An exhibition on wheels! Catch this moving gallery on the road around South Australia. The vibrant artwork is by South Australian artist James Dodd, from his 'Painting Mill' project.

"The Painting Mill project continues to form a core of my practice, around which other things oscillate. I consider the Painting Mill as a celebration of basic machines and the way they are incorporated into our lives. In this case, the machine becomes a tool and a process that is integrated into my painting practice, which is a broader exploration of colour and abstraction. "

About the artist:
James Dodd is an artist who works across a wide range of mediums. He is interested in the splashes of creativity that can be found in public spaces, especially suburbia. This has many manifestations, from simple paintings to strange contraptions or sculptures that look like they have been “home-brewed in the garden shed”. Since completing his Masters in Visual Arts at the University of South Australia, Dodd has gone on to create an extensive body of work that he has exhibited in both solo and group exhibitions. He challenges traditional notions of genre, fitting comfortably into a traditional gallery setting whilst also exploring new frontiers in visual street culture and the creative use of urban spaces. Painting has always been a core part of his practice. However, his impressive body of work also encompasses built structures, murals and a diverse catalogue of public art. Dodd teaches at the Adelaide Central School of Art, leads community projects and exhibits regularly across Australia.
