The Sticky Empire

From Inside Solo Vol no. 2:

The collages of Australian artist, Joel Lambeth, grab you by the eyeballs and make you look. There’s something you recognize there. Could be the words, or the face, or the title, or the feeling. Something familiar, hip, today, yet reaching back through yesterdays. Always dramatic, Joel Lambeth’s black, red, and white works are stars in their own right and in their own galaxy. Joel is a brilliant star in the art world, whom you won’t want to miss.

See Lambeth’s solo exhibit in the feature gallery next week, Monday – Thursday, July 27 – 30th. Meet him on Tuesday and chat over drinks and goodies at his reception.

Just thought you'd like to know...

Accidental Archaeology #1 is the first in a series of books containing the photography of Australian artist, Joel Lambeth. The book is a collection of 68 full page colour photographs taken of found collages from the streets of Sydney and Melbourne over a period of 3 years between 2006 and 2009.

The overlapping textures created by bill posters and other advertising material that have been exposed to time and the elements create complex and strangely beautiful compositions that cannot be dismissed as merely examples of urban decay.

Manifesto #5 (2009)
Collage on wood

I have started a new series of small collage work that I am tentatively calling the “Manifesto” series, and this one is a pretty good example of how they are looking. I have eight pieces completed so far, and at this stage I have no idea how many pieces will make up this series. Although, I get the feeling that it might be quite a few.

I’ll post some more soon!
