Patrick Dagg, Time Is an Ocean, but It Ends at the Shore, 2023. Mixed media on canvas. Courtesy: the artist and James Makin Gallery, Melbourne.

In his latest exhibition, dreams, Patrick Dagg continues his exploration of symbols, stand-ins and marks as a personal, codified language to discuss themes of death, love, and memory.

Sourcing images from cinema, art history, design, and everyday life, the exhibition enacts a state of remembrance that draws upon the subconscious dreamscape. Dagg’s work has long challenged the medium of painting and the bounds of printmaking, and the hierarchies of class and art history that they represent.

Opening Event: Saturday 19 August, 2 – 4pm.
