Danie Mellor's 'Awake (in the Dream)' at Tolarno Galleries

This exhibition introduces a collection of mixed-media artworks that merge painting with photography, reflecting a notable evolution in Mellor's artistic style, as he believes these pieces defy traditional categorization. His creations feature a combination of his own photographs and historical visuals, including portraits and postcards from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, captured by photographers like Alfred Atkinson and Dr. Walter Roth, who served as the protector of Aboriginals in Queensland.
