GET LOST, FIND SOMETHING
BY DARREN HENDERSON
29 APRIL -16 MAY
Loved, feared, celebrated and even hated, owls have a long history in many cultures throughout the world. They have been seen as markers of gods, symbols of knowledge, wisdom, fertility, as well as death, famine and destruction. There are few creatures associated with such contradictory meanings.
Inspired by the mythology surrounding owls and human culture, Darren Henderson's infamous owls of the world have struck a chord in many hearts.
Gorker Gallery is proud the present 'Get Lost, Find Something' the debut solo exhibition by Melbourne artist Darren Henderson. His anthropomorphic birds are distinctly individual, each expressing the infinite shades and subtleties of emotion. With an extensive collection of 270 new works, 'Get Lost, Find Something' is a celebration of the unplanned and unexpected. Drawing inspiration from both the simplicities and complexities of life, Darren Henderson has created an enormously evocative and poetic world that people can't help but wish to be a part of.
A founding member of The Autopsy Gallery in Melbourne, Darren has exhibited in a number of group exhibitions and has been featured in several publications including Wooden Toy, Juxtapoz (USA) and Sunday Life (The Herald-Sun and The Sunday Age).
