EXHIBITION: Linden Projects Paper

The False Victor - graphite pencil and 24 kt gold leaf on paper, 2015

LINDEN PROJECTS: PAPER | LINDEN NEW ART | MELBOURNE
8 MAY- 12 JULY 2015

OPENING THURSDAY 7 MAY 6-8PM

Linden will present four solo exhibitions in the Linden Projects: Paper exhibition including work by Gunjan Aylawadi, Peta Clancy and Emma van Leest. This exhibition explores how one of the oldest of art medias is used by contemporary artists today and explores how this media can be extended.

Becc Orszag will present a new body of drawings for the exhibition. Orszag's drawings are a strange mix of landscape, portraits and performance presented in a dream like trance. She writes, "My drawings are inspired by found imagery and the written word, from accidental photographs and historical photojournalism to instruction manuals and religious texts. I explore the insatiable human desire for a promised land, a utopia beyond the physical limits of Earth".

IMPROBABLE JOURNEY | GIPPSLAND ART GALLERY | SALE
17 MAY - 6 JULY 2014

OPENING NIGHT FRIDAY 30 MAY 6PM

Becc Orszag is a seer guiding viewers through uncharted lands in IMPROBABLE JOURNEY. Her work calls upon the spirits of distant lands and times, whose worlds overlap and co-exist within our own. Orszag proposes unlikely interactions and encounters through sequences of small-scale pencil drawings. Alternating between impossible landscapes and domestic exchanges, the works are inhabited by a range of characters whose curious activities deliver surprising outcomes.
