Judy Rogers – That’s Your Bloomin’ Lot – Mandurah Performing Arts Centre
January 24 @ 18:00 - 19:00
This exhibition is a survey of the last 8 years of Rogers’ botanical inspired works.
The show title is the catchphrase of the late Peter Cundall, presenter of the ABC ‘s Gardening Australia program during the 1990s and 2000s. “As new arrivals to Australia we watched the program with glee. Cundall’s infectious enthusiasm was a contributing factor to my starting to paint botanical subjects.”
The earliest works are studies of larger installations created for international exhibitions: the 2016 G20 International Exchange, China and the 2018 Asian Art Biennial, Bangladesh.
The exhibition shows paintings from two specific native flora research residencies in Dwellingup 2021 and Wireless Hill 2022. The latest series is described as one of appreciating beauty that is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete in nature. Contemporary watercolours and mixed media paintings.
Opening event from 6pm 24 January – All Welcome.
