‘Pattern Recognition’ presents new works by Ralf Kempken exploring the abstract pattern work found in shadows and reflections in the inner city streets, parks and gardens of Melbourne. The work draws on current and historical imagery and sometimes combines the two. In altering these familiar vistas to create a ‘perfect Melbourne’ – Kempken reminds us that we have a choice in how we look at the world around us.
