Transient City

Jacob Leary and Carolyn Wigston investigate the urban landscape in Transient City. Questioning the relationship between artist and the environment, the exhibition seeks to open dialogue between the created reality of day-to-day life and the contemporary consumer culture in which it feeds.
Australia's urban landscape has materialized rapidly, urbanites themselves evolving and modifying to live in the emerging cities. Australian artists are not pre-disposed to centuries of city-history and culture and have a unique viewpoint when depicting the urban landscape.
Perth based Leary and Hobart based Wigston investigate mans repetitious role within the city through abstracted geometric forms. The use of industrial paints, metals and polymers, provide unique interpretations of the constructed environment.
Carolyn Wigston is currently completing her undergraduate degree in Fine Arts at the University of Tasmania. Her work has been exhibited in Living Artist Week in Hobart and a solo show seen in May 2006 at Entrepot Gallery Hobart.
Jacob Leary has appeared in numerous group exhibitions around Hobart holding his first solo exhibition in November 2005 at Entrepot Gallery, Hobart.
