Gallery exhibitions and public programs
Nathan Miller
Life devotion and death in Tbilisi
22 April to 9 May
The cultural traditions, daily life and the rituals of the Orthodox Christian faith in Georgia are documented in this exhibition through a series of photographs by local artist Nathan Miller. “I travelled to Tbilisi, Georgia with the intention to photograph the daily life and religious observance during the Orthodox Easter. This included the rituals of the ‘Holy Fire’ from Jerusalem, and the gathering and feasting with the dead as part of the Easter rituals.”
Artist’s floor talk, Friday 30 April, 1pm
Join Nathan Miller for a discussion about the themes explored in his photographic practice.
Free admission.
Donald Kenner
Colour and Light
22 April to 9 May
These works are generated from the artist’s solid grounding in drawing as a foundation and his appreciation of the rural landscape and colour. Primarily the artist works directly from location and to hone his touch and colour selection, does rapid pencil and watercolour sketches from country trains, where the motif gives way to process. His recent figurative works have received favourable recognition and exposure.
Artist’s floor talk, Friday 7 May, 1pm
Join Donald Kenner for a talk about the themes investigated in his paintings.
Free admission.
