Demanding Proof is an exhibition by Colin Clark. This exhibition has been extended to the end of June,

Colin Clark is a Central Victoria-based printmaker who likes things well made but slightly imperfect, and able to explain themselves. Working primarily in relief printing, his practice is characterised by a sense of humour, sometimes quirky, sometimes dark across a range of themes and ideas. Relief printing has a habit of keeping artists honest. Cuts can't be undone, and every pull of the press records exactly what happened, whether it was planned that way or not. Colin enjoys this lack of safety net, allowing marks, textures and tonal shifts to stay visible rather than tidying them away.

Recent pieces draw on old black-and-white newspaper half-tone dot images, re-imagined famous artworks and book covers in the style of Soviet-era propaganda posters and dogs living up to their names. Humour and wordplay appear often, sometimes quietly, sometimes less so, but always alongside a strong interest in structure and clarity.

Demanding Proof reflects Colin's belief that images should stand up to a closer look. Each work shows not just what it is, but how it came to be, evidence of pressure and process but embodying the pure joy of creating art.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
