One of Australia's leading artists,
Madeleine Winch, famous as a finalist in the
Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes and for her much-loved picture books, is showing a major exhibition, ‘States
of Being’, which comprises paintings and prints which depict the archetypal
woman in domestic settings attempting to balance life as a mother and
professional.
Running
concurrently are two other outstanding exhibitions by local Taree based artists Claire Skehan and Hil Van Dijk: Embracing the Angelic Realm and Rebecca Rath: Are we there yet?
Claire and Hil have combined their
skills to co-create a wonderful exhibition of printmaking, paper cut-outs and
mixed media constructions that express their ideas about the angelic realm that
is within your consciousness.
Claire states: “It may seem
presumptuous to say, that this work is devoid of ego. It has been a journey of
discovery, of accepting and acknowledging a higher aspect beyond our individual
consciousness. To view this work, is to meditate. Listen to your thoughts and
responses and accept what you hear, as your guidance.
Focusing on the area of the
Hunter Valley, Pokolbin based artist Rebecca Rath takes us on the scenic route
through many of the local towns within the valley. Having painted over 150
small documentary style oil paintings, Rath’s large installation will take you
back to your childhood…. when a road trip meant the long route with many stops
until your destination. Do you take the scenic route when you go on a road
trip? Or do you take the highway? These are questions which interest landscape
artist Rebecca Rath...
