COLOUR BAZAAR: NINE CONTEMPORARY WORKS

Heide Museum of Modern Art

http://www.heide.com.au/Exhibitions/Colour_Bazaar
Saturday 12 February 2011 to Sunday 19 June 2011
Exhibition previously on at Heide Museum of Modern Art in Victoria, Australia
This exhibition brings together nine paintings and sculptures by contemporary artists to create a colourful, eclectic and texturally diverse display. The idea of the bazaar is loosely invoked to suggest a place of richness and variety, where visual ideas are exchanged.

The works contrast with and complement each other through their formal as well as conceptual qualities and reflect a range of cultural references including: Steiner educational toys, gestural and geometric abstraction, fantastic theatrical costuming, and Post-Minimalism. Includes works by Hany Armanious, ADS Donaldson, Mikala Dwyer, Emily Floyd, Matthys Gerber, Julia Gorman, Rose Nolan, Nike Savvas and Bryan Spier.

All artists and curator Sue Cramer are available for interview.
