Visitors can look forward to being (human) by painter/sculptor
Grace da Costa, bloom by visual artist Paula van Coller and syntax
with mixed media works from Gunter Obojkovits.
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.
