The second iteration of Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery’s (MPRG) new Collection series brings together new and existing work by Melbourne-based artist Louise Rippert alongside New Zealand contemporary artist Steve Carr.

Carr’s ‘Smoke bubble’ photographs from the NGV collection were one of the inspirations for pairing these artists, carefully developed by MPRG Registrar Ainsley Gowing.

This exhibition investigates unifying themes in Rippert and Carr’s work – time, repetition, stillness and tension, circular references and mandalas, structure behind simplicity, memories and family. Bringing Rippert and Carr’s work together creates a visually stunning show, highlighting these linkages and their distinct individual practices.
