Debbie Parker’s new exhibition for 2009 is a tribute to true blue Aussies’ most beloved activity: a day at the beach. ‘Patrolled Beach’ will bring smiles to zinc smeared lips as we remember the fun we’ve had at the beach with friends and family indulging in the Australian beach lifestyle. Endless sunshine, zinc cream and waves lapping on the sand are interspersed with repetitive images of seagulls and sandpipers. Some of the art works feature bathing beauties, images of sunbathers, swimmers and colourful beach umbrellas, each has its own personality but together form a very strong exhibition.
We live in a city painted in light, we know it is a beautiful city so here’s the opportunity to see Brisbane through the eyes of its artists. Martin Galleries has assembled an intimate view of our city where the brushstrokes tell the tales and every corner offers a new frame. This four week show celebrates the Brisbane we love from its soft green gardens to its golden mornings bathed in an optimism that only Queenslanders will understand.
