LOVE ON THE STREET & FRAGILE PLANET by KERRI ANNE HEALY 26 June – 9 July.

KERRI ANNE HEALY – LOVE ON THE STREET & FRAGILE PLANET


 
This beautiful body of work is about embracing the emotions of life’s experiences.
 
Kerri entered the National Art School in Sydney at the age of seventeen and was influenced by some great tutors under the guiding hands of Clem Millward, Martin Sharp and John Coburn, Kerri began to develop a distinctive style that would carry her through decades of creativity , passion, and challenge.
 
The art work of Kerri Anne Healy must be considered in the context of her relationship with nature and majick. She has always had an affinity with the natural forces that go beyond observation, replication and inspiration. Kerri has always been one of those unique souls for whom the separation is an illusion, the majick of life and art is a reality. What other way can one be when one has the sensitivity to interact in the deep universal processes of change as an orchestrator rather than an instrumentalist blithely following someone else’s score.

Zeitgeist Visionblur - Drew Hyde -Tap Gallery - collage image (detail)

ZEITGEIST VISIONBLUR – DREW HYDE Opening Tuesday 6th June 6pm

Zeitgeist Visionblur – Drew Hyde

ZEITGEIST VISIONBLUR by drew

Zeitgeist Visionblur is a collection of mixed media collages concerning our present way of living. Lockdowns induced by the pandemic were the catalyst for this series of work. They are a series of agitprop posters, fighting against the grave state of our despoiled planet. As each year passes we grow further and further from nature, that is to say life is out of balance. There is a collision between urban life, technology and the environment.

Our growing population is also the cause of many of our environmental issues yet the topic of population is mysteriously absent from most dialogues. In my lifetime the population has risen from 2.5 billion to 8 billion! Population, rapid urbanisation, deforestation, biodiversity loss, and climate change ETAL would all abate if we could only reduce our population growth.

The works in this exhibition are trying to address some of these issues. -Drew
