Bulleen Art & Garden is situated on the banks of the Yarra, just across the road from Heide

and adjoining  bushland which has already nurtured both the Heidelberg School and the Angry Penguins.

We are surrounded by plants as we work, so it seemed a good idea to combine art and botany

and hold an exhibition based on botanic forms.

 

Spring is a time of new growth of plants, a time when we can celebrate plants, and a time when 

we can draw inspiration from the abundant flora all around us, and to also invite other artists to

 interpret botanical forms in new ways and from all sorts of angles and in a variety of media.

 

Guiseppe Raneri is a ceramic artist, but also likes to experiment in other media; Jodie Nunn is

a painter and sculptor, but has chosen to interpret the plant world via ceramic surfaces; Meredith Plain

is a ceramic sculptor, generally working on animal forms, but will have large clay floral forms. Other

artists will be submitting paintings with splashes of colour (Elizabeth Vercoe, Veronica Holland),

 vibrant ceramics (Anne-Marie Gentile) , elegant ceramics (Lene Kuhl Jakobsen), steel sculptures

(Yvonne George, Justin Purser), sculptures made with found objects - and humour (Rachelle Dale).

This should be a varied exhibition. We are interested in your where you can go from the starting point

of the botanical form.

 

 Come and see what sort of garden - or jungle we create.
