As the curator of the 2011 exhibition, “Disparity’ located at the Gold Coast exhibition centre, I am pleased to present to you the bodies of work of contemporary artists; Bryoni Barr and Bai Yiluo. The following essay will explore how each of their work compliments the theme of this year exhibition. Baio Yilou’s pieces in his Body of work, Civilization, adopt techniques of visual language to communicate both the focus of disparity and concept emergence of emergence in his work. Briony Barr achieves the same as she uses natural urban landscapes as a canvas upon which she layers with purely organic lines that have little relation to each other but lots to do with the movement of the artist. The spontaneity of Barr’s artificial lines in contrast to the relatively permanent and structured developments of the city alludes to the exhibitions the theme of disparity and more broadly emergence. The curatorial thread that links the two diversely different artists to each other is their ability to unify concepts that are not typically represented in close proximity to each other. The following two articles on Briony Barr and Bai Yiluo will explore how these artists utilise aspects of their personal aesthetic to communicate their intended meaning and justify the purpose of their art.
