Shadow Crossed The Sky sees McMahon embrace the immediacy of composition, laying bare an indelible human presence that eschews the coldness of pure geometric painting. Interested in subverting the two-dimensionality and graphic quality associated with the surface plane, this new body of work is firmly rooted in the subjectivity of experience and perception. The exhibition spans work produced during the artist’s Samstag Scholarship-sponsored MFA in Rotterdam, NL in 2023, alongside those made since her arrival in Naarm, tracing the artist’s ongoing interest in the architectural and the rhythmic within abstraction. The paintings on show in Shadow Crossed The Sky are often reworked and overpainted–a textural acknowledgement of the structural elements surmising each composition. This process of application alludes to the temporal nature of McMahon’s practice, with each work emerging as a procedural testimony of its own making. Traces of distinctive shapes are concealed, as relief forms find themselves submerged in a lingering, subterranean space. Though rather than search for the hidden, suspended narrative encrypted below, these paintings invite viewers to look for themselves at what is perceptible. Here, McMahon invokes slippery, transgressive forms such as colour gradients while stretching motifs across the boundaries of diptychs to circumvent the insularity that encapsulates formalist abstract painting. Facilitating an internal dialogue that follows its own logic, McMahon’s works are thoroughly palpable, experiential objects that invoke the artist’s studio presence. Oscillating between bold collations to tacit arrangements, Shadow Crossed the Sky features works compositionally weighted by recurrent equivocal shapes. Imbuing each work with a sense of tension and theatre sensitive to the painting’s own conditions, McMahon negates the reverential posturing of post-war minimalist painting. By mining and exposing the mechanics of abstraction, these paintings are characterised by a loosened, highly receptive relationship to form and tonality.

Dec 2020 Luke Brennan, Guy Grabowsky, Lucina Lane, Patrick Lundberg, Marlee McMahon Deep, swirling mystical energy pulls you in and you are greeted by a glistening waxy surface. Futurist gestures and rainbow caverns to your left, electrically charged static to your right. These are works you can hear. Paintings lie on a cold industrious floor, cushioned by the weight of their bodies, bruised from their making. An arm and a leg reach out, the other screams ‘Free’ The openness of abstract paintings is evident in the installation. One glides across a large expanse of white, while its partner leads a gentle slope from itself to the surrounding architecture.Fissures along the back wall appear as slits in time, openings to other possible worlds. Here, abstraction becomes a window, what is visible is entirely dependent on one’s frame of mind.Through a process of symbiosis, these photographs lose their objective quality. Not that they ever were objective in the first place, but perhaps this is a more justified equilibrium between subjectivity.As the sun sets, we become weary. The reference to Adi Da becomes apparent: “Come into my apartments, and we’ll suffer through a deep breakfast of pure sunlight.”Hayden Stuart, November 2020 <img width="2126" height="1417" width_o="2126" height_o="1417" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/34d0b7082a3c51b6c4b6fcb73f5eba19043a6c31cf22f6048b7f11bf99356ea8/Haydens---Deep-breakfast-211.jpg" data-mid="214035102" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/34d0b7082a3c51b6c4b6fcb73f5eba19043a6c31cf22f6048b7f11bf99356ea8/Haydens---Deep-breakfast-211.jpg" /> <img width="2126" height="1417" width_o="2126" height_o="1417" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2047c4eb99be04a2f546865712eab2832c84a1b979ce8cb6d712c441bacce98e/Haydens---Deep-breakfast-227---Copy.jpeg" data-mid="145787588" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2047c4eb99be04a2f546865712eab2832c84a1b979ce8cb6d712c441bacce98e/Haydens---Deep-breakfast-227---Copy.jpeg" /> L–R: Marlee McMahon, Lucina Lane, Patrick Lundberg, Guy Grabowsky <img width="2126" height="1417" width_o="2126" height_o="1417" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0e9b9a350a30be45317ac444188f48cc40e2403eb93c598212badea4ac17ea4a/Haydens---Deep-breakfast-245.jpeg" data-mid="145787592" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0e9b9a350a30be45317ac444188f48cc40e2403eb93c598212badea4ac17ea4a/Haydens---Deep-breakfast-245.jpeg" />L–R: Guy Grabowsky, Lucina Lane, Marlee McMahon <img width="1500" height="1288" width_o="1500" height_o="1288" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/63f4a41f4de5f0056183e6117e9f7981c9812f6e2b63af9654c15a10472fc442/Marlee-McMahon---Gliding-2---Copy.jpeg" data-mid="145787589" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/63f4a41f4de5f0056183e6117e9f7981c9812f6e2b63af9654c15a10472fc442/Marlee-McMahon---Gliding-2---Copy.jpeg" />Gliding2020, oil on canvas, 200x255mm <img width="994" height="2126" width_o="994" height_o="2126" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fbced831d83950e20411463e46c47eef8844f15f92e984e134f91ab678e08898/3---Copy.jpeg" data-mid="145787594" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/994/i/fbced831d83950e20411463e46c47eef8844f15f92e984e134f91ab678e08898/3---Copy.jpeg" />Slopes2020, oil on canvas, 560x200mm (diptych) https://marleemcmahon.com/Melodic-Living-Room Wed, 03 Jul 2024 05:18:30 +0000 Marlee McMahon https://marleemcmahon.com/Melodic-Living-Room Melodic Living Room Marlee McMahon and Martin George Private address, Fitzroy North, Naarm/Melbourne; Full project online www.melodiclivingroom.com Published online July 17, 2020 ‘Melodic Living Room sees painters Marlee McMahon and Martin George experiment with new approaches to their separate practices.Installed in McMahon’s white-walled living room and consisting of five small paintings each, these two bodies of work were produced over months of working in adjacent studios during COVID-19 restrictions. With a lack of immediate deadlines on the one hand and extra studio time on the other, both artists felt freed to take risks, and the works in Melodic Living Room lean towards gesture and spontaneity within different registers of abstraction...’ - Anna Dunnill All documentation by Christo Crocker <img width="1571" height="967" width_o="1571" height_o="967" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/270144cf15b4b2724cd507d5be0cbc8d32c8a140dc724fbb42b6bb0eff9c3026/editied-for-web-.jpg" data-mid="214039261" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/270144cf15b4b2724cd507d5be0cbc8d32c8a140dc724fbb42b6bb0eff9c3026/editied-for-web-.jpg" /> <img width="2126" height="1417" width_o="2126" height_o="1417" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/edb166d45595e24071d131be590877d3d724d61e99b3f04cd029082d79fec562/Marlee-McMahon---Melodic-Livingroom-051.jpg" data-mid="214039250" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/edb166d45595e24071d131be590877d3d724d61e99b3f04cd029082d79fec562/Marlee-McMahon---Melodic-Livingroom-051.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1250" width_o="1500" height_o="1250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5509d31182adbe4393d5e6b69e8eb915184cdb3f56b7c1ada8f25d8435b6a99f/Marlee-McMahon---Melodic-Livingroom-191.jpeg" data-mid="244566477" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5509d31182adbe4393d5e6b69e8eb915184cdb3f56b7c1ada8f25d8435b6a99f/Marlee-McMahon---Melodic-Livingroom-191.jpeg" /> Slow Response,2020, oil on canvas, 200x255mm <img width="1600" height="1235" width_o="1600" height_o="1235" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0bf6a9ccaa9be268f488f624054f0a9d52301cda78de0e3e62fb368f9bd21d52/Marlee-McMahon---Melodic-Livingroom-253.jpg" data-mid="244566535" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0bf6a9ccaa9be268f488f624054f0a9d52301cda78de0e3e62fb368f9bd21d52/Marlee-McMahon---Melodic-Livingroom-253.jpg" /> Martin George, Two Flying Figures (Archway), 2020, Acrylic on paper, framed, 305 x 430mm sheet; 380 x 505mm frame
