Andrew Blake [2006]

ANDREW BLAKE has an extraordinary vision contained in his ironwood sculptures. The wood comes from The Arnhemland area and is a solid hardwood that is highly labour intensive to carve. His influences come from the land in NE Arnhemland, what he has learned about nature and the land from Aboriginal elders and his own observations. He looks for natural motifs such as stems or flowers ?within? the existing wood and works with what already exists to set free the image within the material. There is an element of randomness in his choice of material, which passes through the filter of his own consciousness to produce works of great beauty and emotional impact.

ANNANDALE GALLERIES are proud to have the opportunity to present the first solo exhibition of the sculpture of Andrew Blake. This body of work has been years in the gestation and the quality of the work and depth of his commitment as an artist promises a watershed exhibition for both artist and gallery.
