Exhibition of exciting new works by much-loved artist Leon Pericles
West Australian artist and cultural icon Leon Pericles has created new painting, mixed-media and etching works for an upcoming solo exhibition at Linton & Kay Galleries in Subiaco. Taming a Tumultuous Palette is a rich collection of the 73-year-old’s fresh new work, exploring translucency, layers and colours, the power and subtlety of transparent and opaque, and the tumultuous palette in between. The exhibition runs from 27 May to 19 June.
Final chance to visit renowned botanical artist Patricia Negus
If you’ve ever consulted a local guide book on walking along the Capes coast or appreciated the south west’s wildflowers, chances are you’ve seen the botanical art of Patricia Negus. The much-loved Margaret River artist will open her studio, Swallow’s Welcome, for the last time at this month’s Margaret River Region Open Studios, and for just four days. Patricia will be selling off 100 original watercolours and paintings that featured in the comprehensive book: Wildflowers of South West Australia by Jane Scott. There have been three editions of this beautiful publication and this will be a one-off opportunity to own an original artwork from the popular book.
