RECENT EXHIBITIONS (Archive) “Tony Peri’s Rockin ‘n’ Rythym exhibition of contemporary photography, taken with 1920’s camera gear of the Sydney annual 1950’s recreation event, is an exciting exhibition. These are bromoil prints and work well. The best images were, for me, the ones that capture movement.” review by Wayne from the www.dimagemaker.com website ( http://www.dimagemaker.com/author/admin/ ) SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2009 Ballarat International Foto Biennale This September some of the world’s best photography comes to Ballarat and Trentham in Victoria, Australia. Tony Peri has been selected to exhibit at this magnificent event in September 2009!! His work will appear as part of the Fringe Festival showing alternative photographic works. His solo show will be held at Noah’s Inn 43 Trentham Road, Tylden, Victoria. Work will consist of Bromoils, Bromoil Transfers & Oleobroms  The Print Exposed 4 Sept. - 4 Oct. 2009 On top of the Great Dividing Range, the sleepy village of Trentham East, Victoria, Australia, pulls together artists from around the world showing some extraordinary photography in five local venues. Photographers from Albuquerque New Mexico, Buxton UK, Göteborg in Sweden, interstate and local Australians, have joined forces in an exhibition called The Print Exposed. Defying the digital tsunami, these artists embrace traditional, rare and long-lost photographic printing methods, bringing a depth and breadth of expression unique to these processes from across the 170 years of that is photography’s spectrum. This is truly a visual banquet of tactile imagery. If you had any doubt that the printing art of photography has lost its place, view this work and be reassured and inspired.

Tony is the only known practitioner in Australia of the oleobrom process. World-wide there are very few references to its use or current day practice. The work for this exhibition features another series of new photographs made using the bromoil and oleobrom processes. These are hand-made pigment prints that require many days work to transfer a silver print to an oil-pigment print using brushes, inks and special papers. The process is more archival than a fibre based silver gelatin print. Each print is a unique artwork. For this exhibition Tony Peri has a series of mainly street-style photographs, made using a range of vintage cameras and lenses from the 1920s and onwards, which capture eclectic scenes of contemporary Sydney today. In a further blending of the present with the past, these photographs are hand-printed using the historic printing techniques of the bromoil and oleobrom process. All the work by Tony was made from ‘The David Moore Darkroom’ at the Primrose Park Art & Craft Centre in Cremorne, in January 2009. Tony Peri will be fetauring another set of newly made works using the historic Bromoil process which dates back to 1907.
