25.01.2022 Sue Lovegrove Surfacing 26 September 17 October 2020... Bett Gallery is proud to present an exhibition of new works by Sue Lovegrove Sue Lovegrove’s paintings reflect her close relationship to the natural environment, in particular the wild and remote landscapes of Tasmania. She is well known for her serene and delicate renderings of shimmering light, air, space and the way invisible phenomena of the wind and weather imprints on the landscape. Her highly detailed and exquisitely fine brushwork captures subtle shifts and movement of the wind as it weaves patterns across the surfaces of wetlands, rivers or the extreme forces of the weather in the Southern Ocean In this exhibition, Surfacing, Sue combines her knowledge of historical techniques in both European watercolour traditions and Persian miniature painting to interpret the Tasmanian landscape within a contemporary context. Sue has undertaken numerous residencies in remote locations including Tasman Island, Maatsuyker Island and as an Australian Antarctic Division Arts Fellow, she has spent time in Antarctica and Macquarie Island. Sue has exhibited extensively over 30 years across Australia and in the UK and her work is held in numerous private and public collections including the National Gallery of Australia, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Parliament House, Macquarie Bank, Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery and University of Canberra.

22.01.2022 Now Open Nicola Gower-Wallis At the bottom of the garden Bett Gallery Award Recipient 2020... 26 September 17 October 2020 Gallery open today from 10am - 4pm Bett Gallery is proud to present an exhibition of new works by Nicola Gower-Wallis "I have always had an interest in the way that we connect to the environments familiar to us. Those domestic landscapes which document our daily travels through the universe and form themselves into an illustration of the everyday. Our familiarity with these places fosters a sense of sanctity, the very boundaries to our gardens cultivated and shaped as a gateway into our own, tiny paradise. The connections we have with these landscapes are expressed through the way that we read these spaces, a curated geography mapped by memory and the wonderful mundane rituals of the domestic day. I begin every morning with a trudge down the paddock, and every afternoon finishes with the same. Trailing after wayward ducks and dogs, I have found myself recording the daily evolution of the green square surrounding me. All within the bounds of a wooden fence, the endless and frenetic story lines of the local flora and fauna play out around me. It is only in beginning to record these comings and goings that I have begun to realise that every patch of grass is holding a secret, hidden world of its own, if only you look closely enough."

19.01.2022 Posted @withregram @berminghamprize We are incredibly proud to announce that @suelovegroveartist is the winner of the 2020 Elaine Bermingham National Watercolour Prize in Landscape Painting with her work ‘The Voice of Water, (No 9.24)’ Sue Lovegrove’s practice is concerned with an intimate and personal experience of the land. She often paints remote and isolated places such as Antarctica, Macquarie Island, Maatsuyker Island and Tasman Island. These are places that are relat...ively free of human presence, where the weather and wildlife dominate, and where balance and order is still in favour of the natural world. Lovegrove’s layered mark-making explores the patterning and rhythms of the land. In this miniature painting, Lovegrove draws attention to the fragile and transient life of a small freshwater lagoon. The dead wood found at the edge of the lagoon is a beautiful sculptural form and provides an important habitat for the local flora and fauna. It is also symptomatic of an earlier lack of water in this locale, pointing to the vital need for water in supporting the rich ecological life of the wetland and beyond. Lovegrove completed her PhD at Canberra School of Art, @anuartdesign in 2002. She has held solo shows around Australia with @beavergalleries, @gallerysm and @bettgallery. Her work was included in the National Gallery of Australia’s significant touring exhibition Abstraction: celebrating Australian women abstract artists. Her work is in state and national collections including Artbank, Bundanon Trust, National Gallery of Australia and the National Gallery of Victoria. She currently lives in Tasmania. #watercolour #contemporarywatercolour #australianart #artprize #berminghamprize #elaineberminghamprize #watercolour #artprize #qcagalleries #qcagriffith #queenslandcollegeofart #griffithuniversity #australianart #artistopportunity #landscape #painting #watercolorpainting #watercolor #bneart #qcaathome #brisbane #artprizes #landscapepainting

16.01.2022 Tracey Clement chats with Brigita Ozolins about her current exhibition Oracle. Oracle continues until the 19th of September.

16.01.2022 Brigita Ozolins @brigita_ozolins_art Oracle 28 August 19 September DM to register your interest... The present is great with the future, It furthers one to cross the great water, Abundance has success like the midday sun, The truth shall make you free These are some of the declarations that feature in this new body of text-based work created during the Covid 19 crisis. Backed by an ethereal, gently rhythmic sound track, the statements appear as patterned formations of text on brightly coloured fabric banners strung across the width of the gallery. They are also embedded into birch ply panels that shimmer with mirrored lettering and, on a far wall, come to life in a video projection that pulses with intensely coloured shapes and animated words. This is Oracle, a response to the precarity and uncertainty of our current times. It offers guidance in the form of declarations from Friedrich Leibniz, George Orwell, the Bible and the I Ching, and reflects a desire to know what the future holds and where destiny will lead us.

15.01.2022 Congratulations to Nicholas Blowers who is a finalist in the 2020 Wynne Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. "There is a busy, chaotic feel to my work; a world of debris and clutter that one often finds in the Australian landscape. I often search for places that have a heightened sense of drama and find it particularly in subjects that are in an advanced stage of collapse and decay. The subject of this painting is a mine tailings pond at Savage River in Tasman...ia. These tailing ponds are a place of conflict, it is a landscape where both human interests and wildness compete. Paradoxically It is also a place of beauty at odds with the drama that is unfolding. One doesn't really have the experiences to immediately comprehend these places and they convey a strangeness that I find incredibly appealing. When I first walked there my senses were alive to a change in temperature as if a psychological threshold had been crossed. The Savage River paintings became a way of memorialising the subject and simply bearing witness to an existence. And i felt the subjects of these pictures were as much still lifes and portraits as they were landscapes.

14.01.2022 Last day tomorrow to catch Mish Meijers, Abacus Wars. Gallery open from 10am - 4pm The wild sociality of Meijers’s most recent exhibition is a complex celebration of this contemporary moment. The political theatre, or rather theatrical politics(?) explored in her previous solo exhibition Double Yoker, escalates in The Abacus Wars, as the riotous joys of flesh and blood in (sur)real space disassemble and reassemble in real time in the gallery. Meijers has long toyed with... the threshold of the screen and the stage, her command of the uncanny subverting the audience’s gaze and prompting the self-conscious realisation that we too are performers in the gallery. #bettgallery #hobartgallery #australianartist #artgallery #visualart #contemporaryart #tasmania #hobart #mishmeijers See more
