Great works and hidden gems can be found at the Noosa Art and Craft Association’s exhibition Still Fired Up which was officially opened last Friday by Mayor Clare Stewart.
The exhibition explores the rich art tradition of the still life genre, which originates from ancient Egyptian and Greco-Roman art,
and has inspired artists for centuries.
“Here we have combined the artistic interpretation of subjects with objects of inspiration. All pottery and ceramic works in this exhibition have been fired in our own kiln on site at Wallace House,” NACA president Gabi Dick said.
“For some artists, their practice reflects the traditions of naturalism and realism, while others have taken a more expressive approach where the work is not intended to illustrate a subject exactly, but to communicate ideas.“
Cr Stewart said it was an “absolute privilege“ to open the exhibition at the house of Noosa arts and crafts, Wallace House, which she described as a place of healing and a place peace.
She spoke of Noosa’s love for the arts and the mental health benefits creative activities can bring to the artists.
Craft and artwork is on sale at Wallace House from the exhibition which will run until 28 June.
