Ben Rak - Pictures of Scratches
A publication created to accompany the exhibition Pictures of Scratches at Manly Art Gallery and Museum. Essay by Dr. Tony Curran, and interview with the artist by Dr. Abdullah M.I. Syed.
"This exhibition argues that gesture has a potent and complex capacity to symbolize artistic intention without conflating it with human agency. Gesture can be contradictory, illusory, just like everything else in art. Combining organic forms of gestural abstraction with the hard rigid aesthetics of minimalism and conceptualism creates a paradox between two contradictory structures of human expression. The rigid and the wobbly are best served on the same plate."
