EXHIBITION STATEMENT
“Walking through the aisles of Bunnings looking for a circular saw blade, spirit level and 3M hooks I ended up in the nursery. I bought a coffee from the kiosk and started taking photos of all the plants and flowers, neatly arranged in long rows, stacked on tiered shelving like cereal. This was the beginning of a small series of paintings, the idea given to me by chance”.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Bartok’s work can loosely be described as Pop social commentary, taking images from the social spheres of Google and then hand-tracing, scanning, and re-contextualising them into an allegory for our current cultural situation.
Human failure, light entertainment and social constructs are playfully lampooned into a kaleidoscope of the public and private worlds of Western civilisation.
“I recognise the privileged role of the artist to be able to reflect the world around them and to question things we take for granted, without any outside editing or mediation. I’m not interested in art about art or art about theory, I’m interested in art about us.”

EXHIBITION STATEMENT
Katie Clarke creates soft sculptures that explore the relationship between the hand-made and the machine-made. Through the use of yarn and scrap metal, her work challenges traditional notions of consistency and perfection associated with the industrial age. Instead, Clarke embraces the unpredictable and the flawed, highlighting the unique qualities of handmade craftsmanship.
Working intuitively with different thicknesses, colours, and textures, Clarke allows abstract forms and shapes to emerge organically. She incorporates scrap metal, which has been discarded or deemed unusable, as a structural element, which she then “fleshes out” with yarn. This blending of the hand-made and the machine-made creates a tension that subverts the predictable processes of industrial textile production, and re-invents traditional handmade crafts. Her work reflects the idea that the hand-made is not less valuable than the machine-made, rather it has the potential for spontaneity and experimentation.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Katie Clarke is an artist based in Sydney, who honed her craft through a Bachelor of Fine Arts program at National Art School. Her primary focus is sculpture, where she particularly displays interest in exploring the interplay between the hand-made and the machine-made. Clarke often integrates scrap metal and crochet/knitted yarn into works to create a dynamic tension between these two mediums. By embracing and emphasising the innate imperfections and flaws within her pieces, she aims to draw attention to the unpredictable and organic nature of handmade craftsmanship. Her work is influenced by the industrial landscape of the suburb in which she was raised, and strives to use scrap metal as a means of connecting with personal history and the broader cultural narrative.

EXHIBITION STATEMENT
The Confection series aims to explore the relationship between advertising and the queer body, appropriating its visual language to lampoon through exaggeration the commodification of identity inherent to consumer culture along with the ideals and standards it inherently presents.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Hugo Fraser is a non-binary photomedia artist living and working on Gadigal land in Sydney, Australia. Their practice revolves around the body as a site of great significance in regard to common yet subjective experiences of gender, sexuality, memory and trauma. The artist often uses their own body as both subject and object, rendering through flesh and physical expression an understanding of that which is innate, acquired or performed.

EXHIBITION STATEMENT
This selection of work was mostly completed after art school. They evolved over many months, imbued with the processes I employ in the studio. They have come to mark a particular point in time and speak of transformation while highlighting my fascination with colour and surface.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I am John Mangila. I was born in the Philippines, live and work in Sydney.
The ultimate goal of my art practice is to create freely, guided by intuition. I’m interested in the creative act itself and finding poetry in the materials that I engage with in the studio. I utilise contemporary abstraction to explore beauty as an experience, encourage improvisation, celebrate chance and present an alternate way of seeing and being in the world.

ARTIST STATEMENT
Through the assembly of found domestic and industrial objects, Martin John Oldfield investigates the link between human attributes and mechanical gestures in his work. One sculpture might be a party-going assemblage, drunk and hell-bent on making noise, another might be quietly useless. Twenty years of experience repairing heavy equipment informs his technical approach to making; tinkering and shed culture are central to a life spent fixing things. Oldfield’s assemblages are punctuated with absurdity as punchlines while maintaining a dialogue with material histories and deeper existential narratives.
EXHIBITION STATEMENT
Art school is a curious place to disarrange previously held ideas and positions while exploring new ways of learning through tacit knowledge. The fragmented torso, rhythmic steel structure, and assemblage that creates a gesture with a rotating feather represent a progression toward a focus on movement—reconciling my trade background and creative practice heavily influenced my material choices and approach to making this work.

EXHIBITION STATEMENT
Time and space play with my mind.
How does an artist make such immensities into a visual and tactile object?
In my work, micro-worlds of cellular proportions float with cosmic imagery. A viewer is left to decide which is which. The ambiguous scale of the work speaks to deep time interconnection between immensity and the microscopic.
Over time so deep it is beyond comprehension, the first generation of exploding stars gave rise to primary elements, which gave rise to planetary bodies. Minerals on Earth gave rise to life. Astoundingly, though obviously, all matter has imagery in common because all existence is basically the same stuff. My art interprets such interconnection.
Most of the works were made at the residency I was incredibly fortunate to be awarded by The Foundations, Portland. I lived and worked in an old cottage, The Squatter’s Residence, and had free reign of the huge site that was once the cement works that built Sydney. The quarries are now lakes of crystal water, and the old industrial buildings are slowly being reworked into a cultural and community hub.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Very big looks very much the same as very small.
The milky haze of Venus is not so different from the hazy microbes in milk. This is because all matter comes from one source and force. My work explores such interconnectedness, suggesting the affinity between life and non-life. Using Earth’s evolution as foundation, I aim at cosmic, geologic and biologic ambiguity.
In my practice, materials and processes are elemental. Every day I eat breakfast while surrounded by the universe and so I use eggshell and tea in my work to speak of that mundane experience on the brink of eternity, and to provide artistic limits to a limitless subject. Plaster, cotton and rice-paper are other material voices that help me whisper a story of deep time planetary evolution.
Art can offer, I believe, a form of time travel. Ideally I would like my work to provide, at a glimpse, aesthetic satisfaction, and with lingering contemplation, a conceptual journey into beyond-human time and space.

Justine Roche is a Sydney-based artist whose photographic practice explores multiplicities of perspectives underpinned by how memory, culture, personal experience, and photography influence the way we perceive the world. Justine is interested in ambiguity and beauty found in the ordinary and unexpected. Her body of work, Dark Eden, investigates the material and elusive imaginative elements of wetlands and the possibilities of representation via photographic practices. Justine is particularly drawn to the 19th-century wet collodion process of exposing images directly on metal plates for their haunting, timeless qualities and the imperfect traces left by the maker.

ARTIST STATEMENT
Olivia Elaine Tahan has a sculpture-based practice, working primarily in ceramics. Her work is inspired by her passion for the natural world, exploring themes of beauty, love, and loss. In response to climate change, Olivia handcrafts intricate sculptural light forms that emulate bleached coral, portraying how just one degree can make a devastating difference.
Olivia has travelled throughout Australia and Canada, from coral reefs to glacial landscapes, witnessing first-hand the effects of climate change. Taking inspiration from coral and repetitive patterns in nature, Olivia places her focus on the intricacies of form and mark-making to show signs of life whilst keeping her colour palette quite limited to echo the opposite. She works in mid-fire porcelain for its luminosity and poetic qualities, and more importantly to minimize her ecological footprint as a ceramicist. Through her work, she hopes to spark curiosity and gently spread awareness of this contemporary topic.

ARTIST STATEMENT
Sylvie Veness is an emerging artist who is based on the South Coast of NSW. Specialising in drawing, printmaking and textiles, Veness creates abstract works on paper that juxtapose materials and gestures with symbols and asemic text. The resultant works are diaristic compositions that explore the paradoxical aspects of inner life such as tension and fear, silence and serenity.
Veness completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2017 for which she was awarded the National Art School University Medal. In the same year she also won the John Olsen Drawing Prize and the Parkers Printmaking Prize. In 2018 she was a finalist for the Meroogal Art Prize and the Waverley Art Prize.
Veness has recently graduated from the National Art School with a Master of Fine Arts degree. This qualification was supported by the award of the East Sydney Doctors Scholarship in 2021.
In 2022, on the completion of Veness’ post-graduate studies, she received The Australian Galleries Award.

ARTIST STATEMENT
My current project focuses on Chinese market gardens in Sydney and regional NSW, in which local indigenous and colonial histories were embedded with the physical characteristics of these marginal, low-lying, densely farmed zones in the local ecosystems. Inspired by the composite view of Google Maps that combines aerial view and street perspectives, I create work transforming geographic features of these gardens as intertwined colours, forms and patterns using the methods of Chinese landscape painting and abstract expressionism in diverse media. Through this process, I seek to embrace a culturally diverse position of place within the expanded field of painting, in which landscape can express living memories while simultaneously embodying an artistic process of understanding the nuanced social and cultured landscape in which we live.

ARTIST STATEMENT
Waldemar Kirpichnikov is a Sydney-based visual artist who works in the ceramic medium and creates unusually shaped objects through the process of hand-building. These objects are abstract, yet some may allude to functional ceramics, resembling vases, pots, or plates. Waldemar’s work is informed by the natural environment and carries a reference to an abundance of asymmetrical forms and a variety of textured surfaces found in nature. Working with the sculptures’ exterior, Waldemar experiments with and combines different materials such as slips, clays, underglazes, special effect glazes, lacquer, and metal powders – this adds visual complexity to the works. The making of each piece involves multiple stages and firings, and it often takes months before the object acquires its final appearance.

Harvey Galleries was founded by the Harvey family in 1994 with an eye to establish a dynamic and inclusive contemporary art space on the North Shore of Sydney. For almost three decades we have expanded our reach to over three gallery locations and an ever expanding stable of the best artists Australia has to offer.
Harvey Galleries acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which our galleries stand. The Guringai people (Seaforth), the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney), and the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation (Melbourne).
We pay our respect to Elders past and present.
