TRANSCENDENCE
9 Sept – 21 Oct 2023, Solo Exhibition, Burrinja Gallery, Wurundjeri Country, Upwey VIC
As never before in our history the connection between humanity and the Earth has reached an impasse - we rest upon a precipice. To overt environmental disaster humanity must acknowledge its spiritual interdependency with the Earth and all species. This exhibition explores the essence of this shift - a ‘transcendence', an awakening, to enable healing of our selves, our planet and safeguard all living things. Transcendence is dedicated to my father Mohamed Fauzee (1934 – 2021). https://aerie.burrinja.org.au/the-gallery/

SHAPESHIFTERS
15 – 26 June 2022, Group Exhibition, Red Gallery Contemporary Art Space, Wurundjeri Country, Fitzroy North, VIC
"Shapeshifters explores the creative ability of the artist to redefine themselves, transgress their chosen medium, look into the future and transcend multidimensionally the world around them in utterly unique ways. Exploring concepts of form, function, sacred geometry, symmetry, pattern, multiple dimensions and colour intrinsically connected to themes of pattern, architecture, minimalism and mathematics. Shapeshifters considers abstraction as an aesthetic strategy to unearth a wealth of individual approaches and disciplines and the curated works themselves will shift through the exhibition." https://www.redgallery.com.au/exhibitions/shapeshifters
SENTINELS
21 May - 18 June 2022, Solo Exhibition, Burrinja Gallery - Wurundjeri Country, Upwey, VIC
The Sentinels Series is dedicated to my father Mohamed Fauzee (1934 – 2021) who encouraged and inspired my art and who instilled within me an appreciation of Nature.
During times of adversity, during times of need, we seek beyond our own selves - we look to the horizon and beyond. We take refuge in wild places. This body of work explores Sentinels around us. Those we may sense but not see. These are watchful and ancient, they dwell within mountains, forests, and the depths of the ocean. The exhibition is composed of three series: Mountains, Forests and Oceans. The works are created with acrylic paint, chalk, and pastel on canvas. https://www.burrinja.org.au/burrinja-whats-on/whats-on-art

TERRAIN
12 - 21 May 2021, Solo Exhibition, George Paton Gallery, The University of Melbourne, Wurundjeri Country, VIC
The terrains of land and the mind are in constant flux creating, diminishing, and recreating. In this exhibition there are challenging terrains, quiet places to rest, and places with hidden meaning.
Landscapes featured are mountainous sentinels, stars in the cosmos and the human city. Mindscapes explore the shifts which occur when we venture into the unknown. The works in Terrain feature white chalk against a solid painted background. There is a calligraphic sensibility - the meaning left for the viewer to interpret.
