Pomona Art Gallery hits the ground running with two new shows

Four local artists are taking a contemporary look at the Australian landscape in their joint exhibition A Land Down Under at Pomona Railway Station Gallery.

Using different media styles, Wendy Talbot, Helen Campbell, Vicki Armstrong and Jo Dansie put their passion for country on display.

Their contemporary approach to their art allows them to look closely at elements sometimes overlooked, capturing the essence.

A Land Down Under is in the Carriage Room from 7 January until 1 February.

Meanwhile, Cooroy artist Jennie Smith has her show Midsummer Magic in the Banana Shed until 25 January.

Jennie’s floral paintings bring a sense of vibrancy and fun. Her florals are painted using a stencil to apply the paint and then she uses a negative painting method to “find” the images.

A look of pointillism is achieved and the overall result is fresh, fun and different.

Pomona Railway Station Gallery’s talented members will be bringing in their works for a new display in the Signal Room over the weekend of 21-22 January and the ever-fantastic team of Fiona and Natalie will be hanging them for viewing on 24 Tuesday.

Expect a new show of members’ works every two months throughout the year.

Pomona Railway Station Gallery is at 10 Station Street Pomona. Opening hours are 10am-4pm Tuesday to Friday and 10am to 2pm Saturday and Sunday.
