Mind Your Head 2022
Solo Presentation, Melbourne Art Fair, Finkelstein Gallery
Presenting a unique selection of works by Catherine Coady under a title ‘Mind Your Head’.
The central to COADY’s practice is exploration of oscillation between manic and focused emotional states.
Coady's technically complex and detailed pills sculptures, are the representation of control and focus state, whereas Coady’s paintings are manifestation of manic and overwhelming state. Despite the popularity of COADY’s pill sculptures her art practice is rooted in painting. 'Mind Your Head' is an exhibition that completes the dialogue of two artistic expressions and presents COADY’s practice to the audience as a whole.
The body of work has been created over the last couple of years, each depicting an emotional state of the artist at that time.The timing to present these paintings couldn’t be more fitting, as in the last 2 years society has endured extreme mental challenges, Mind Your Head is an honest conversation about the complexities and challenges of a human mind.
