Judith Kentish at Level

 Judith Kentish will be installing a new body of work - from ideas of the mute - at Level (Level 1, 11 Stratton St, Newstead, Qld) from 6 - 28 May.

Nicola Moss exhibition at Salt Contemporary Art

Nicola Moss has a new solo exhibition - Diamonds in my eyes - opening on 16 April at Salt Contemporary Art Gallery (33-35 Hesse Street, Queenscliff, Victoria. Ph:03 5258 3988) and continuing to 6 May. Through her paintings, Moss examines the importance of the natural environment and notions about what we value. With diamonds and trees both essentially being carbon, she questions, could stately trees become the bling of the future?

It is then followed by Somewhere in the City: urban narratives by Robert Brownhall, the first survey of 20 years of his work at the Museum of Brisbane on April 15.

Diana is also currently working on a series of etchings which will hopefully tie in with work being produced on a two week intensive printmaking workshop with Basil Hall, masterprinter, on the island of Skopelos, Greece in June 2011.

New Susan Buret show at loft gallery
