"The real journey of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having fresh vision." (Marcel Proust)
This exhibition showcases the meeting of two very different mediums in the art world. On one hand Cliff’s oil paintings capture the beauty and fragility of nature while Sylvia’s visually spectacular work utilises manipulated natural elements frozen in time within prisms of glass. The explosive need to express a concept and vision in the medium of their choosing is a marvel of both artists. The creative journey for both Cliff and Sylvia has developed over several years. This exhibition is part of that evolving narrative.

As the title , “From Within”, implies, the works are aspects of the continuing struggle to express a multitude of facets of our daily lives; the good, the bad, the joyful, the sad….
Our exhibition of paintings and ceramic sculptures are the culmination of this couples work in the last two years.
It reflects not just these moments lived of the last two years, but also the memories of decades past.

Joy of the Journey
The BRAG Trade The BRAG Trade is a collective of early career artists with common links through volunteering at the Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) featuring 5 artists - Kevin Aldcroft, Gabrielle McDonald, Paul Perry, Patricia Sheppard and Raymond Singleton. This exhibition is the largest body of work the artists have presented in one place... examining the Joy of the Journey:
The exhibition will explore the artists’ diverse relationships with forms, themes and techniques. Many of the works are visually inspired pieces with unconventional painting techniques, dimensional drawings and multi-patterned pieces. This exhibition sees the individual journeys of the artists momentarily converge and hopefully, creates a destination that evokes joy, raises possibilities and challenges others. |

Hear my Voice
First Nations Artists
Foyer
|
With ambassador and exhibiting artist Jandamarra Cadd alongside Paul Calcott this exhibition is about showcasing our established and emerging First Nation artists residing here on Gubbi Gubbi, Kabi Kabi Country. To give these artists a place and platform to share their work. While offering an opportunity to show their artworks to a greater audience and gaining more exposure.. Also giving them a visual voice to share their creative expression.. Whether it be derived from their traditional stories or individual based pieces or something they feel passionate about, this exhibition will hopefully instill confidence and validation for what they do .. And having it coincide with NAIDOC week will be even more special as this time and the theme for this year is very pertinent to this exhibition.
|
The National NAIDOC Committee invites all Australians to walk with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in a movement of the nation for a better future, this year at BFAC we would like to honour our traditional custodians of the land on which we gather by holding this exhibition during NAIDOC.
“It’s time for our knowledge to be heard through our voice. – an Indigenous voice of this country that is over 65,000 plus years old.”

Shaped by Nature
Alan Pirie & Fiona Cuthbert O'Meara
Creamery
An interplay between polarity and perspective, microcosm and macrocosm, nature versus nurture which creates the pull for us to reach our highest potential.
'Shaped by Nature' is a dual exhibition of oil paintings by Alan Pirie (Lyn McRae finalist) & ceramic works by Fiona Cuthbert O'Meara (Taste of Art, Noosa's 3D prize winner).
Embracing the relationship between what it is to be "skilled" at one's craft and what it is that the materials we work with show the urgency to become.
These forms that emerge from our hands or paintbrush are the expressions and stories of our own relationship to the earth and ultimately ourselves.

Evocation

This connection between different cultural representations of the sacred are captured in my work through a fusion of skills ranging from embroidery, painting, printmaking and bookmaking among others
Inspired by the goddess, the universal woman, ancient symbols of life, light and power – the magic of which continues to resonate in the modern world.

Twisted Tales

Dale Leach
Reciting Nursery Rhymes to our children is one of the most rewarding first steps to developing children’s language skills and extending their vocabulary. Nursery Rhymes are usually short and easy to remember and in times when many people were unable to read and write Nursery Rhymes were passed from one generation to the next and their secret histories were forgotten. Twisted Tales unearths some of these secret histories and brings other Rhymes into the naughties.
