Terra Incognita

26 January - 7 February 2021

Harry Rothel is a Melbourne based artist working predominantly in painting. His works portray an imaginative narrative, however can often be confrontational in exploring social conventions, politics and the world he lives in. His use of overlapping themes of joy and horror, with the application of subtle and acerbic layers of a stripped back paint create formidable pictures that he hopes challenge the conventions of today

Terra Incognita is a body of works created during lockdown in Harry’s studio in the Dandenong ranges. The title referencing regions not yet mapped or documented in cartography or in Harry’s interpretation worlds not yet created, supports the ominous yet satirical paintings.The body of work depicts landscapes from the area in which Rothel works, reimagined through the application of fanciful terrain and characters.
