Peta Treble, Mythra Schwartz, and Arthur Dimitriou

29 May - 20 June 2025

Opening Celebration Thursday 29 May, 5-7pm

Visual Echoes is a two-part exhibition and creative development project exploring the nature of impressions, iterations, and the subtle reverberations of everyday life. Beginning with a multi-media exhibition at George Paton Gallery and culminating in a second iteration at 138 Gallery in Brunswick, November 2025, where each artist will revisit and materially transform their initial contributions.

In this first exhibition held at George Paton, ‘Visual Echoes’ brings together four emerging artists: Arthur Dimitriou, Mythra Schwartz, Lucy Eidelson, and Peta Treble, whose practices span sculpture, painting, performance, and moving image. Each artist responds to the idea of the “visual echo”: how impressions linger, repeat, or shift through memory, material, and form. The exhibition explores the space between the actual and the virtual - between physical presence and ephemeral experience - highlighting the everyday traces that return as reflections, shadows, doubles, and distortions.

Artist Bios:

Arthur Dimitriou is a sculpture artist living and working in Naarm (Melbourne). He graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from VCA in 2019 and recently completed his Honours in Fine Art in 2024 from the VCA. Recent exhibitions include Group Show, Mary Cherry Contemporary Art, 2024; Solo Show Titled State of Matter, Stockroom Kyneton, 2024; Solo Show Titled Salvation at Yarra Sculpture Gallery, 2023; Group Show titled Of Stuff, at Egg and Dart Contemporary Art Gallery, 2022; Group Show Titled dusty moth-bitten holes, Presented by Alpha60 for Craft Victoria, Craft Contemporary Festival, 2023; Co Curated Group Show Zombie Caves, 2022.

Mythra Schwartz is a Naarm/Melbourne-based artist. She studied a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting) at RMIT in 2022 and Fine Art Honours at VCA in 2024. Born in Canada, she moved between Mexico, New Zealand, Australia, and finally Bali, Indonesia, where her family still lives. Mythra’s work explores the ephemeral nature of perception and experience, capturing the tension between desire and possession, dwelling in the act of reaching for what remains just out of grasp. Her paintings use motifs of shadows, reflections, and blurred forms to evoke a transient, in-between space where memory, desire, and time intertwine, inviting slow engagement and contemplation. In 2025, Mythra has been part of group shows at Arc One Gallery, WestEnd space and TCB.

Lucy Eidelson is a dancer, writer and performer living and creating on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country. Lucy’s work often carries a sense of strangeness, where the body is rendered dreamlike and malleable to metamorphic changes. In 2023, Lucy created, directed , co-choreographed and performed in Air Hunger, a full-length dance-theatre work that premiered at Melbourne Fringe and received a four-star review from The Age. Other credits include ‘Intertwined’- Be Right Back’s first runway event at Miscellania, ‘Object Merchant Ball’ curated by Bella Brown at The Meat Market, 2024,  ‘Atmos’ curated by Steph Judd at the Norla Dome, 2024, devising and performing in ‘Axolotl’s’ a roving work for Tesselate-Topia at Abbotsford Convent, 2024. Lucy’s poetry has most recently appeared in the summer edition of Meanjin Quarterly 2024.

Having graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) at Victorian College of the Arts in 2024, Peta Treble is a Melbourne/Naarm based artist working with concepts relating to perception, experiences of self and states of transition. They utilise a mixture of their own body, readymade and distorted household objects as well as moving image processes to produce sculptures and installations that play with illusion and representation. Some of their recent exhibitions include their solo show ‘INT.’ at Green Floor Gallery, 2024; ‘Portière’ a group show at TCB Gallery, 2024 and installing an immersive installation work for ‘Tesselate-Topia’ at Abbotsford Convent 2024.
