to 3 June, 2006. A special feature of the exhibition will be new works by award winning artists Narelle Autio and Trent Parke.
Autio's vibrant images of Australians at leisure have won her impressive national and international acclaim. Her latest works push
the expressive capabilities of photography. The figures in her underwater tableaux, despite being ordinary people enjoying a swim
at the beach, seem almost posed for dramatic effect, as if on a stage. The play of colour and light in the photographs gives them a
magical and transcendent quality.
Also on show will be new works by acclaimed photographer, Trent Parke, the only Australian ever to be a member of the prestigious
Magnum Photo Agency. Parke's latest images continue his exploration of urban spaces in colour. In these works he has focused on the
line of urban development that snakes its way along the coast of Australia. While Autio's figures swim in an underwater playground,
Parke's subjects negotiate a proliferation of high-rises, take-away shops, faded signs and electricity wires.
