In the Zone
by The Cat Street Gallery
Location: The Cat Street Gallery
Artist(s): Camie LYONS, Bundit PUANGTHONG, Ezra TALMATCH
Date: 10 Jun - 4 Jul 2009

In the Zone is a group exhibition that cultivates an international and interdisciplinary dialogue between artists immersed in their own creative worlds. The show brings together the sophisticated kitsch cross-cultural paintings of Melbourne-based Thai artist, Bundit Puangthong with the intuitive and surreal mixed media pieces of New Yorker Ezra Talmatch. They are joined by the graceful and organically inspired works of the Australian sculptor, Camie Lyons.

Bundit Puangthong's vivid paintings incorporate elements of traditional Thai art, American pop art and contemporary street art in an attempt to strike a balance between the cultures in which he lives. The artist employs a range of mixed media including house paints, acrylics, oil sticks, spray paint and glues, and utilises a range of techniques from stencilling and graffiti art, to more detailed academic brushwork. In 2008 the artist was a finalist in the Sovereign Art Prize.

Ezra Talmatch creates textures paintings that are built upon drawing and collage. His art abandons the norms of reason and transports the observer into a world cultivated by metaphors and a unique visual language. Talmatch's unique compositions often employ imagery evolved from interpretations of dreams and memories. The artist has been exhibited extensively throughout New York City.

Camie Lyons' graceful sculptures often bring to mind the art of drawing, in that there is more negative space than sculpted material. In this negative space dynamic energy is captured, allowing the sculptures to be viewed from many perspectives and even turned on their sides. Unsurprisingly the artist's background is in dance which equips her with a keen sense of timing, rhythm and line. Lyons lives and works in Sydney where she has had several solo exhibitions.
