Gallery Lane Cove presents Dream and Reason: Paradoxes of the Sublime, a contemporary printmaking exhibition running from 18 August to 11 September. The show explores the Romantic idea of the sublime, that unsettling mix of awe and fear found in nature’s vast, overwhelming forces, and examines where human reason meets the limits of what it can comprehend.
Archibald and Sulman Prize winner Wendy Sharpe AM headlines with large-scale gestural monotypes in Gallery 1, evoking the unease of 1950s film noir. Galleries 2 and 3 bring together five contemporary printmakers: Andrew Totman, Juanita McLauchlan, Salvatore Gerardi, Annika Romeyn and Bridget Hillebrand, each responding to nature, ecology and the passage of time through the printmaking medium.
The exhibition also marks 60 years of the Australian Print Council and 65 years of the Sydney Printmakers. Entry is free.
