More than 100 artists from all over the country submitted works to the event this year, with half of these being new artists to the event.
SIG curator Kay Norton-Knight said “I’m thrilled that so many new artists have submitted works in 2017, and I’m also very excited to be attracting interest from such an experienced, internationally exhibited group of Australian sculptors like John Fitzmaurice, Mark Titmarsh and Corey Thomas.”
“We are also proud to have five-time exhibitor at Sculptures by the Sea Barbara Licha demonstrating her work throughout the weekend.”
“We are expecting the event to be very popular again this year, with both big names and emerging regional artists driving visitors to the Rosby garden,” Kay said.
“There’s also wine tasting, local produce, guided art and garden tours, an artists’ discussion panel, guide dog puppy demonstration, and kids exhibition over the weekend.”
SIG 2017 exhibiting sculptors:
John Fitzmaurice – works in a variety of materials, with stainless steel being his favoured medium. Inspired by natural forms and everyday objects, his works are transformed with abstraction and humour.
Mark Titmarsh – is a visual artist working in painting, video and writing. His current work executed under the rubric of ‘expanded painting’ is painting that dissimulates into objects, videos and texts.
Corey Thomas – trained as a dancer then migrated to sculpture with a focus on creating narratives with form. Each landscape stimulates content for his work in terms of stories about people, culture, place and form.
Barabara Licha – born in Poland and immigrated to Australia 1982. The complexity of people’s behaviour has always intrigued me, and inspired me to visually express the range of emotion we see in the human condition.
