Art in the Sticks – Lucindale
Art in the Sticks, a collection of artists, amateur and elite, gathering this October Long Weekend, 5-6 October, at Cluain, a beautiful grazing property 36 kilometres south of Lucindale, South Australia.
Art in the Sticks presents the third collective exhibition at Cluain, in the woolshed and old shearers’ quarters, amidst aged red gums. The theme this year is ‘Family’. Artists include painters, an artisan furniture maker, photographer, jeweller, a sculptor and an electrician moonlighting as milliner.
Artists include:
Hamish, painter, farmer and the man behind www.locostudio.com.au
He loves to express in strong colours of enamel paint that imply boldness and freedom from ties. For this exhibition he is putting together a body of work relating to quite personal experiences of daily routines, views and comforts.
Gray Hawk is one of Australia’s leading creators of contemporary furniture using fine Australian timbers and exotic materials.
His King and Queen ‘Scy’ chairs will grace the shearer’s quarters at Art in the Sticks. Gray creates expensive objects for lovers of art…Is a chair an art object? You be the judge http://hawkdesign.com.au
Mark de Nys is scared of large boring retail stores. Bespoke handmade sculpture makes him happy. He is the 2013 winner Coonawarra Vignerons Acquisitive Sculpture prize and will be exhibiting old works and new at Art in the Sticks – you will have to turn up to see. May contain traces of nuts….
Susie Clarke’s paintings employ layers of colours and subtly collaged printed matter, with environmental backgrounds and simplistic line work becoming prominent features of her work.
“I have always loved the smaller things in life, like collecting eggs, walking in the rain, watching raindrops fall onto a puddle or riding a bike.”
Michael Collett lives and exhibits in the Barossa. After an away match in the Coonawarra at the Cluain SALA exhibition in 2012, he is bravely fronting up for a rematch at Art in the Sticks. The photos, a series of walks, encounters – with the palette, textures, patterns and the abstract forms – on a beach, in the bush, a tree, and a rubbish tip. It’s not all nature…
Traci Chambers is a local artisan jeweller and resident of beautiful Beachport. Her work moves with the tides through inspirations from the beach and it’s treasures, vintage objects and ways of life and family.
For this show she has embraced the theme ‘family’ and applied it to the craft of crochet.
