2024 Grainger Gallery
BENJAMIN SHINE

Grainger Gallery is proud to welcome Benjamin Shine back for his first Australian show since April 2021 with “Flow.” This small body of work showcases his extraordinary talents with tulle, with limited portraits available for sale, as well as showing examples of work that can be commissioned through the gallery.

Benjamin Shine is a multidisciplinary artist most known for his pioneering work in tulle, which centres on ideas of energy, impermanence and the relationship between the spiritual and the superficial.

New works from his ongoing ‘Flow’ series, serve as Shine’s personal practice of tribute to mindfulness and meditation. In these sculptural works, the notion of finding clarity within chaos is reflected in the self-assembling, anonymous faces whose form unfolds from a single length of tulle.

In these artworks, the Artist uses the transparent material in a variety of ways
to sculpt “paintings”, three-dimensional forms, objects and large-scale installations.
Using an iron, and deftly manipulating the tulle, Shine’s vision and care manifest through each fold of the fabric, becoming frozen in time and capturing the defined image.
