Exhibition a ‘Broad Spectrum’ into arts
A BAND of highly varied and talented local individuals from the Tablelands, Cassowary Coast and Cairns will host a new art exhibition at Tablelands Regional Gallery.
“Broad Spectrum” is an exciting curation of many talents and many forms of media, collated with the specific objective of bringing a new awareness and appreciation of art to the Atherton Tablelands.
“It is a much awaited for opportunity to introduce the Tablelands to the processes used to create these works, offer an insight into its making, and gain a further understanding and, of course, a chance to own a piece of the collection,” artist Rose Knight said.
“This assembly of artists are all highly talented in their field – some are teachers of their craft and will be offering workshops, and others are rising stars and prize winners who will be demonstrating their craft.”
Amongst the exhibits are examples of watercolour; tradition and contemporary, dry media (pencil, charcoal and pastel work) oil painting, woodblock printing, oil and cold wax, acrylic, weaving, ceramics, lead lighting
and sculpture.
“It is hoped that by providing an insight into these well-respected artists and their crafts, and the opportunity to learn further, that we can encourage a new generation of artists and artisans which will not only bring attention to the Tablelands as a growing arts hub destination but to nurture our young emerging artists to achieve their creative dreams and goals,” Rose said.
The artists participating are Yvonne Hering (woodblock printing); Jo Bingham (watercolour and pencilwork); Claire Randall (watercolour contemporary); Rose Knight (oil painting); Sahan Kulathunge (watercolour and urban sketching); Dorte Colja (mixed media oil and cold wax); Monique Burkhead (ceramics); Pete Marshall (coloured pencil, graphite, charcoal and pastel); Angela Fielding (sculpture, leadlight and timber); and Sally Maroney (mixed media, sculpture and textiles)
The exhibition is now on at Tableland Regional Gallery in Atherton until 9 August, with the official opening being held at 10.30am on 21 June.
