SUMMARY:Nature's Forms
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n “Nature’s Forms”\n\n\n\nIssa Ouattara and Melisa Savickas\n\n\n\n19 March to 26 April\n\n \n\nThis exhibition showcases two very different bodies of work which both highlight aspects of natural forms. There are differences in scale – from larger than life sculptures to microscopic detail; differences in media – sculpture and photography; differences in subject matter – from botanical and feather forms to figures. However\, both artists convey wonders of the natural world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIssa Ouattara\n\n\n\nIssa’s contemporary sculpture draws on his West African cultural and artistic heritage as well as his life experience to create large flowing  figurative sculptures and functional sculpt-artworks . \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn my contemporary sculptural expression I draw on my West African and artistic heritage and many life experiences to create unique sculptures and functional sculpt-artworks designed to evoke strong and positive feelings. The integration of the old/ancient and new/now is subconscious but clearly present. I love transforming the masculine media of mild steel to the feminine with flowing forms and soft dynamic curves embodied with feminine wisdom and power. …. Issa \n\n\n\nYou can find out more about Issa and more about his previous exhibition in the Bolin Bolin Gallery. \n\n\n\n. \n\n\n\n\, \n\n\n\nMelisa Savickas\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMelisa’s artworks are all centred around nature’s forms\, and mostly around Australian Native plants\, which she finds fascinating and beautiful. She examines the detail of the often unnoticed plant seed pods and blooms and uses her imagination to reinvent their appearance in her photography studio and again\, on her computer. Digital image creation allows a whole new conversation about the colours and forms to evolve.  \n\n\n\nMelisa’s interest in close up explorations of botanical and avian feather forms continues to inspire conversation about the environment and the beauty of native plant life. Some of her studies are transformed into acrylic and watercolour paintings\, which also enhance the forms that Mother Nature has provided\, with graphic style and bold strokes.  The artist is a professional photographer by trade\, and has learnt a myriad of techniques over several decades\, but has always found the natural world of great interest. She is now examining photo stacking and ultra-macro photography with still life\, with feathers\, insect wings and plant details her next area of focus \n\n\n\n\n1.

SUMMARY:Collaborations
DESCRIPTION:Collaborations– \n\n\n\nAn Exhibition of Clay\, Metal and Painting by \n\n\n\nAnnette Nobes\, Mel Rayski-Mati \, Sandi Nicolaides \, Bruce McKay \n\n\n\n5th  February to 14th  March\, 2021 \n\n\n\nArtist Demonstrations – 1-3pm 20 and 27 February and 6 March 11 – 3pm \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n ‘Collaborations’ is an exhibition demonstrating the outcome of collaboration between four artists – two ceramicists\, a metal worker and an oil painter.  On display\, you will find a selection of each artist’s  individual work alongside a range of collaborative pieces\, such as designer porcelain plates containing Decal transfers of oil paintings and metal sculptures sporting ceramic elements.   \n\n\n\nDemonstrations: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is an opportunity to meet the artists and see how they make their work. \n\n\n\n\nAnnette Nobes on the pottery wheel – Saturday 20th and Saturday 27th February 1 to 3pm.\n Bruce Mackay on the pottery wheel and Mel Rayski-Mati with metal wire sculpture – Saturday 6th March 11am to 3pm\n\n\n\n\nThe Artists \n\n\n\nAnnette is a potter who produces a variety of work with specialisation in crystalline pottery. Crystalline pottery can be described as where art and alchemy meet. Crystalline glazes are specialty glazes that show distinct crystals in the fired glaze\, often of vibrant colors. Each piece is unique. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMel specialises in garden sculptures\, custom-made mirrors and 3D wall art . They’re made from hundreds or thousands of individual pieces that create large scale images and beautiful patterns. In 2018\, Mel was awarded the People’s Choice Award for Sculpture\, at the Melbourne Flower & Garden Show.  \n\n\n\n\nMetal flowers by Mel\, in front of one of Sandi’s paintings\n\n\n\n\nSandra worked in Theatre for several years before moving on to obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree in sculpture. The 6 years ago she turned to oli painting. He unique intuitive style involves throwing paint on a canvas with a pallet knife then teasing out the figures she always finds in ther. All he paintings are about people interacting with each other and the audience.. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBruce’s love of ceramics began back in the 1980’s when he had the opportunity to study at Warrandyte’s well-known “Potter’s Cottage”. It was here that he first discovered the Japanese form of firing ceramic pieces known as Raku and this was to become his lifelong passion. This firing method\, in conjunction with a fascination for pottery from ancient civilisations\, has influenced Bruce to create pieces that are both wonderfully tactile and unique.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\ncrystalline vase by Annette\n\n\n\n\n\nCollaboration – flowers – metal by Mel\, hand built ceramic by Annette\n\n\n\n\n\nCollaborative fountain – pot by Bruce\, metalwork by Mel\, also metal wall pieces by Mel and paintings by Annette.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSculpture by Mel\, flowers by Mel and Annette\, paintings by Sandra\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:New sculpture by Nicola Hoyle \n30 October to 29th November 2020  \nAn exhibition exploring shape and form\, predominantly using steel. \n  \nThis will be the first exhibition in the Bolin Bolin Gallery after lockdown. \n \n“By nature I am  a hoarder. As a result my  art is heavily influenced by recycled materials and found objects\, particularly scrap metal. I feel great pleasure at the prospect of turning outcasts into things of beauty. \nI am entirely self taught as an artist and enjoy the ongoing journey of discovery and exploration that my works brings. Prior to motherhood\, I was as a mechanical engineer in the automotive industry. I never felt fulfilled in this environment\, but perhaps my choice of vocation was the attraction to shiny materials and their assembly processes.” \nNicola is one of our regular artists\, both exhibiting often and adding to the the atmosphere at Bulleen Art & Garden. We have commissioned Nicola to design and make the sculptural elements which give character to both our Sculpture Garden (http://gallery.baag.com.au/?p=3479) and the Bolin Bolin Gallery itself. \nFind out more about Nicola. You can see  her exhibitions in 2013\, in 2017\, in 2018  http://gallery.baag.com.au/?p=3818 at http://gallery.baag.com.au/?p=3818 http://gallery.baag.com.au/?p=1012 http://gallery.baag.com.au/?p=3353 \nScroll down to the end of post for exhibition catalogue with prices \nMore Images of the exhibition below- \n    \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n“Solidity”\n \n \n\n\n \n \nNew sculpture by Nicola Hoyle\n \n \n\n\n \n \n30 October to 29th November 2020\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \nNH1\nKeyway\n $        850\n \n\n\n \nNH2\, 3\nIn Bloom\n $        380\n \n\n\n \nNH4\nQuick Dip\n $        190\n \n\n\n \nNH5\nWildflowers\n $        320\n \n\n\n \nNH6\nEverlasting\n $        270\n \n\n\n \nNH7\nUnity\n $        490\n \n\n\n \nNH8\nNurture\n $        490\n \n\n\n \nNH9\nFamily\n $        670\n \n\n\n \nNH10\nWarrior\n $        680\n \n\n\n \nNH11\nBauhaus\n $        320\n \n\n\n \nNH12\nOutcrop\n $        920\n \n\n\n \nNH13\nCounterbalance\n $        730\n \n\n\n \nNH14\nHarvest Moon\n $        460\n \n\n\n \nNH15\nOutlook\n $        520\n \n\n\n \nNH16\, 17\, 18\nSplash Down\n $        450\neach\n\n\n \nNH19\nSacred Stone\n $        650\n \n\n\n \nNH20\nSpike Grass\n $        210\n \n\n\n \nNH21\nEverlasting\n $        360\n \n\n\n \nNH22\nSprung\n $        380\n \n\n\n \nNH23\nSwim\n $        410\n \n\n\n \nNH24\nRelic\n $        610\n \n\n\n \nNH25\nTotem\n $        640\n \n\n\n \nNH26\nContinuity\n $     1\,200\n \n\n\n \nNH27\nQuestionnaire\n $        820\n \n\n\n \nNH28\nPendulum\n $        470\n \n\n\n \nNH29-34\nBroken Hearted\n $          80\neach\n\n\n \nNH35\nPosie\n \n \n\n\n \nNH40\nEarthly\n \n \n\n\n \n \nMetal/Timber test Tubes\n $          85\neach\n\n\n \n \nWooden Test Tubes (3)\n $          20\neach\n\n\n \n \nWooden Test Tubes (1)\n $          15\neach\n\n\n \n \nWooden Test Tubes (1)\n $          10\neach
