OPENING NIGHT THURSDAY 2ND AUGUST 6-8PM
Becc Orszag is taking part in NotFair, a statellite fair to the Melbourne ArtFair. Searing line work, distended bodies, apocalyptic visions and lyrical poetics combine in a combustible confluence in the second instalment of the rigorously independent art event NotFair. It is a return to the hand, and somewhat anti-digital, creating a mutated discourse across painting, drawing, installation and photography.

AUTOCUE | DAINE SINGER GALLERY |MELBOURNE
8 - 31 OCTOBER 2011
OPENING NIGHT 13 OCTOBER 6PM
Becc Orszag’s drawings of eerie mountain scapes and figures engaged in ritualistic actions imply an unexplained history; off-handed notations and seemingly careless markings surround these meticulously rendered scenes. Working from found imagery, Orszag removes figures from their original contexts into dissected, re-imagined, illusionary realms. Gestures are exaggerated, mimicry is amplified and gazes are obscured. The artist explores the de-individualisation of society, voyeurism and the mindless acceptance of what we witness. – Daine Singer
