"SEASIDE"
by
TRACY DODS


04-02-2010 - 24-02-2010


Exhibition Comments:

Exhibiting to February 2
 
Tracy Dods is a young artist with a giant future. Since moving from Cairns to Sydney, Tracy Dods has been exhibiting her artwork on an almost continuous basis. Much of Tracy's work depicts the lushness of the human form alongside the exciting colours of Australia's beaches. Her style is fluid and distinctive and her following is growing daily.
The exhibition includes gorgeous sensual works such as Grape and Honeymoon, alongside intriguing, haunting images like Christmas No 1 and Indifference.

"I don't paint with the intention of making a statement. For those who view my work with no preconceived ideas "statements" will be made, but these will be personal, they will reflect what is inside themselves," says Dods.

Become lost in Sydney's icons as it's clichés are refreshingly dispossessed, relocated and juxtaposed without mercy. In this tantalising exhibition Dods confronts us with the realisation of just how easy it is for us all to become outcasts in our own city, and our own lives.
 

Artist Statement:

 

 

“Although Tracy paints pictures of people walking into the sea, you know that this is a slightly dreamlike scenario, but it is also about an internal state, about loneliness, the possibility of self destruction. But for me that’s almost too bleak for them, I liken them to perhaps Corbet or Casper David Fredrick’s “ Figure on the mountaintop” This is the figure poised between being and not being…. on the edge of consciousness which is a slightly more positive way of looking at humanity in the great void, the great cosmos.”

 

                                                                                Antony Bond,  Assistant director of AGNSW

 

Tracy Dods’s paintings merge acute social observation with poignant symbolic metaphor to illuminate the heart of the contemporary condition. The results are expressed in colours which are bold, true and beautiful.  Her work is thoroughly infused with her unequivocal commitment to human freedom.  She is an artist for our time.
