Synergy. One plus one equals three. Collaboration is any two or more components working in concert that results in an outcome that would not have been achieved were it not for the collaboration. While Natalie and Pip Ryan maintain celebrated solo art practices that span drawing, watercolour, sculpture, and installation, together they collaborate on projects that delve into the surreal, the kooky, and the macabre. This exhibition is the first time all “three” will be shown together, with nearly sixty works created over the last fifteen years on view.
“One + One = Three: Natalie Ryan, Pip Ryan and The Ryan Sisters anatomises the practices of these siblings, laying out the constituent parts for analysis and understanding. But like Frankenstein’s project, when the elements get mixed together and reassembled, a new creature is born.” – Michael Brennan, Gallery Director Noosa Regional Gallery.
