Prenelle Gallery presents a group exhibition of 10 artists working in painting, photography and video – RAPT.

Axel Antas’ Snow Angel video is installed outside on the deck, gigantic in scale but faint or faded, a ghostly residue of a forgotten game, or a lost faith.

Sam Dargan paints scenarios depicting abject archetypes of men, pathetic and vain, spiteful, forlorn and lost, but wickedly funny.

Andrew Ekins' colourful and textured paintings intrude on the viewer’s domain, a constantly transforming surface which is sharp but inviting, chaotic but structured, landscaped yet wild.

Eric shows photographic work which explores the compulsive fascination of destruction and human vulnerability to catastrophe.

Saam Farahmand takes visual sequences from movies, television programmes and original video footage and re-edits them to be rhythmically lip synchronised with music to create an incongruous funny and unnerving juxtaposition of cultural elements.

Sarah Jones maps a crowd scene with text. Visual elements are depicted by words written in coloured Dymo-tape emanating outwards from a newspaper photo, creating a flow and rhythm of marks and text mimetic of the fluid dynamism and interrelationships of crowds.

Chew Ling Lee’s painting of mutated organic pods evoke a dreamlike reproductive landscape.

Will Martyr paints intensely colourful images of architectural details, abstracted and iconified.

Tim Meacham uses elastic, feathers, water and light to create a kinetic sculpture that streaks across the ceiling of the gallery.

Zoe Mendelson’s drawings and paintings suggest unfolding narratives of female fantasy, layered with sexual imagery, some encoded and hidden, some disturbing and uncomfortable and others playfully colourful.
