Colour Separations presents etchings, screen prints and lithographs from Canberra artist Tony Curran produced in collaboration with VCA Editions, Cicada Press at UNSW, and Megalo Print Studio.

This vivid series includes abstract prints alongside paintings and digital artworks, which the artist collectively calls ‘Attention Machines’.  Taking on the colour palette of the pixel – red, green and blue – Curran questions the effect of smart devices in polarising communities and encouraging binary or ‘black and white’ thinking. 

Tony Curran (b.1984) is a Canberra-based artist working between painting, drawing and creative code.  His works explore the impact of smart devices on engagement with contemporary art and visual culture, including audience reception, collaboration and authorship in a software dependent world.

Due to the COVID-19 lockdown across the ACT, the gallery is temporarily CLOSED to public until Thursday 2 September. Please see the virtual exhibition by clicking the link below.

Colour Separations is on display at Megalo Print Studio from Saturday 31 July until Saturday 4 September.
