SPECTRUM

Set within an ex-vintage Porsche workshop the back streets of Cremorne, a 200sqm brick building being vacated for development, is artist Tom Adair's studio. Adair has vacated the space for "SPECTRUM", a substantial group exhibition featuring 18 artists including the work and contributions of friends, creatives and fellow artists from around Australia.

The theme of the show is an exploration of how each artist is inspired by, perceives or utilises light within their practice - whether it be light to touch, physical weight, digital technology, natural light, shadows, colour or electricity.

With a unique background of interiors, product design and art, the show includes some big names, as well as some unrepresented artists that work across a multitude of mediums from painting, neon, sculpture, installation, photography, robot-assisted technology and plaster.

Tom Adair said, “Light is all around us and I thought it would be interesting to investigate how the universe started with a Big Bang and from there how light has existed and has progressively evolved within nature through to technology.”

“I’ve always wanted to hold an exhibition that doesn’t follow gallery rules where I could include friends from my past and present relationships from varied creative disciplines. Moving out of this studio space has offered me the opportunity to put on a show that will be different from other ‘art exhibitions’ as well as showcasing some of unrecognised talents that surround me," said Adair.

With an impending studio move, the show will mark the beginning of a planned launch of a bricks and mortar artist-run project space in Richmond, named Thought Forms Gallery.
