HolyGreenCow Second Birthday!!

Today marks the 2nd Anniversary of my first use of HolyGreenCow as a pseudonym for my artistic endeavours.

It’s been a long, arduous and at times, brilliant year. Art highlights include being a finalist in the Prometheus, my inclusion in the Art bank collection and the completion of my Honours year at QCA.

Not to mention making some amazing new friends and producing work that makes me smile.

I am proud of all that I have achieved in the last 2 years but my biggest accomplishment would have to be the birth of little Cordelia  <3

A big thanks to Jean-Maree, my wife, for putting up with me and being so supportive and Ray Cook, officially my supervisor at QCA, but unofficially, the man without whom I would never have started or continued this journey.

Next year is going to be big, starting with the solo exhibition at Bundaberg Regional Gallery and my series of talks in schools… It’s going to a great experience!!

Cheers

Ian

Honours Show

Meets the Star - Cordelia Grace Pool in her first major role!!!

If you didn’t get a chance to pop along to the 2011 Honours Graduate show at the QCA, there is still time. It closes Sunday.

It was Cordy’s second Art exhibition and it was clear which photo she thought was the best  :p

 

 

The Greatest Story Ever Told II

Finally, after a year, the new series is online and will debut at next weeks Grad show for Honours at QCA. (details in previous post)

This series has been incredible to make and there are so many people I would like to thank, but have already done that in person.

The Jpegs don’t do justice to the 1.5m prints, but if you can’t get to the show, there will be others in the new year!!

Stay posted.

Here it is…

Scene 2 - The Forbidden Fruit (Gathering Evil)

Honours Exhibition

Those who wish to see the new series ‘The Greatest Story Ever Told II’ it will be shown at the Honours Exhibition.

Details attached.

Many thanks to the wonderful people that helped make this year long project happen.

I couldn’t be happier with the work. I am so grateful to everyone that was a part of this.

See you there!!!

 

New Series..

It’s been a loooooong year this year. The birth of Cordelia has been the highlight, yet this entire year has been consumed by my Honours project.

It is this that I am about to give birth to this week

Without giving too much away, here’s a poster that makes up the introduction to my new series.

All will be revealed Friday after I have been officially assessed and can unleash this fantastic series on the world!!

I can’t wait!!!

Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery 2012

Just had some great news, HolyGreenCow has just been asked to exhibit at BRAG (Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery) early next year as part of the QLD Festival of Photography.

The exhibition will feature the They Came series in it’s entirety and will run for 2 months. More details as they come to hand…

Opening Night at the QCP – August 2011

Pretty amazing exhibition to be a part of… The work of Alberto Sanchez has to be seen in the flesh!!

Unfortunately, as this was Cordelia’s first exhibition, we couldn’t stick around and I regret that I missed an opportunity to chat with fellow artists Gemma-Rose Turnbull and Samantha Everton.

Great to see Callum Ross’s show too. I felt pleased to be in such good company. ‘austrALIENation‘ was really well received and the QCP did an amazing job hanging the show.

It was easily our favourite show to see at the QCP and it was great to see so many people there. Cheers.

Ian

Just to prove we were there...

The girls and Casper... a family affair.

Exhibition at the QCP

Prometheus Art Award

Kitty Revenge 2 Finalist in the Prometheus Art Award 2011

 

Well it wasn’t a win at the Awards, but it was a great night. Thanks to Clarissa Bones for coming along and getting me in the T2 lane

I have to admit… It was humbling to be chosen as a finalist. There was so much work I just loved!! 2 in particular that I would have bought on the spot, if I’d won the $15,000

The award was one by someone from Uni too. So I was one of two from QCA Photography. That was pretty cool too.

Luckily, the winning work contained NO ADVERBS…

:p
