In a studio on a South Brisbane verandah, James Fardoulys (1900-1975)
conjured Australian outback and colonial scenes in high register colour
and a carnivalesque tone. He arrived in Australia from Kythera, Greece
in 1914, and criss-crossed outback Queensland and NSW with his
ventriloquist wife and vaudeville troupe in the 1920s. Taking up painting
after he retired from taxi driving in 1960, Fardoulys mixed memories with
whimsy, history with fantasy, and quickly established himself as one of
Australia’s foremost naïve painters.
In a kitchen in Athens in 2016, Dean Manning (1964-) mixed traditional
Greek pigments to etch out fragments of Athenian life: portraits of rembetiko
singers from the 1920s, graffiti and street protests, smoke and conversation
in cafes, refugees arriving in Onassis’ port, Ariadne’s thread and the Minotaur.
His paintings and video animation find their way beneath the surface of his
father’s homeland. Like Fardoulys, Manning is part of the Greek diaspora
and a self-taught painter, arriving at painting through his music.
The Air is Free brings together Manning’s imagined Greece with Fardoulys’
imagined Australia.

Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do. 퍼스트카지노
