Georgia O'Keefe - flowers and bones

Georgia O'Keefe is very inspiring in the way she finds the patterns within nature. Flowers and bones were some of her favourite subjects. These are some examples of her wonderful works.

What's happening in Brisbane this week end?

Art Salon had a little look around and found some interesting art events coming up:

At the "Circle Gallery" in Montague Rd West End (above the Art Shed) there is an exhibition opening from 6pm to 9pm. Sherron Dalziel presents "Tangents".

Artscape 2009

Hi all - hope the new year is treating you well.

Invites for expressions of interest for Artscape 2009 have already been posted to the existing list of artists. The exhibition will be held over the weekend of the 16th and 17th of May.

Any artists interested in exhibiting that have not received an invite should e-mail me at artsalon1@hotmail.com

"Spirit Matters" opening 6/12

“Spirit Matters” art exhibition From December 6 to January 10

EXHIBITION AT POSITIVE ART SPACE
UNDERNEATH POSITIVE LIFE STORE at 481 Old Cleveland Rd. Camp Hill.

I am very excited to be exhibiting my latest photographic works in

"Spirit Matters"

The exhibition opens at 4pm on Saturday the 6th of December and continues until the 10th of January.
Gallery hours are 10am to 4pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

The exhibition involves 5 local artists: Madonna Huddy, Aprille McHenry, Andi Mutch, Kirsten Bailey and Michelle Bowden

My latest works look at our periphal vision, the outer margins, where the camera often captures things we cannot see. Is this because of our vision or education? Are we blinded by the shiny and the new and consequently missing out on seeing the depths of the world around us?

The photos all started life at Cedar Creek near Samford, a place I find inspiring and am drawn back to time and again.

Hope to see you there,
Michelle Bowden

Art Factory Gallery Exhibition - "Through my eyes"

A long view of the gallery. Our exhibition has been extented to 17/8, so still time to drop in if you haven't already.

Entertainment for opening night

We are privileged to have Richard Goldsworthy as our live music on opening night this Friday 8/08/08 at the Art Factory Gallery from 6pm.

Richard Goldsworthy - MUSIC FOR SOLO PIANO

Pianist and composer Richard Goldsworthy was born in Cairns, in the tropical north of Australia and spent his early childhood in the tiny rainforest village of Kuranda. Much of Richard's music is inspired by the unique beauty of Australia's natural landscape.

Richard recently spent several months traveling and performing in Japan, where much of the music for his latest CD "Silk" was composed - the fourth in his series of "Soundscapes for Solo Piano".

As the perfect accompaniment to some of life's special moments - such as a candlelit dinner, a quiet time spent alone, or a rainy day with a good book, Richard's tranquil and melodic piano is finding its way into the hearts of many lovers of fine music.

"Richard Goldsworthy has taken the sounds of the sea, the rhythms of the rainforest and the music of the monsoons - putting them together for an album which epitomizes the land he calls home."

Roz Pulley, The Cairns Post

---

"Those with an ear for this style of playing will be impressed... Richard Goldsworthy has clearly succeeded in his aim to capture the raw beauty of the solo piano."

Tony Hillier, Music Editor, Barfly Magazine
