STILL WATERS Fine Art Exhibition ON DISPLAY AT MANNUM 2nd - 25th August 2013 ADMISSION FREE If you love life on the River and unique art, visit the Arnold Gallery at the Mannum Dock Museum for the ‘Still Waters Fine Art Exhibition’ as part of the State’s SALA Festival – A Celebration of the Visual Arts, salafestival. The South Australian Living Artists Festival is an annual event providing the opportunity for communities and artists across the State to exhibit their themed artworks from 2nd to 25th August 2013. Nine local artists will showcase their diverse works featuring paintings and sculptures with inspirations from reflecting life on the water. Art Convenor, Roger Baker said, “What is motivating me for this SALA exhibition is to promote art in Mannum, the community will be amazed at the artwork on display and entry to the venue is FREE throughout the festival”. “I would like to thank the Mannum Dock Museum and Mid Murray Council for their ongoing support.” Exhibits will include a variety of materials including junk art, metal, wood and knitted copper wire and will feature a presentation of contemporary and traditional art. • Jill Allen Is an impressionist and abstract artist using acrylics on various surfaces and enjoys many successful exhibitions of her works since the 1970’s. • Roger Baker Has recently returned to his roots of graphic arts and plate making as inspiration to his amazing lino cut prints. Roger also enjoys sculpting and using pastels. • Jane Bowring Has a background in contemporary jewellery and is known for her sculptural forms made of hand knitted copper and is inspired by the natural world. • Ashley Knott Is a self-taught artist and loves to experiment with a variety of mediums and textures and a great day for Ashley is when her art evokes emotions from its viewers • Sandie Kuehne Recently moving from her comfort zone of familiar, safe, traditional media to explore and experiment with alternative techniques and direction has been exhilarating for Sandie with rewarding results. • Caroline Lever-Flint Caroline recently discovered encaustics (3000 year old art of painting with wax) and found the vibrant colours of the wax plus the fluid, abstract form of its application perfectly interprets her photography. • Steve Oatway What a wild ride it’s been for Steve from teaching junk art in Central Australia to exhibiting in New York City! • Barrie Walker Self taught artist and has experimented with many mediums and his oils and pencil / ink drawings depict a great degree of detail and authenticity. • Joel Zimmerman Focuses on reclaimed materials and is inspired by giving “useless” items new life and meaning and experimenting with new materials and techniques. The Arnold Gallery at the Mannum Dock Museum will be open during the SALA Festival (2nd – 25th August), Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday and Sunday 10.00 am to 4pm.
