Fireworks Gallery

Fireworks Gallery Established in 1993, FireWorks Gallery is known for hosting some of Australia’s best contemporary artwork.

FireWorks Gallery, known for hosting some of Australia’s best contemporary artwork, is nestled in the arts hub on Doggett Street, Newstead. Michael Eather, the director of fireworksgallery, said ‘the location is an exciting addition to the Doggett Street art precinct that provides both a creative space to host exhibitions and convenient parking for clients. The fit-out of the warehouse gallery spa

ce combined with contemporary artwork is visually engaging.’

fireworksgallery is known for sourcing works from across Australia to build unique collections featuring contemporary works from established and emerging artists, Indigenous and non-Indigenous. It emerged as a commercial gallery space in Brisbane in 1993, following the networks of Campfire Group consultancies and collaborative projects that began in 1987. A desire to present artworks by Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists alongside each other has been a constant theme underpinning the gallery’s exhibition program and associated projects. Remarkably, the premise of cultural collision—originally cloaked in political and educational contexts of artists’ shared influences—still seems as relevant today as it did twenty years ago. fireworksgallery projects include co-coordinating public and private commissions, collaborative projects, artist-in-residency programs (NEWflames Inc), a publishing schedule, and limited-edition print folios from the Estates of Lin Onus and Vincent Serico.

Last Saturday, FireWorks hosted an intimate luncheon and artist talk celebrating the esteemed career of David Paulson as a portrait artist.

A sincere thank you to David, Claire Sourgnes (Director, Ipswich Art Gallery) and all who attended for an insightful conversation (with a healthy dose of humour) reflecting on portraiture, artistic practice, debauchery, and decades of creative friendship and collaboration. It was a wonderful afternoon of storytelling, shared memories, and thoughtful discussion surrounded by David’s remarkable works.

Thank you to Mick Richards for the wonderful photos

Samantha Hobson: Wuntalpa Time

The artist describes how Wuntalpa occurs when the south-easterlies come during the Wet Season, depositing brown foam on the beaches.

"When we know there's Wuntalpa around, we know we go fishing for different types of fish. We call it Aayu (butterfish) and it has poison barbs."
