07.01.2022 Kaleidoscope is a collaboration by nine Whitsunday artists to highlight aspects of the way they view life in the Whitsundays. The resulting twenty eight works reflect how each artist responded to their immediate natural environment, in some instances encompassing human influences from their surrounding environs. The works, as are the artists of Art Whitsunday, are multifaceted, reflecting the interplay of images, light and colour found in the Whitsundays. These works rang...e from realistic images painted directly from nature to more abstract concepts of colour, shape and form. In some works the lack of colour is also a statement. The exhibition incorporates an array of imagery which demonstrates the interactions between how we, as individuals, view the natural environment which surrounds us, externally and in some cases through internal processing. These views are as varied as our members, in age, ability and disciplines. A variety of media and techniques were used in the production of these artworks utilising photography, artist book making, mixed media, printmaking, painting, and fused glass to produce a range of works reflecting how we, as artists in the Whitsunday view our world. Exhibition on at Lagoons Cafe Mackay Botanical Gardens until Sunday 27th September 2020. Cafe is closed mondays.
