Time Passes Together by David Frazer

To be officially opened by Caroline Field – Curator at Australian Catholic University Art Collection and Esteemed Arts Author at 2-5pm on Saturday 2 November. Upcoming solo exhibition as part of their Spring Season of excellence. Time Passes Together is their second solo exhibition with celebrated local artist David Frazer. He is renowned for his sophisticated printmaking, utilising age-old traditions of wood engraving, etching, lithography and also contemporary linocut methods. David's images traverse the personal political. His works are often narrative, through pictures telling us the story of human condition. Often there is an overture to the melancholic feelings of the past, be it a broken limb falling, a pastoral paradise on the brink of destruction or that universal expression of love anxiety. “David Frazer is a born storyteller; imparting tales of love, loss, and longing in his exquisitely rendered and finely detailed prints." Marguerite Brown MA ArtCur, 2019. About wood engraving: Wood engraving is an age-old relief print-making method used for creating small and highly-detailed images. It was traditionally used to illustrate books, with blocks being the same height as the letterpress characters that formed the text. It is particularly well-suited to achromatic graphic artworks, with strong contrasts (lights and darks) and areas of textured shadows.
