Gaffer Studio Glass
Until May 20
In its first exhibition of fine arts, Gaffer Studio Glass broadens its purview with Australian Contemporary, which opened last week at the Rotunda in Exchange Square and continues at its gallery in Aberdeen until May 20.
Gaffer director Julie Lambe delved into her Australian roots and relied on her own artistic instincts to curate an exhibition that includes paintings, mixed-media and sculptures by artists who are based in Australia.
'My taste in art is quite diverse. I collect both Australian configurative and abstract works. For this show, I chose artists and their works that I personally like. My objective with Australian Contemporary is to show that Australian art is high quality and diverse.'
Thirty works by eight artists from various ethnic backgrounds are included in the show. All immigrants or children of immigrants, they reflect their cultural heritage and personal histories in their art.
