On Monday 5th August we had the benefit of listening to Mimi Leung explain her Art. The Gallery has a number of her paintings plus a wall of her Art where she invites us to experiment with graffiti. Mimi Leung is a talented drawer and her paintings are exquisitely coloured fantasy paintings of faces, figures etc in both detailed and expressionistic modes. The work ranges over a number of years and concentrates on the artists 'growing up' as a mother and a human.
There is also a video installation that includes Mimi's name in Chinese Characters.
On Monday 2 September, join us at 'First Monday' at the Gallery to hear artist Marina Strocchi to hear her speak about her experiences at Ikuntji Art Centre at Haasts Bluff and an important painting project that evolved in the mid-1990s which triggered the Pintupi women’s painting movement at Papunya Tula Artists. Marina was a consultant for the Three Echoes – Western Desert Art exhibition and a contributing writer for the exhibition catalogue and Education Resource.
