ALLISIONS: BEN HEDSTRÖM
An ‘allision’ occurs when a moving object strikes a stationary one. It is chiefly a nautical term, however it takes on different resonance given Ben Hedström’s paintings largely take place by the sea. Hedström’s describes the relevance as follows:
“The encounter between the visceral experience of a landscape and its cerebral resonance gives rise to a unique phenomenon—an ‘allision.’ This pivotal moment occurs when one’s being aligns aesthetically, sensually, and emotionally with the stationary object—the landscape. This signifies the genesis of a transformative journey, wherein a profound connection is forged, leading to a deeper understanding of one’s authentic self.”
Ben Hedström (2025)
This exhibition brings together a collection of encounters along the edge of the ocean on the Sunshine Coast.
Ben Hedström’s is an award-winning contemporary Australian artist based on the Sunshine Coast. His work explores the materiality of painting through alla prima and impasto oil techniques, producing textured, luminous artworks that balance gesture with formal compositional elements.
This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate and meet Ben as well as immersing yourself in his fabulous new collection, whilst enjoying a complimentary drinks reception in the Noosa Regional Art Gallery space at Riverside, 9 Pelican Street, Tewantin. To discuss any of these stunning new works by Ben Hedström please contact The G Contemporary Directors Steve Beardsley on 0400 716 526 or Karen Beardsley on 0400 716 553 or by email at [email protected]
The exhibition is online and on view until Sunday 30 March 2025.
