Press Release

STATION is delighted to present Goodnight Room, Dane Lovett’s eighth solo exhibition with the gallery.

Taking his subjects from the gardens passed by, Lovett renders flowers, grass and foliage in his unique style of magnification and distortion. Working with restricted colour palettes and heightened contrast, he confuses the distinctions between positive and negative space, luring us to look more closely at the world in front of us.

In Goodnight Room, Lovett intentionally exposes his hand through painterly gestures, brushstrokes and layers. Built up on smooth, prepared surfaces, these works shift between flatness and texture, creating fervour and tension between the image and the act of painting itself. Lovett further reveals the mechanics of his practice by gradually exposing the underpaintings across this new body of work, heightening the relationship between what is seen and what is suggested.

About the Artist

Dane Lovett’s paintings are precisely crafted observations of familiar subject matter – from domestic plants and flowers to music and popular culture ¬– echoing art historic traditions of still-life painting, yet taking on new meaning through the act of repetition. Lovett merges a hazy, photorealistic formal technique with an experimental approach to surface matter, often applying his paint to aluminium or wooden board. A restrictive palette and play with positive and negative space enhance his distinct approach to mark making. The conflation of these processes emphasis- es a larger enquiry into how design, tension and balance shape our approach to relatively modest subject matter. Elegant vistas of still life, Lovett’s paintings are simultaneously nostalgic and entirely contemporary.
