01-Dec-08     GALLERY 2021 to provide fine art consultation to Edward Stripe

GALLERY 2021 is pleased to announce an exciting new opportunity for Australian artists with the Edward Stripe company.

 

Edward Stripe is a manufacturer of Australian designed handmade quality shirts for men and women, ties, cufflinks, accessories and personalized gifts. A unique new range of exclusive products is currently in development by commissioning fine artworks from Australian artists whose oeuvre includes sculpture, abstract painting and digital art for the production of fine textiles and wearable art.

 

GALLERY 2021 is working with Edward Stripe to provide curatorial advice about artists whose work might be considered for incorporation into Edward Stripe’s new range, and further to our August announcement (below) several artists from the Sunshine Coast region are already involved in the early stages of development. In addition, we are providing services for an exceptional exhibition being planned as part of the first launch of their new products in 2009.

 

01-Aug-08     GALLERY 2021 now on the Sunshine Coast

GALLERY 2021, established 2000, was opened in Auckland, New Zealand to showcase and promote selected Australian artists. The stable quickly grew to include local artists from New Zealand and the gallery soon developed a reputation for high quality fine artworks.

In 2002, the directors moved home to their native Australia. Since then, GALLERY 2021 has been a “virtual” space, conducting a series of temporary exhibitions, participating in several group exhibitions, and providing services by consultation.

With the main office now permanently located near Noosa Heads on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, GALLERY 2021 is about to embark on a new business structure. The goal is to link art with tourism, encourage engagement with visual art by creating a focus on contemporary fine art practice excellence and have a positive impact on the Sunshine Coast region’s cultural life.

 

02-Jun-07     Recent Acquisition

The Gallery 2021 Collection is pleased to announce the following recent acquisition.

 

Ana Hillar is a young Argentinean artist (born in Santo Tome in 1969) who has chosen clay, la tierra, and the most primitive of ceramic techniques as medium in her poly-sensorial and poly-material research. She considers it most intimately connected to her natural method of expression.

 

Nube Grande is a beautiful, hanging ceramic artwork with a primitiveness that suggests the clay nests of European wasps. Other works from the series are on display at the Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche in Faenza.

 

 

03-Feb-06     Brendon Mogg RECENT WORKS online exhibition

30-Jan-06     Recent Acquisitions

The Gallery 2021 Collection is pleased to announce the following recent acquisitions.

 

Carla Franks is a talented emerging artist living and working in New Zealand who’s first solo exhibition “Explorations, Phase #1” held at GALLERY 2021 in Auckland in 2002. Since then, Carla has continued developing her art by exploring her responses to the environment and representing those feelings in an elegant, beautiful, sophisticated and abstract manner using the combined effects of texture and unusual mixed media.

 

We are pleased to continue our ongoing support for Carla by acquiring four paintings from her Tracery Series. Crystalline Black 2004, Interfuse 2004, Interplay 2004 and White Hot 2004 are hauntingly beautiful and emotive mixed media on canvas paintings which we aim to keep together for display as a single work.

A selection of fourteen brightly coloured, vibrant paintings to celebrate the spring time is now on display in our current online exhibition. Paintings by Anne Saunders, Brendon Mogg, Glory Ngarla, William Ferguson, Minnie Pwerle, Naomi Lewis and Thierry B have been included.

 

 

01-Aug-05     Recent Acquisitions

The Gallery 2021 Collection is pleased to announce the following recent acquisitions.


Doug Wright is a well-respected, senior artist whose sophisticated work is sought after by art lovers and collectors alike. His work has been exhibited in numerous group exhibitions over the years including several Australian Contemporary Art Fairs, Wynne Prize Exhibitions for landscapes at the Art Gallery of NSW, including Finalist in 1999, plus solo exhibitions in private and public galleries around
Australia.

Secret Garden” 1984 uses rich, multi-layered oils painted on cotton duck. This painting marks a significant point in Doug’s artistic career where the numerous drawn elements included in the paintings of his earlier period reached a peak of abstraction before finally leading into his next transition phase. The recent acquisition of this painting complements “Lone Pine” 1991 and “Bends” 1999 already included in the collection. 

 

Brendon Mogg is a bright, young emerging artist living and working in Sydney whose career we have tracked and supported for the last few years.  We are pleased to continue our ongoing support for this young artist by purchasing four paintings from his latest “entwined within landscape” series which we find exciting, relevant to our collection, technically advanced and of high quality.

 

“Which Wandering Way” 2005, “Agitated” 2005 and “Glimpse” 2005 are painted in oil on canvas. “Hypnotic Landscape” 2005 is a beautiful painting in oil on paper.

 

We look forward to exhibiting and enjoying these latest acquisitions within our evolving collection.
