STILL

by Life Drawing Gladstone

20 February to 12 March 2018

A glimpse of the diverse styles and mediums of the Life Drawing Gladstone group, a mix of experienced and emerging artists who come together once a week to draw a life model. This collection has a mixture of work sketched during classes that are unedited and raw, as well as other more resolved pieces.

The exhibition from 20 February to 12 March 2018 aims to give an insight into how the energy and seeming movement of a one-minute pose is captured, through to more controlled and calm poses lasting up to thirty minutes. Featuring work by local artists Kat Adamson, Jenny Fournier, Rika Griffiths, Kristel Kelly, Christine Krebs, Andreia Pereira, Janie Petersen, Natisha Strudwick, Michael Tait and Luke Wrathall.

PANDEMONIUM

by Andreia

22 JUNE – 13 JULY

A solo exhibition by Andreia Pereira that presents a hidden place of deformities, misfits, and scars, empowering what lays in a life’s backstage and embracing the disturbing. As part of the “Curated at Crow” – an exhibition program and regional partnership between Crow Street Creative, Photopia Studio and emerging curator, Felicia Lloyd, this project is proudly supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), a Queensland Government and Gladstone Regional Council partnership to support arts and culture in regional Queensland.

DON’T TELL MUM

DON'T TELL MUM

Tyson Evans, Dan Carmichael, Molly Strickland and Rachael Lonie from Black Dagger Tattoo

May 11 – June 8 2018

A group exhibition featuring the work of tattoo artists – Tyson Evans, Dan Carmichael, Molly Strickland and Rachael Lonie from Black Dagger Tattoo. Official opening party on Fri 18 May.

The appeal of the work included in this exhibition are the use of traditional techniques combined with contemporary subject matter. Contradicting the preconception of what a tattoo artist does, what to expect is sometimes the unexpected.

With works created on skateboards, canvas and paper, the artists showcase their individual technical expertise in watercolour, acrylic, pencil, oil paint and digital art that draw on popular culture. Practice, time and dedication are the tools they draw on the most, as they continue to learn through observation of their colleagues, other artists and the natural world around them.

Part of “Curated at Crow” an exhibition program and regional partnership between Crow Street Creative, Photopia Studio and emerging curator, Felicia Lloyd. Proudly supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), the program brings exhibitions, up late artist talks, professional development and networking opportunities for local artists and workshops to the Gladstone region.

BALANCE: Luke Wrathall & Kristel Kelly

BALANCE

Luke Wrathall & Kristel Kelly

19 April – 2 May 2018

Kristel Kelly’s art spans the use of pencils, pens, acrylics and oil bars. From soft, delicate, nature-based pieces, dynamic black and white studies in pen and blended oil bar paintings, these works explore memories and experiences of the artist. After leaving school at age 15 she attended TAFE and regular art classes and workshops to access new skills and professional development. “My life was fraught with difficulty after leaving home so early” – Kristel draws on personal safe places in cult classics in film and literature as inspiration for these current artworks.

Luke Wrathall presents a body of work developed over the past 6 months with the intention of portraying his connection to the Gladstone Region. Abstract works utilise local materials, wood, stone and aluminium, recovered and reclaimed from our urban and industrial environment, as the Artist considers the industrial side of Gladstone, his place in it, as well as the connection to the community that it sustains. Seeking to balance perceptions of industry and environment , the artist’s technical explorations using local materials – sand stone recovered from construction, natural earth and processed wood, aluminium etched with caustic acid, all are transformed into a representation of environment meets industry.

Svalbard: The Land of Dreams

Elena Korotkaia21

March – 14 April 2018

An exhibition from 21 March – 14 April 2018 of photographic prints taken by Gladstone artist Elena Korotkaia on Svalbard, an island in the Arctic, less than 1400 kilometres away from the North Pole. Exactly one year on, the artist is showing these stunning documentary photographs for the very first time. From vast, uninhabited, icy terrain and abandoned coal mining settlements to the surreal polar light glowing over the sparkling snow and gorgeous glaciers, this desolate but beautiful place is the land of dreams in every sense.

Elena Korotkaia is supported with funding from Regional Arts Fund, an Australian Government program that is designed to benefit regional and remote arts practitioners, arts workers, audiences and communities.

I AM U: an exhibition by Catherine Gomersall

I AM U

by Catherine

January and February 2018

is a layered social media project that investigates selfie culture and how we use social media to express ourselves, form friendships and interact with each other in a playful way. The exhibition at Photopia Studios in January and February 2018 presents an archive of the work to date. The artist produced the “yourselfies” by performing a ” spiritual Facebook reading”: looking at what the various individuals have posted on social media about themselves, and using that information to produce the images in her studio.

This is the first of many for the “Curated at Crow” an exhibition program and regional partnership between Crow Street Creative, Photopia Studio and emerging curator, Felicia Lloyd. Proudly supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), the program brings exhibitions, up late artist talks, professional development and networking opportunities for local artists and workshops to the Gladstone region.
