Gallery director Trent Read notes that Da Costa is equally adept in both her art forms, and that her paintings are layered and complex. “She is concerned with the human body in all its manifestations and her sculpture runs the spectrum of both size and mood, from the witty and gentle to more contemplative pieces.”
Visual artist Paula van Coller will bring her signature works infused with plant motifs to life with bloom. “Art became the medium through which I processed my observations of happiness and grief. All these issues found reflection in my work – with plants, flowers and bulbs symbolising the necessity to adapt, change, conform and flourish,” says van Coller.
Austrian artist Gunter Obojkovits will present a myriad of mixed media works with syntax. “The Syntax show reflects a panoptic view, an aggregation; the gathering of things together. Composed of many distinct parts and finding the syntax in between,” says the artist.
