Please feel welcome to come and view this 'BODY OF WORK '....

At the beginning of 2009, I moved to Sydney from Byron and currently work as a GP in Bondi..

I have draw, painted and generally been creative most of my life...

recently I started tearing up my mountain of life drawings and through collage and mixed media, have created this 'BODY OF WORK'.....

I have always been inspired by the intense beauty of the 'Australian bush'...the colour of red dirt, the texture of paperbark, the shapes of gum leaves moving in the wind .........

I feel I have echoed this inspiration throughout the works and hope they bring joy to the viewer............Sarah Cooper

CHRISTINE DENGATE

27 SEPTEMBER - 10 OCTOBER

DENGATE

Christine Dengate

Usually found photographing flowers, plants and wildlife, the Tap Gallery Nude portrait competition in June 2010 proved an interesting and timely challenge for this Sydney based photographer. After winning the People's Choice and a mention from the Judges for her work "nude with fan" Christine has been working on her first solo exhibition – "in the flesh".
In the flesh is a series of evocative male and female nudes, produced using only available light, which proved quite challenging for the models as most shots were photographed outdoors during the colder winter months!
Using available light and shooting mostly outdoors produced a soft, tactile and engaging nude image while minimizing "body image" and strong gender association. The human form in soft focus or the play of light across a breast……in the flesh

Soi'gne - Well groomed.
We are three artist that have studied for many years. Each expressing their selves very differently. We are eclectic and for ever changing . We all agree creating one idea for many years makes one factory like, it may become a trade mark but we feel the need to express our selves freely. This way makes for fresh new work and new ideas, embracing an ever changing world.

It is with pleasure we announce the inaugural Oxford Arts Festival, promoting the Darlinghurst/Oxford Street through the creative arts. The festival is scheduled for the 19th of October until the 30th of October in conjunction with the City of Sydney's Art & About Festival.

This twelve day festival is designed to highlight the unique historical & cultural urban quarter of Oxford Street and Taylor Square and intends to involve businesses & venues in this distinctly creative precinct.

Why a festival in this wonderful area does not exist already is a quandary. It is obviously crying out to happen & we are very excited to instigate this fantastic event & involve all the local businesses, arts institutions, arts practitioners & local residents to show the broader community how much this area has to offer.

This is a personal invitation welcoming your involvement in this remarkable event - to encourage cultural development and a strengthening connection as a community. Attached is the draft schedule of the event, we are looking forward to your contribution to add to this program.

For enquiries and involvement suggestions, please contact Lesley Dimmick between the hours of 12 midday and 6pm on (02) 8603-5486.

Kind Regards,

Oxford Arts Festival.
