If your artistic appetite has been whetted by the dazzling exhibition of Parisian post-impressionist art currently on display at the National Gallery of Australia, you might like to take a look at some of the art that’s being created a bit closer to home.
This month the Artists Shed, a working studio and gallery in east Queanbeyan, will showcase the work of local artists in an annual exhibition called Shed Nudes.
The exhibition celebrates the time-honoured tradition of representing the human form in art, a pursuit which has fascinated generations of artists and art lovers since ancient times.
Award-winning professional artist and Artists Shed proprietor Margaret Hadfield says the event is a credit to the creative flair of the local art community in and around the region.
“There will be sixty to seventy individual artworks in all styles and media – welded steel sculptures, photography, drawings and paintings – all the work of talented local artists,” Margaret says.
The exhibition opens Friday 19 February 10am and runs until 14 March.
