United by the Land and Water
Artists, Rachel
Carroll, Mark Rhodes and Lisa Woolfe are united by the land. In three
concurrent solo exhibitions at Depot II Gallery, Danks Street Waterloo each
painter presents a unique view of the Australian landscape.
Rachel Carroll
furthers her visual exploration of the Murray Darling. Rachel’s collection of
paintings, drawings and prints not only highlight the beauty of the Murray, but
also the struggle of it’s survival. During this journey Rachel went in search
of the Murray Rise- the origins of the Murray. This results are breath taking
as the first 30km of the Murray River unveiled its lasting beauty, its water
and its wild life in Mt Kosioscko National Park.
Mark Rhodes’s
atmospheric paintings of the ocean pay homage to the great forces that both
create and destroy our Northern Beaches landscape.
Lisa Woolfe immerses herself in specific bush
locations and presents a unique topographical record of the landscape, the
seasonal evolution and its inhabitants.
These three artists explore the green belt around our
city walls and through their eyes we gain a new fresh insight into our natural
world.
