Jeanne Barnes
'Kimberley Whispers'
5 – 18 June
OPENING NIGHT 5 June 5 – 7pm
The land is never completely silent. If it isn’t birds, it’s cicadas, crickets, wind — movement layered over time. These works come from listening closely to the Kimberley. Not to loud declarations, but to what is carried in rhythm, weather and change.
Through abstraction, the paintings speak to presence as much as place — to the feeling of this ancient Country as it continues to express itself.
Jeanne’s practice begins in the landscape: becoming immersed, noticing the smallest details and patterns, absorbing every sound. Those lived experiences settle within her, then emerge again as flowing, emotional works — reflections of a land that is at once powerful, intricate and profoundly beautiful.
Ros Hamdorf
19 June – 2 July
OPENING NIGHT 19 June 5 – 7pm
Driven by a lifelong interest in geology, Roslyn Hamdorf’s practice explores the bones of the Australian landscape. From her studio in Quindalup, Roslyn travels into the heart of the outback to capture the essence of ancient landforms, with a particular devotion to the raw textures and ethereal palette of the Kimberley.
Her work focuses on the intersection of age, erosion, and balance, translating the rugged permanence of rock formations into quiet, contemplative spaces.
Jules Bulleid
'Between the Horizon and the Sky'
3 – 16 July
OPENING NIGHT 3 July 5 – 7pm
Leon Pericles
17 – 30 July
OPENING NIGHT 17 July 5 – 7pm
Australian painter and master printmaker Leon Pericles has held more than 160 solo exhibitions and won national and international acclaim over a career spanning more than 50 years.
The artist who spent his formative years in Meekatharra has been largely inspired by his love for the Australian outback and his imaginary town of Widji (Widjimorohup).Pericles’s witty views of Australia combined with his artistic talent have resulted in work which engages and challenges the viewer. Sometimes narrative, often whimsical and frequently absurd, his ruminations on society and our unique landscape have also made us more aware of the ideas that shape us as West Australians.
