Here’s one of the new works Charlie Sofo will be showing at ArtWranglers from next Friday afternoon. Various Stuff, (80 x 60, variable dimensions, enamel on plywood, gel pen, 2008), is one of six new works in the show Colour is Knowledge. Charlie talks about his process in the following way:

It’s amazing that we can make art and continue to talk about things like colour and line. But that is exactly what I’m thinking about: colours and lines.

Colour is knowledge. I’ve tried to use colours as indicators. I’ve coloured surfaces with the colour of other surfaces. I’m interested in the sort of colours that you might find on a colour chart in a paint shop. Ordinary colours.

I’ve drawn lines and tried to define the lines between colours.  I’ve drawn coloured lines and I’ve coloured inside the outlines of particular things.

The new work will be on view from 5.00pm on Friday, 31st October, at 18 Morphett, St, Dickson. If you can’t make the opening, an ArtWrangler or two will be “at home” to all from 10.00am to 5.00 pm from Saturday and Sunday, November 1st and 2nd, plus Tuesday November 4th (the holiday) and on Saturday and Sunday, November 8th and 9th. Outside those hours, during the intervening week, we’re happy to show you the work by appointment by calling 02 6257 0949 or 0402 726 951.
