"Nature is abstract" Exhibition of Art at Buzzbar Mortdale

Calling all artlovers and outback explorers!

Our wonderful group of outback artists that like wild places are having an exhibition in a new art space in Mortdale in South Sydney, Buzzbar!

Our exhibition features works from our members who have been inspired by their journeys into wild places, and even sometimes into their own little gardens... which can be extremely wild of course.

We have hung 26 artworks at Buzzbar and are really thrilled, not only with the vastness of the space allowing people to view the work, but that the walls are coloured charcoal and olive, both of which show off the works to advantage!

If you wish to purchase an artwork, just ask the staff at Buzzbar!

Back into the wild once more!

Over recent weeks, the Wilderists have met and decided to once more get out into the wild to seek out peace, inspiration and creativity.

Our first event will be "The Painter's Picnic" to be held at Mt Banks Picnic Area on Saturday 11th July, 2020 - an all day of fun and laughter out in the bush.

Why Mt Banks? The area was decimated by the recent bushfires and still today is showing clearly the devastation of those horrendous flames. So lots of charcoal drawings, paint mixed with the charcoal from the fires and forest, line drawings, pen and ink etc to come forth from this day I expect!

Here's a couple of photos from the area!

Dramatic scenes.....

"The Call of the Wild" Exhibition at Grenfell a huge success!

The Wilderists had their very first ever combined exhibition in a public art space at Grenfell Art Gallery in September to October 2018 and it was a fabulous show!

Titled "The Call of the Wild", the show featured paintings, photographs, books, silk scarves with something for everyone. This was reflected in the fact that quite a few sales were made during the 5 week exhibition.

But not only did we exhibit at Grenfell, but we clambered around the Weddin National Park, climbed up to Ben Hall's Cave and picnicked in that wonderful wide open space.

We stayed in various hotels and BnB's much to every artists' delight as the colonial heritage of the town itself is imbued in everything around the area making it a rather special place to visit.

Thank you to Claire, the Director, Grenfell Art Gallery, their staff and their volunteers for the amazing space that you provide in your beautiful historic town. We loved every minute of our stay with you!
