Thursday May 23 be there with Paula to celebrate at Le Vivant from 6PM.Paula Hart has been working in WA as a visual artist of recognised excellence and boundless creative energy in public and community art forever it seems.
Mostly the art she makes is big. Really big.
Paula’s work has all been out in the public realm and there has been little opportunity for friends or collectors to purchase a work for their home since almost last century!
This project is different. To create these designs Paula has looked towards her big, public artworks, borrowing motifs of our extraordinary Western Australian native flora used in those and reinventing the imagery into these delightful, intimate wall works. The Mulla Mulla, Sturt Desert Pea, Bottlebrush, Banksia and Grevillea….Framed archive quality, giclee prints ranging from A2 – A0 will be exhibited at Le Vivant, to launch her online shop going live.
Some background from the woman herself, "I was wearing my colourful Day of the Dead print frocks long before hipsters hijacked the Dia de Muertos sugarskull imagery. To honour this tradition I have created my take on the Calaveras sugarskull, with a Western Australian wildflower twist, combining Wattyl, Banksia, Mulla Mulla, Kangaroo Paw, Bottle Brush and Grevillea into the celebrated decorative skull"
Bites menu and drinks available, no bookings required. NB. Paula will be laying on some classy snacks.
