Australian Icons - An homage to places, ideas, memories & feelings that epitomise
our artists' personal Australian icons
October 30th to November 30th, 2010
Inspired by a recent Bill Bryson Book – Icons of England, the group exhibition ''Australian Icons' 'by gallery artists at Marks & Gardner Gallery has challenged them to think about their own personal Australian Icons. Not the recognised images portrayed in the public domain - Kangaroos, Ayers Rock or the Opera House, but the things that epitomise to them 'Australia''.
For Victorian ceramicist Marylou Hogarth it is the Australian vernacular – the slang, the colloquialisms that have inspired her works. The beautiful patterns and textures created by sand crabs on freshly cleaned beaches has been the inspiration for a body of silver jewellery by Lisa Gaze. Whether it is the unique lifestyle, special foods, the flora or the fauna – artists have each responded in their own unique way.
