An exciting opportunity for IAVA as a mixed exhibition of artists comes together to present Curious Rhythm at a fantastic venue.

20+ IAVA artists will contribute works for a ‘salon wall’ and an external curator, Honey Crawford from Robin Gibson Gallery at Darlinghurst, has selected 12 artists to exhibit in the main show.

Moira has pulled together some beautiful words to describe the Curious Rhythm exhibition…

All visual art has rhythm: some kind of internal movement and
balance, like a dancer en pointe. Even the calmest painting contains
variations and patterns of volume, just like a symphony. When we
look at an artwork, we're searching for patterns and rhythms even if
we're not conscious of it. Rhythm is a most basic and primitive
human experience, from our instinctive rocking of an infant to our
own internal rhythms of heart-beat and breath. The rhythms of the
planet, of the sun and moon, all help orient us. They reassure us we
are thinking, feeling beings. But the rhythms in visual art are also a
personal expression. Each artist brings something unique, something
odd from their own sensibility... It's these curious and beautiful
expressions that fascinate us as art viewers. We're drawn to a certain
artwork again and again and sometimes can't even say why exactly.
We know it satisfies us in some deep way.


Join our IAVA artists at the Opening on Saturday 30th September at 4pm.
