Painting and sculpture group show

This exhibition represents the art practice of four artists, art educators and friends with a long exhibition history, united by their love of the colour and form evident in all aspects of life from nature to popular culture. 

Guided by materials that she finds and the forms inherent within them, Cheryl Collier makes sculptural works that respond to both nature and the industrial environment. Informed by a lifetime of observation of colour relationships in the world around her, Katrina Collins paints artworks that celebrate colour, form, light and pattern. Heidi Jackson’s work is always a personal response to place. In her recent paintings distinctive visual codes gesture towards the Antipodes and its distance, atmosphere, and terrain. The natural world becomes organised into painterly planes of colour, over which lines and patterns drift like weather systems, suggesting an elemental vitality that pulses both across and beneath the surface of the landscape. Anita Tesoriero’s paintings celebrate the graphic, cinematography of the skilfully crafted films of the past. Her current work playfully re-presents iconic scenes from the 1960’s technicolour film, The Graduate.
