NEW WORK BY

DAVID HARLEY

1 December 2008 - 28 February 2009
|
Melbourne artist David Harley created a series of digitally inspired abstract paintings for ACCA's exhibition in the ongoing series at Mirka at Tolarno Hotel.
The artist, who has just returned from Germany following a solo exhibition at the Nassauischer Kunstverein in Wiesbaden, uses traditional painting techniques to create large scale ‘digital scapes’, which offer the illusion of depth and the chromatic lines, shapes and colours of a digital print.
|
ACCA and Mirka at Tolarno Hotel have joined forces to bring contemporary art to the adventurous patrons of Melbourne's brightest new restaurant. In a series of four annual exhibitions which are set to change with the seasons ACCA will give four young Australian artists a unique chance to show their work in this exciting new satellite venue.
The Tolarno Hotel has always had a tradition of food and art. In the 1960s Georges Mora, restaurateur, gallery owner and curator, and his wife Mirka made the bistro and gallery one of Melbourne’s best loved cultural and culinary icons.
