Coming to the Sunshine Library this month is the Wild Awakenings art exhibition.
Join Contemporary Melbourne artist Ana Hanson for the opening the exhibition and experience an unique celebration of contemporary Australian landscape art that fuses bold colours, stylised patterns and unconventional media.
Hanson is particularly proud of the way her pieces connect viewers with the natural environment.
“In this body of work I hope to further expand upon some of the themes and ideas I have recently been exploring in my focus on mixed media landscape artworks. My art infuses an urban artistic sensibility with an appreciation for the natural environment and a love for one of the oldest and most enduring artistic traditions – landscape art,” she said.
“My work reflects the duality of our modern existence—a world where screens often dominate our attention, while nature is too often relegated to the periphery.
“Within this tension lies a collective yearning to rediscover our connection to the wild.
Wild Awakenings’ beckons viewers to reconcile this dichotomy, to embark on a journey of ‘rewilding,’ and to take a few moments to cherish the splendour and diversity of the world we live in.”
Opening night of the exhibition will include a multimedia installation and a chat from Hanson, as well as refreshments to enjoy.
It kicks off on Thursday, June 27, from 6pm to 8pm, inside the learning centre at the Sunshine Library.
The exhibition will stay on display until July 26.
