Detail of Gary Pumfrey, 'Conca's', 50 x 70 cm, oil on canvas

Up the rusty staircase towards the studio door. Your footsteps make a dull pong...pong... sound like a medieval bell. It lets everyone in the building sense in an almost subliminal way that someone's arriving... This is the staircase to Gotham Studios in Perth, the origin of this exhibition.
All the artists in this show have, at some stage, worked from Gotham, often referred to as the longest running artists' space in the city.
Kevin Robertson, curator, Configured.

Configured is an exciting selection of contemporary representational painting from established mid-career and early career Perth artists. Curated by Perth figurative artist Kevin Robertson, Configured situates current figurative practice in a distinctly postmodern context by selecting artists who choose to re-work images from the past and explore contemporary imagery. The exhibition also includes a younger generation of artists exploring representation.

From Kevin Robertson's unconventional figure studies to Jo Darbyshire's haunting under-water jellyfish paintings to Garry Pumfrey's suburban delis and Joanna Lamb's uneasy representations of the suburban landscape, this show contains a diverse range of subjects and styles. Together, the collection of works is a comprehensive look at the state of figurative painting in Perth.

Exhibiting artists are Jo Darbyshire, Leanne Emmitt, Richard Gunning, Thomas Hoareau, Joanna Lamb, Kevin Robertson, David Lamb, Andrew Daly and Garry Pumfrey.
