Gallery 9 presents Zooper Dooper Extended, a collection of recent works by Emma Beer which were exhibited at ANU's Drill Hall from 10 February to 10 April 2022. Zooper Dooper Extended is open at Gallery 9 from 28 September to 29 October.
In a catalogue essay accompanying the exhibition Zooper Dooper at ANU's Drill Hall Gallery, Anja Loughead contends that Beer's paintings 'explore what, or how little, can constitute a painting. Devoid of symbols or signifiers,' Loughead writes, 'the artist creates space for all-allusive feelings.' If much of the interest of seeing Beer's paintings is in the expansive effects of interactions – often, intimacies – between colours, textures, and levels of transparency or opacity, then there is also in Loughead's analysis another set of structuring relationships. These are between forms, on the one hand, and on the other, the embodied experiences we have with and in front of the work. - Erin McFadyen for Artist Profile
