Latrobe Regional Gallery, Gallery 4
Anchored by Jacky Redgate’s STRAIGHTCUT series, the exhibition explores photography’s engagement with abstraction, representation and landscape. These works illustrate the medium’s capacity to both interrogate and transcend the literal.
Featuring works from the Latrobe Regional Gallery Collection, STRAIGHTCUT shines a spotlight on the artistry of local photographers alongside some of Australia’s most renowned names in the discipline.
Spanning decades of photographic practice, from as early as 1933, STRAIGHTCUT invites viewers to explore the diversity and depth of photographic expression, showcasing the talent and technical skill that define the medium.
This selection of gems from the Gallery’s permanent collection offers visitors an opportunity to appreciate and reflect on these significant works, including the focal STRAIGHTCUT series by Jackie Redgate, in dialogue with the vibrant works from local Gippsland photography clubs in the neighbouring Gippsland Interclub Photography Exhibition.
