EXHIBITION
Not Just Collage
Wednesday 03 February – Saturday 20 February 2016 | Gallery 139
OFFICIAL OPENING: Saturday 6 February, 2-4pm
A gallery curated exhibition exploring the art form created by the simple act of cutting and glueing things together and onto a surface to make an artwork. It first became recognised as a form of artistic expression during the Synthetic Cubism period. Think Picasso and Braque. Collage became an important tool for the Dadaists and throughout Surrealism and eventually found a forefather in the art of Kurt Schwitters. This exhibition celebrates the wonderfully liberating use of mixed media used by the exhibiting artists to make their work.
Exhibiting artists: The Strutt Sisters, Caelli Jo Brooker, Kate Burton, Barb Nanshe, Maggie Hall, Jane Collins and Giselle Penn.
GALLERY 139 is located at 139A Beaumont St Hamilton NSW 2303
