Exhibiting artists are Clara Adolphs, Nicole Foreshew and in Snapshot, Karen Egan. The evening brough families and friends of the three artist, along with numerous local and wider regional art lovers together for a social evening and first viewing of the installed bodies of work.
Clara Adolphs, based in Bundanoon, is a figurative painter who uses found photographs as source material for her work. In 2017, Adolphs was the recipient of the Eva Bruerer Travelling Art Scholarship through the Art Gallery of NSW and spent time in Paris on residency. 'Remembering Words' is a body of work created during her time on residency and in her studio in Bundanoon and sees the artist evolve her compositions and technique towards a new mastery with paint.
Nicole Foreshew is a member of the Wiradjuri nation, Central West NSW and works across an ambitious array of materials and processes. 'Minyambul yiri yimbang (because it is a sacred thing)' is a new body of work, formed from a recent residency in Morocco and presents sculpture and photographs. This exhibition maintains Foreshew's profound connection to her Country and intense explorations of meaning and materials. New sculptural forms are the result of complex processes that speak to both ceremonial and everyday uses of earth materials that Foreshew has become known for.
Karen Egan, based in Goulburn, is an established artist with a practice spanning textiles and photography. For some years, Egan has been observing and documenting the appearance of heavy vehicles carrying metal waste into and out of town. Not knowing the finer details of where, how and why these trays were appearing, Egan instead found the forms of these discarded, enigmatic objects fascinating and from them has created a new body of work, 'Metal Landscape'.
For those who would like to find out more about these artists you can join them for a lunch time artist’s conversation at the gallery.
