ELEMENTS FORM
24 July - 16 August, 2020
Susan Ecker in her solo show, ‘Elements Form’ is seeking iconographic descriptions of Western Australia. Concentrating on enduring elements - the land, rock formations, the river - this work explores, extracts and reconstructs those elements, stunning, visually fascinating, evoking memory, to confirm that images strongly present are, at once, real and abstract.
DISTRESSING
June, 2020
“Distressing” is the first exhibition for the South African born artist Dean De Villers, and it explores the brimming internal landscape of emotional paradox and parody. De Villers is a self-described modern-day painter who allows his art to filter through him uninhibited & expressive, exploding forth in a kaleidoscope of primary colours, shape and energy with an almost naïve child-like quality. His work is bold and captivating, harnessing the vibrant and energetic quality of his internal landscape, giving voice to his considerable talent whilst giving a jovial backhand to all that is considered conventional & normal.

Forest 14
11th May - 16th June 2019
‘Upstream’ Monique tippett
‘Forest 14’ discovers the new work of Monique Tippett in her fifth solo exhibition. This latest collection of work continues to explore her relationship with the natural environment of south west Western Australia.
The forests of this area are an inestimably valuable, thin belt of undiscovered biodiversity, part of one of only thirty-five worldwide biodiversity hotspots and our very own isolated patch of ‘planet lung’. Through her work Monique strives to portray its scale, its light, texture and beauty. She hopes to bring focus to its fragility in the face of mining and climate change. These finely crafted objects are a record of one woman’s insight and relationship with the forest.
Living at its heart for 18 years, its soul has infiltrated her own. Her connection is strong, and she says she “can only wonder at the depth of connection a whole people achieved over 60000 years.”
