Graeme Drendel makes his début at Sydney Contemporary with a new body of work, Static and Silence. Many of the artist’s works contain references to his formative years spent in the small town of Timberoo, south west of Ouyen, in Victoria’s Mallee region. The predominant industry in the area is dryland agriculture, which can be a precarious existence for the farming communities established there.
Drendel eschews a nostalgic view of rural life and the vivid experiences associated with his youth, recreating the low horizon line and flat plains of monotonous landscape, unrelieved by either natural landmarks or signs of activity.
