‘Whitsunday Plantae’ by Art Whitsunday
Whitsunday Plantae is a collaboration by Art Whitsunday Incorporated artists, highlighting their viewpoints on the part which plant life plays in their lives.
Depicting the imaginary or unique vision of the solitary artist, each artist interprets their Whitsunday botanical genre of their immediate natural environment, portraying native and introduced species.
Inspired by microforms to giants of the tropical Whitsunday plant habitats, the artists also visually feature aesthetic shapes, forms, colours and textures of their interwoven plantae panoramas, representing coastal terrain and islands, to beneath the Coral Sea.
Artworks will include prints, photographs, paintings,
works on paper, ceramics and artist books.
This exhibition is on display in the Lagoons Gallery within the Botanic Gardens Café from Wednesday, May 31 to Sunday, June 25. The café and gallery is open Wednesday to Friday, 9am to 2pm and Weekends, 8am to 3pm (closed Mondays and Tuesdays and public holidays).
