Exhibition celebrates and honours nature

Photographer, painters, printmakers and sculptors exploring themes around the Earth and celebrating nature have come together to exhibit their work at the Eastern Hub’s Rachinger Gallery.

The From the Earth exhibition, which opens later this month, will feature works from 25 artists using a variety of media.

Local community art group Belmontaway organised the exhibition in collaboration with the Rachinger Gallery, featuring five main contributors including painter and printmaker Gale Jarmyn and photographer Gabrielle Bridges.

Ms Bridges, who was also one of the organisers, said the art group wanted to provide an array of works that surprised and engaged people.

“We are offering many different views of the natural world, using paintings, prints, ceramics, photographs and other media,” she said.

“Some of the artists are well-known in their fields, others are emerging artists, and this exhibition will offer the public a chance to see the depth and richness of the talent here in the Geelong region.

“Our group has been delighted with the quality of the artwork submitted and really enjoy all the different views of nature which we can see in this exhibition. It is fascinating how various media offer unique insights.”

The exhibition will be open to the public from Monday, August 28, with a free launch event on Friday, September 1 at Eastern Hub.

Contact Eastern Hub on (03) 5249 6100 or Belmont Away at belmontaway@gmail.com for information.
