There’s a dolphin in mine
Julianna Nyeste and Rebecca Porter
11.10.24 - 22.10.24
A show of works by Juli Nyeste and Rebecca Porter about painting and memorialisation. Juli’s paintings appear as variations on rabbits, men, dolls from antiquity, etc., but the strange control with which they’re painted allows moments of derealisation to come into view in her process of carefully archiving and copying images. On the other end, Rebecca searches for this clarity from out of material sameness, looking for a process of abstraction out of the leftovers of repetition, failed paintings etc. Archive of what is possible or impossible.
Juli Nyeste is a Hungarian-Australian artist working in Melbourne. Her practice revolves around painting as an exploration of the mundane. Her processes involve interpreting scavenged imagery, accumulating, categorising and utilising found objects and memorialising throwaway memories.
Rebecca Porter is a Melbourne based artist interested in how painting can open narrative possibilities by abstracting what is unreal or untouchable.
