“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.
