Virtual Opening Night - Drawing Machines: Instruments in Motion
Matthew Asling (Artist and Freelance Art Director) & Charlie Harding (Artist & Art Framer)
Matt and Charlie have put together an art show during isolation.
This is their virtual opening night with a preview of key pieces.
Charlie Ingemar Harding and Matthew Asling respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet, exhibit and create art.
We pay our respects to Elders past and present, as well as to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the wider Melbourne community and beyond. Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded.
Drawing Machines: Instruments in Motion
Matthew Asling: Nunchaku Painting Instrument
Charlie Ingemar Harding (b.1992) is a Naarm/Melbourne based artist, working predominantly in painting and installation. Charlie’s humanist approach to his practice is candid and spontaneous, cultivating sincere, quiet moments. He realises his art through his process - instinctive and understated. There is a solitary feeling in viewing Charlie’s work whereby one is comforted through a strange familiarity of the composition and a private intimacy between yourself and the artwork.

Charlie Ingemar Harding: Wind Drawing Instrument. 2017
Matthew Asling (b.1992) is an Australian Assyrian artist working with performance, painting, sculpture and installation. Drawing on 16 years of martial arts training and contemplating the ongoing persecution of middle eastern cultures, Asling explores principles of destruction and beauty through a combative relationship with material. Using the energetic possibilities of the body, his work expresses the relationship between body, conflict and material.
