Deadpan humour and unflinching honesty are hallmarks of Ellie Ryan and Raffi Butler’s work, with artworks exploring the juxtaposition between playfulness and pain.
Playing with the diverse mediums of sculpture, paintings, digital drawings and kinetic works, the artists explore and question how we experience everyday life and interact with art. There is an underlying discomfort in these works: they are fragile and beautiful, yet clinical in appearance, influenced by consumer culture and environmental concerns.
Pure joy as you wake to the sunrise. Awe as you make it to the snowy peak. A sense of adventure as you motor across red plains. The relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream. Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
