Landscape has been a preoccupation of artists since the early days of colonisation. In LAND, artists explore both European and Indigenous ways of seeing and representing the landscape.
Roll through the planes and hills of the rural landscapes, suburban vistas, micro and macro outlooks through a variety of innovative styles and mediums.
VISITOR COMMENTS
Enjoyed the different mediums and messages contained therein the pieces. Especially loved the Kopi Mourning hats. Quite moving.

Dear Johnny Empeigne, I loved all the artwork but yours really captured my attention. I think your ideas were very creative. I enjoyed just staring at your art.

I can’t believe you’ve got an ironing board stuck with sparklers! It’s like when the child in ‘the emperor’s new clothes’ cried out ‘He’s Naked’. It’s not art, its junk! Very funny. Thanks
Wonderful, original & refreshing perspectives. Thank you.

Very interesting & visually stimulating. Thank You. The contrasting diversity of how we view our environment is fascinating. Laura Davies’ works are exquisite. Probably the best exhibition I have seen here in the gallery.
