Saint Cloche Gallery is thrilled to present BLEMISH, the latest exhibition by Sydney-based contemporary artist Elliott Routledge. Opening this June, BLEMISH invites viewers to explore individuality through imperfection, celebrating the raw, awkward, and real aspects of human experience.

In this compelling body of work, Routledge embraces the imperfect, the irregular, and the idiosyncratic - highlighting marks, textures, and materials that defy uniformity. Through abstract paintings, tactile surfaces, and sculptural forms, BLEMISH captures the essence of being human: incomplete, textured, and ever-changing. Each piece turns physical and conceptual blemishes into sources of beauty, challenging societal standards of perfection.

Routledge, renowned for his public art installations around Australia and globally, blends expressive mark-making, abstract form, and large-scale figurative sculpture. His work, influenced by his outdoor public art practice, spans from small intimate pieces to monumental installations that engage with the surrounding architecture. In this way, BLEMISH mirrors the connection between human facades, experience, and mortality.
