Through a regional lens, we cast our gaze upon the Earth, 
illuminating a diverse, collective response to the
natural world in wood, paint
and poetic form.


Curator: Gavin Vitullo

We welcome Newcastle Artists participating in the second instalment of our 2018 Arts Connex Project, featuring NSW Regional Artists.

MOTHER is the second exhibition of our Arts Connex Project funded by Inner West Council.
 
The Project is a series of exhibitions that provide support and professional opportunities for regional artists, and to position the Inner West as the gateway for contemporary art in Sydney. The program sponsors artists and/or curators to exhibit regional artists in Sydney along with Artist and Curator fees.
 
MOTHER presents Newcastle Artists working out of The Creator Incubator located in Hamilton Newcastle.

Artists

Graham Wilson

Graham is a printmaker, stonemason, painter, graphic designer and joint founder of The Creative Incubator in Hamilton North, Newcastle. His love of nature is seen through the range of media that he works in – pictured here is his large scale wood carving, ‘Awabakal’.

Lyndal Campbell

The subject matter of Lyndal’s richly coloured, multi-layered works are drawn from memory, imagination and her immediate environment. Having previously worked in both naïvety and abstraction, she has more recently fused these distinct parts of her practice

Hugh Grant

“My works explore concepts shaped by the aesthetic consideration of trees and the landscape…Primarily my work focuses on using bonsai design as the forefront of practice, taking the practice and melding it into a new aesthetic from the cultural point of view as an Australian.”

Bridie Watt

Bridie’s paintings are teeming with joy and energy. Birds and other fauna often swoop into the scenes she creates, playing their part in the story told by her busy, colourful compositions.

MOTHER opens in two days! This Thursday 6 September, 6-8pm.

Gavin Vitullo

Gavin is the curator of MOTHER and one of the five exhibiting artists. With a multi-disciplinary practice, he works with a variety of materials including wood, stone, steel, plant material and paint.
