In Full Colour and Take Me Back

Sydney Road Gallery presents two new exhibitions—a solo show ‘In Full Colour’ by Monique Tyacke and a group show titled ‘Take Me Back’.

‘In Full Colour’ showcases a collection of paintings that portray the human form in the natural landscape, capturing beautiful scenes in and around Sydney’s beaches. Working on canvas and wood panels, Ms Tyacke plays with light and shadow, using a unique colour palette to illustrate the emotion of the people within the landscape.

Simplifying finer details of the land, she leaves enough of a representation for the viewer to interpret the painting in an engagingly graphic way. The group show ‘Take Me Back’ explores passing moments and memories in a nostalgic reflection of the past. In this dynamic body of work, the Sydney Road Gallery artists reminisce on memories of youthful discovery and adventure through an explorative use of line, shape and colour.

“These works are an expression of where I come from. An appreciation of my childhood and respect for my heritage,” said Tracy Dickason, ceramist.

“I celebrate the abundance of nature in my works to create a sense of connection to the ancients that first picked reeds from the river, roots from the earth and wove them together,” said Catriona Pollard, sculptural fibre artist.

The exhibition will include a collection of unique paintings, sculptures and ceramics. All works on display are for sale.
