Midsummer magic in the land down under

Works by Helen Campbell will be at Pomona gallery.

The Pomona Railway Station Gallery is showing two new exhibitions throughout January.

In the Carriage Room, four local artists are taking a contemporary look at the Australian landscape in their joint exhibition “A Land Down Under”.

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, in the Banana Shed, Cooroy artist Jennie Smith has her show “Midsummer Magic”.

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.

“Midsummer Magic” is on show until 25 January.

Both exhibitions will share a formal opening at 11.30am on Saturday 7 January.

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.
