As in previous bodies of work, Elaine Green’s new paintings emanate a metaphysical sensibility. Each landscape may be understood as the extension of an inner sense of being, or place where Nature and Self are fused. The imagery projects a profound quietude that encourages a state of reflection. “My interest lies in the fleeting nature […]
Official Opening Saturday 25 March 4 – 6 pm Brisbane-based Beth Kennedy’s inaugural exhibition with Anthea Polson Art ushers the viewer into a light-hearted, aesthetic realm beyond extraneous concerns. She tells the title for this body of work, A Pocket Full of Stars, evolved during the isolation and contemplative atmosphere that are prerequisite for the […]
Official Opening Saturday March 18, 3 – 5 pm Paradise lost is a small series of paintings of original Gold Coast houses, some are gone(demolished), and some still exist….maybe? These types of houses were once a common feature of the streets and suburbs along the southernQueensland coast, each are unique and evoke a past era […]
A deeply metaphysical resonance imbues Seabastion Toast’s current works. They communicate a patient seeking of the light amidst the ‘shadowlands’ of emotional and painterly challenges. There is an understanding that life’s cycles will in due course bring a return to the colours of joy. The exhibition’s title, How the Light Gets In, is derived from […]
The underlying theme in Robert Ryan’s paintings has essentially always been about a relationship to one’s surroundings and situation. In mid 2018, he made the decision to leave the now ever bustling, upmarket Byron environ and relocate to Tasmania’s relatively isolated northeast coast. Its remoteness subsequently proved a boon when pandemic circumstances mandated isolation Australia […]
The imagery in Steve Tyerman’s current body of work again expresses his multi-faceted response to the coastal regions of Southern Queensland and Northern NSW. He understands the appeal of being at a seaside locale has, for not only most ‘Aussies’, but humankind in general. “A feeling of connection and sense of release occurs when sitting […]
Describing the imagery that populates his current solo show with Anthea Polson Art, Dean Bowen imparts, “The feathered characters in my avian theatre have players who engage and interact with them. Ladybird armies seem to make regular appearances – are they friends or perhaps dinner for their feathered companions? Echidnas (another of my favorite totems) […]
Judy Oakenfull’s inaugural exhibition at Anthea Polson Art conveys a deep engagement with the natural world. She describes its coastlines and native flora as the ‘protagonists’ in her paintings. “There seems to be something within that draws us towards the ‘untamed’ coast,” Oakenfull imparts. “My work explores this yearning and aims to capture something of […]
Springtime is the season when the natural world revives and reinvigorates. It is a time of joy and new beginnings. Aptly opening in spring, Jodie Wells’ exhibition celebrates the regenerative power of nature and its contribution to a much-needed positivity in our own lives. Jodie’s works express a return to tactility; her luscious markings radiate […]
An intense chromatic energy radiates from Vicki Stavrou’s new body of work. She imparts that the exhibition’s title, Home Spun, is a play on words. Although the imagery has been ‘spun’ from considerations about a home’s exterior and interior design elements, several of her canvas and linen surfaces are now embroidered with spun tapestry thread.
