Barossa Living Gallery Winter Exhibition - Homecoming

Saturday 27 June 2009 to 30 August from 4pm to 6pm

This winter Barossa Living Gallery exhibits the bright and tantalising works of three diverse artists. Introducing Sarah Rothe, Bethany born and a gifted jeweller. Drawn to titanium for its richness and range of colours, Sarah’s bold yet simple forms have an industrial aesthetic highlighted by her use of mechanical fixings and are reminiscent of brightly coloured beetles. With 40 years of local, national and international exhibiting, Rod Schubert makes a welcome return to the Gallery. Rod is the Barossa’s most recognised and respected artist. Using striking flashes of cobalt blue, red and yellow, the canvases symbolise Rod’s fascination with the Australian landscape. The Barossa Living Gallery is also home to works by Marnie Wark. Back in the Barossa over winter, Marnie has been immersing herself in the joys of friends, family and of course painting. Come and see her latest influences and works. T: 08 8563 3668, judy.toole@fuller.com.au
