Very excited and proud to have been mentioned in the Spectrum, Saturday 25 February, in the Sydney Morning Herald, with my solo show "Simply Complex" at Art Gallery on Darling in Balmain.

Ingrid van der Aa

Opening drinks

WEDNESDAY 22 February, 5 – 8 PM

Art on Darling - 315 Darling Street - Balmain

Open Thurs & Fri 10-6pm, Sat & Sun 9-5pm

Simply Complex is an exhibition with works by artist Ingrid van der Aa, after winning the exhibition prize at Harbour Sculpture Prize in Woolwich. Art Gallery on Darling in Balmain is gratefully acknowledged for this support.

Simply Complex explores how something as simple as white plastic can be transformed into something as complex as the art works on show here. In a world where sustainability and beauty point ever more to all things natural, Simply Complex investigates plastics as organic, aesthetic and sustainable. The lifespan of a plastic pipe for example can last for 100 years underground without leakages. Plastic can be recycled 5 – 10 times. There is no other material that offers that kind of sustainability. Ingrid is passionate in exploring different materials, unlocking their beauty and deciphering their meaning. Here she simply transforms man made hard Perspex polymer into natural, organic soft shapes, fluid and sculptural, on and off the wall. Pure and white.

UOS extends a warm invitation to join us for

the official launch party of the Bond Business Centre

The evening will include live guitar playing and singing by Grace Brown,

a selection of wine and beer, and cocktail nibbles by Avenue on Chifley.
