Pieces (Dec 2024 Group Show)
Exhibition 

We just wanted to end the year with something playful.

It started with Stephan Carlier, a Venetian plasterers concept forms I guess, we were like these need context.

So we gave them context. We curated a series of new and archival works and I guess Mitchell and I just build a house in the gallery we would want to live in. A collection of Australian artists and collectable designers we would want to/ do already collect.

Its not overly conceptual, or nuanced, we just wanted something that was joyful and distracting to see out the year.

‘Obliviously Procured’ 
Exhibition 

The art of Venetian plastering, a legacy craft practice dating back millennia, is as much a triumph of considered materiality and refined technical application, as it is a celebration of the transformative qualities of light and shadow, the texture of earth (limestone/marble), and the astounding sense of depth and movement resulting from their interplay.

Having spent twenty years honing his craft, both in his native England and here in Australia, Melbourne based artist Stephen Robert Carlier explores the possibilities of this tradition, extending its applications to create beguiling work that lives somewhere between art and sculpture. Carlier’s practice revels in these tactile processes and the problem-solving they necessitate, revealing what can be achieved when imagination is applied to craft.

OIGÅLL PROJECTS present a number of new works from the artist that embody this approach. These sculptural pieces have been crafted using a combination of remnant materials and Carlier’s signature application of Venetian plaster, a skilful and intriguing approach to rendering new forms.
