AWASH WITH COLOUR Watercolour Group Exhibition
AWASH WITH COLOUR
Watercolour can sometimes be the forgotten or ‘feared’ medium and that is so unfair … as watercolour has a magic and mystery that no other medium can match.The translucency that comes with washes and the ‘happy accidents’ that can occur are addictive and keep us going.
We are a group that really feels more like a family and we come together on a Tuesday morning at the BDAS to chat, laugh and create under the guidance and tutorage of Kim Shannon and Wayne Davis. We don’t know how they put up with us sometimes … but it is a wonderful environment
Please come do visit the exhibition and enjoy the journey with us.
Awash with Colour is open from 6 to 11 October with the opening on Saturday 8 October at 2pm
Everyone is welcome!

“No Time To Spare, Southern Highlands”, highlights some of the at risk heritage of the Highlands. The collection of photographs of the area has been created by local Southern Highlands photographers.
The story …
In 1961 the National Trust staged an exhibition of photographs by renowned photographer Max Dupain. Entitled “No Time To Spare” it featured 34 buildings identified as worthy of preservation. Sixty years later in 2021, the Trust staged a second “No Time To Spare” exhibition of photographs by several photographers. Now in 2022, images of local properties have been created as “No Time To Spare, Southern Highlands”.

Cat Doyle – After Dark
A resident artist at the SHAC this is Cat Doyle’s second solo exhibition. Self taught (and mentored by amazing artists) her work sensitively examines the hidden emotions of our lives and reflectively explores her cultural roots back in North England.
—
I’m interested in the edges of perception, where objects transform or disappear in the inky blackness of the night. Where the mind starts to play tricks on you, and the imagination takes over. Where the line between reality and the fanciful is blurred.The objects depicted in “After Dark” are solid and real, yet they evoke a fleeting moment in time.
Recollecting silent gathering places and the detritus that remains after everyone leaves; the paintings refer back to the height of the pandemic when the streets were empty and loneliness pervaded the world.
But nothing lasts forever. Change always comes.
The dark artwork is juxtaposed with Day-Glo perspex frames that surround the silver phosphorescence within and promise hope of better days
After dark, comes the light.
OFFICIAL OPENING: SATURDAY 6TH AUGUST 4PM-6PM
GALLERY OPENING HOURS: FRIDAY – MONDAY 10AM-4PM

Road to Nowhere – Exhibition by Andrew Kelly
Wanderings through the physical world and the imagination in between lockdowns
While passionate about composition and technique, nostalgia and childhood memory are strong themes in Andrew’s work. His aim in combining these areas of interest is to create (as Jeffrey Smart might say) “beautiful pictures”, that connect with the viewer via either subject or mood. Andrew subscribes to the view that the best landscape painting occurs when one knows the subject well – Australian colour palettes and motifs feature heavily in his work. Progress means that the role of the urban landscape artist is also that of a documentarian – many of the architectural subjects that he has painted have since been demolished or remodelled beyond what his work recognises.
