The latest art show at Grist Cafe Bakery in Wesley Hill was officially opened on Tuesday.
The exhibition by the ‘Grist Cafe Art Group’ has been created by a group of friends who originally met through Dhelkaya Community Health’s ‘Get Connected’ program.
During weekly get-togethers at Grist, against a backdrop of other art shows throughout the year, the idea formed that the group would like to have their own art exhibition.
The works to be displayed are the product of people who have practiced art over a long period of time through to those who have been more recent converts.
The eclectic range of works include colourful oils and watercolours, charcoal sketches through to photography, and feature a diverse subject matter from landscapes to portraits.
Some works are for sale, but others have deep personal value and will be retained by the artist.
One such special piece is a group collaboration ‘The Warrior’ which has transformed a base created by technicians at Peter Mac, to be utilised by one of their members during radiotherapy treatment, into an incredible work of art.
Each member of the group contributing a magnificent ‘feather’ to be added to the work as a tribute to their friend and to all those challenge by cancer.
The show will run until June 26.
