Dancing with Colour: Jamie-Lee Garner & Frances Edwina Powell
February 7 @ 6:00 pm - March 16 @ 4:00 pm
A joint exhibition between local artist and potter Jamie-Lee Garner and Brisbane-based artist Frances Edwina Powell. Each embraces bold colour in their artistic practices, imbuing their works with movement and dynamism. Garner creates her pottery vessels then ‘upholsters’ them with vintage textile offcuts while Powell mimics acts of daily pantomime with her collages reminiscent of Matisse.
Jamie-Lee Garner is an interdisciplinary artist that lives and works from her studio in the Northern Tablelands, on Ngarabal country in NSW, Australia. She received her BA in Architecture from the University of Sydney in 2018. By working across various mediums, including ceramics, recycled textiles and oil painting, Garner creates work about the discovery of self in a way that aims to be accessible and most importantly delightful.
Frances Edwina Powell is an emerging artist and arts facilitator based in Meanjin (Brisbane). She received a Bachelor of Fine Art (Studio) and Business (Marketing) from the Queensland College of Art in 2021. Powell often references figure drawing, abstract shapes and colour associations within her work, crafting collages and illustrative oil paintings that explore form and concept, along with ideas of the body, relationships, performance and home, primarily working on paper. Frances Powell is represented by Side Gallery, Brisbane.
Opening Night: Friday 7 February, 6-8pm (opening remarks 6pm)
