Of Colour & Light - Women Abstract Artists


Of Colour and Light, Women Abstract Artists Biennial 2020
 15 December 2020 - 28 February 2021

Opening  19 January 2021 ( 5- 8pm) 
Opened by Leah Justin ( Justin Art House Museum) at 6pm 

West End Art Space, Melbourne, Australia

 


This is the third abstract biennial hosted by West End Art Space, curated by Anna Prifti, that aims to provide a platform to women abstract artists from the state of Victoria. It began in 2016 with the aim to showcase and advocate that women artists have been an integral part of the Abstract movement.
This year the biennial coincides with the opening of our new gallery space in Adderley Street, West Melbourne. There will be a variety of artworks on show, with women working in a diverse range of contemporary art practices, established and well-recognised careers. Abstraction in an array of styles -lyrical, expressive, intuitive, hard-edged, reductive, minimalist – becomes unified by an ongoing conversation on colour and light.

Solo exhibition Unfolding Time at  Glen Eira City Council Gallery (2017)
The paintings and drawings are part of a series that references the title. This visual research is about place and memory, dealing with ‘escaping’ from Vienna in the war years. The energy in Eleanor Hart’s work has been encapsulated by the discovery of letters written in Gothic German that were hidden and revealed decades later. 

The concept of Unfolding Time resonates through the painterly abstraction that is the vibrating medium.

Colour and optical vibrancy animate Melbourne artist Melinda Harper’s remarkable oeuvre of abstract works developed over three decades. While Harper is best known as a painter, this survey reveals a surprising diversity of practice in its inclusion of drawings, collages, screenprints, experimental photographs, painted objects and exquisite handmade embroideries.

Jason Haufe - artist ( selected videos of exhibitions)


Information
Born in 1974 in Melbourne Australia, Jason Haufe has been committed to abstraction and his professional arts practice for nineteen years. Since graduating with his honors degree in Fine Art at Monash University in 1995 Haufe has delivered nineteen solo exhibitions and has explored abstraction through painting, collages, sculpture and printmaking. From 1996-2010 Haufe explored various spatial and pictorial ideas within the limited means of geometric abstraction.  
Haufe is an accomplished draughtsman and has been selected for the National Drawing Dobell Prize at NSW Art Gallery (Sydney, Australia) in 2009, 2008 and 2005. He has also been a finalist for the Rick Amor Drawing Prize at The Ballarat Regional Art Gallery. Haufe has been recognised for his rigorous draughtsmanship by academic and historian Christopher Heathcote in his essay ‘Journeys into Drawing’ in the Macmillion Art Publication ‘Contemporary Australian  Drawing #1’.  
Sydney Morning Herald art critic Michael Fitzgerald recognised Haufe’s ability to create dynamic compositions ‘there is a satisfyingly cerebral play between soft and hard shapes in these abstract works by the Melbourne-based Jason Haufe, who is inspired as much by Howard Arkley as Piet Mondrian in his elegant interlocking grids of tense, spray-painted colour.'
Jason Haufe’s comprehensive body of work explores many aspects of geometric abstraction and its links to Cubism. Jason Haufe has been selected for major art prizes in Australia such as Fletcher Jones Art Prize  (Geelong Art Gallery; 2008 ), Blake Prize (S.H. Ervin Gallery; 2001), Fleming Muntz Albury Art Prize (Albury Regional Art Gallery; 2005). Haufe is represented by Stephen McLaughlan Gallery Melbourne and has exhibited at Factory 49 (Sydney), Westspace (Melbourne) and various other artist-run spaces. He has been collected by Art Bank, Chisholm Institute and Monash University.
More recently Haufe has been exploring the process of feedback loops to generate new directions in his collages.

Jason Haufe -The Other Art Fair- Presented by Saatchi Art (1 – 4 June 2017)
Media release information
A simultaneous debut will take place on the 1st of June at Brooklyn Expo Center when Jason Haufe exhibits recent collages at The Other Art Fair New York. It will be the first time that both Haufe and The Other Art Fair will make their appearance in New York.
Haufe was selected by a panel of art experts to be one of a hundred artists from over 750 that applied to The Other Art Fair. According to The Other Art Fair’s website, “Following sixteen successful editions across the UK and Australia, The Other Art Fair makes it's debut in the creative heart of Brooklyn on June 1-4 2017, presenting 100 talented emerging artists to an audience of art buyers and enthusiasts. Each artist has been handpicked by a Selection Committee of art experts, so visitors can add to their collection with the confidence that they are buying from the very best and most promising emerging artists. 
Celebrated for its unique visitor experience, The Other Art Fair’s inaugural US edition in New York will delight and inspire art lovers with a tightly curated and distinctive program of fair features, creating a platform for the 'unexpected'.”
Haufe will present a new body of work that both continues his use of photocopies to make collages yet uses colour in a way that signifies a distinct difference in expressive character from his predominately black and white work.

Jason Haufe - Project 2017, Gallery Elena Shchukina, London (25 May – 3 June 2017)

Media release information
Jason Haufe is pleased to announce that he has been selected to participate in a group exhibition of abstract art in London at Gallery Elena Shchukina titled Project 2017.  The theme of Project 2017, Change & Transformation is a perfect fit for the work of Jason Haufe whose work exhibits the aforementioned qualities in both the formal properties of the individual works, and more broadly the overall conceptual framework that governs his oeuvre.
Haufe will be exhibiting four collages which display how change is an inevitable result of his feedback loop method, which sees completed work scanned and photocopied, producing not just copies, but a variety of new material for future work. Every time a work is produced, it adds to the sum of material that can be fed back into the process.
Through this simple feedback process, change is an inevitable part of the work's development, disrupting stylistic refinement as exemplified by the modernist signature image. Within individual works the forms display shifts not just in directions but in tempo, the viewer’s eye forced to move at different speeds along the undulating form. Often an irregular form will be repeated many times in different works, getting lost amidst a multiplicity of forms and attaining a new character. The iconic structure presented appears to be in a state of flux between one form and another.    
Jason Haufe will be one of fourteen artists from five continents participating in Project 2017, and it will be the first time Haufe has exhibited work in the UK.
Exhibition: 25 May – 3 June 2017
Location: Gallery Elena Shchukina
Address: 10 Lees Place, Mayfair, London W1K 6LL, UK
Hours:
Monday – Friday 9:30 – 17:30

Jason Haufe - Berliner Liste 2016
Media release information
A busy 2016 for Australian artist Jason Haufe has just got busier. After two solo exhibitions, one in Paris the other in Melbourne, Haufe has been selected by a curatorial panel to present work in the Artist Section of the Berliner Liste 2016.
 Haufe will be exhibiting a small suite of work that continues the development of his collage, using photocopies as material. It is only fitting that a “...fair of discovery” such as Berliner Liste would select an artist such as Haufe. Haufe uses a combination of digital, machine and handmade processes, ensuring that discovery is the cornerstone of his artistic development.
Haufe’s method involve scanning and photocopying completed work, producing not just copies, but a variety of new material for future work. It is from this process that new developments cannot be planned a priori, but must be seized upon as they emerge. Often an irregular form will be repeated many times in different works, reaffirming its identity while denying its uniqueness. Other times, getting lost amidst a multiplicity of forms and attaining a new character.
Although the number of collages Haufe will display at Berlin’s oldest art fair will be modest, it will be more than enough for the 10,000 or so visitors to get a feel for the artist’s practice. 
Jason Haufe will be in attendance at the Berliner Liste 2016 throughout the duration of the fair.

Jason Haufe -  Stephen McLaughlan Gallery

Media release information

Exhibition of recent collages by Jason Haufe
1 June – 18 June 2016
 An inverse insanity is practiced by collagist Jason Haufe, for if it’s insane, as popular adage would have it, to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result, then what else could it be called to do the same thing over and over again and actually attain a different result. For that’s what Haufe does. The same process, the same methods, yet in work after work and show after show, an undeniable development that can be traced back from Haufe’s first exhibition of collages in Melbourne at Stephen McLaughlan Gallery in 2014, through to shows in Sydney, Berlin, Paris and now Melbourne again.
The paper Haufe uses for collage are photocopies or blank photocopy paper. All the pieces are either photocopied from his previous collages, patterns or other found material, with some scanned and manipulated digitally on a computer and then printed and photocopied. Every time a work is produced, it adds to the sum of material that can be fed back into the process. This feedback process forces new directions and possibilities that the artist has to then choose from. Haufe’s work, in a short space of time, has gone from all-over compositions suggesting marks, to biomorphic lines, to iconic structures with strong overtones of a ‘machine aesthetic’. Many of the works in this exhibition fit somewhere in-between.
 Having invented a method, the process puts forward forms and combinations the artist would never have thought of, placing an emphasis on discovery, and enriching the possibilities of abstraction.
“They see poetry in what I have done. No. I apply my methods, and that is all there is to it.” Georges Seurat

Jason Haufe  - Factory 49 Paris Pop Up, France

Media release information

Solo exhibition of photocopy collages by Jason Haufe at Factory 49 Paris Pop Up, Paris, France.
4 - 27 February 2016.
The tension between the digital and the handmade is resolved in the collages of Australian artist Jason Haufe. Although the works appearance is handmade, not one line or form has been hand drawn. The paper Haufe uses for collage are photocopies or blank photocopy paper. All the pieces are either photocopied from his previous collages, patterns or other found material, with some scanned and manipulated digitally on a computer and then printed and photocopied. Every time a work is produced, it adds to the sum of material that can be fed back into the process. The composition in most cases, reduced to an iconic structure on a white ground, is the formal solution to the overload of visual information at the artists’ disposal. The possibility of repetition, changes in scale, inversion, distortions and colour only add to the complexity of forms and possible directions. Having invented a method, the process puts forward forms and combinations the artist would never have thought of. Choices, not invention are then required by the artist. Here, a rigorous formalism goes hand in hand with an ease with uncertainty. By letting go, the artists’ possibilities open up.
This is Jason Haufe’s second solo exhibition in Europe and his first in Paris. Haufe will be in Paris throughout the duration of the show.
