James Dodd’s solo exhibition, Pacific Rift, the opening of which was held at Lindberg Galleries in Melbourne on the weekend, is a beautiful collection of sun-soaked works. Taking Pacific regional Australian graffiti and reinvigorating the art through photograph and stencil, Dodd takes us into his liquid, dream like world; and the journey is quite something.

Each piece holds its own sense of story, something seemingly indescribable, yet worth the vivi,d colourful and pattern rich expedition!

“I have chosen a couple of limiting parameters for this project…This body of work has been as much about colour as form. The choices are an extension of my ongoing use of vibrant fluorescent colours as hijacked from bill posters and street advertising.”

This solo exhibition is my second with Lindberg Contemporary. The work that I have produced represents a return to stencil driven outcomes. Encompassing experiments that link the work to ongoing investigations, the show consists of a number of installed and painted works executed over the last 6 months.” – Dodd said.

The show runs til the 25th of September so if you didn’t make the opening night there is still plenty of time to get down and get immersed!
