Otherworldly art on show this May at Northern Rivers Community Gallery

NRCG presents four exciting new exhibitions this May including an otherworldly botanical installation, a series of textile-based meditations, award winning still life photography, and a series of relief printed portraits of distant friends made during social distancing. 

Distant Friends | Peter McLean 
Distant Friends was initiated soon after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, when online platforms became the main means of maintaining friendships and social interactions. The exhibition encompasses relief printed portraits based on social media photos of the artist’s friends as a basis to create a series of highly pixelated and innovative abstract portraits. 
 

Leaf and Flower | Robyn Barron 
Robyn’s practice as a still life photographer is informed by her horticultural and design background with the objects in her work often cultivated in her garden or collected from the Northern NSW coastline. Leaf and Flower showcases a selection of the artist’s recent photographs alongside some of her award-winning work. 

I hope this helps | Liv Enqvist 
I hope this helps is a series of textile meditations where you can stop, pause and take a deep breath. The exhibition offers a soft, embroidered space inspired by mindfulness and the art of being present. 

 
Den Inception | Immortal Soil 
‘To undergo the transformation we must surrender everything’. The inception den is a resting place, a place of recharge amongst nature’s physical embrace. This exhibition, Den Inception, creates a home within the gallery using botanical elements and soundscape to bring the outside in and give the viewer a sense of wild nature, recharge, reverence, and retreat. 

All exhibitions open Thursday 1 May and continue until Sunday 22 June. 
Gallery is opned Wed - Fri 9am - 3pm | Sat-Sun 9.30am - 1pm
