MEET THE ARTIST TUESDAY 14TH FEBRUARY AT 6PM
FLOOR TALK SATURDAY 18 FEB 3-5PM
My large scale Ink Works on Paper are created outdoors on the ground and utilise wind and water in their creation. I use Sumi Ink which is an ancient Asian medium made from lamp soot. The paper is immersed in water and areas are lifted free to apply the ink. The images created partially mirror the ground beneath so the works become a documentation of place as well as time. The works are created from multiple layers of ink and there can be up to fifty layers of ink in areas. Despite the highly decorative surface I produce I am a minimalist choosing to remove my ‘hand’ from the creation. I do not directly touch the paper relying on wind to deposit the ink. Sumi Ink has inherent abilities and each work aims to display the dynamics of the ink rather than my hand.
Until my 50’s I worked in horticulture and landscaping. Health issues lead me to a career change and I went through the TAFE system to achieve my Fine Arts Diploma in 2009. Since then I have exhibited in the Regional Gallery circuit in NSW.

HOMO-SEXUAL
Homo-sexual Gatsby Lim XYZ
HOMO-SEXUAL
An exhibition of works that celebrates homosexuality as an enduring part of human culture. Using oblique perspectives to capture male desires, Sam Gatsby Lim and XYZ bridge the valorising of men as well as darker elements of gay men’s sexual lives. This exhibition is an opportunity to explore contemporary male homosexuality and ideas around men looking at other men.
XYZ:
XYZ is a visual artist whose practice has focussed on the various facets that create our identity. He uses photography, college and colour to explore abstract ideas. His passion for homosexuality is personal. XYZ is a meat eater and a scorpio.

GATSBY LIM:
Gatsby is a Cambodian-Australian visual artist and kink educator. His work in photography and performance challenge conventional notions of beauty, intimacy and the queer male body. Drawing from the interpersonal to capture moments of emotion. Working in liminal space between documentary photography and composed, the images are created both by and for the artist.
Gatsby shows a selection of digital photographic prints and Instant film that are captured in medias res. The images are an artifact of the complicit experiences made with the men in the images. The expression of love, lust and the ineffable usually only seen behind closed doors…
