UPCOMING EXHIBITION// ca Gallery is delighted to present ‘She is woven into the Mystery’, the latest solo exhibition by Kym Barrett. Through richly nuanced surfaces and an intentional obscurity, Kym Barrett’s recent paintings ask questions about the Mystery of being human. She investigates the meaning of the evolving organic feminine forms as they become woven into landscapes or claim their own personal space.

This exhibition will run 2-22 June, with an opening on the 6th June, 4-6pm

Kym Barrett has lived and worked in Chatsworth, south-east Queensland for over 45 years. She graduated from Fine Arts (painting and drawing) at the Brisbane College of Art (now QCA) in 1975 and has held 22 solo exhibitions.

Kym was the 2022 Bundaberg Art Prize winner, the 2021 Flying Arts Queensland Regional Arts Award winner and has won many other Queensland Art Awards.
She has been a finalist in more than 20 Queensland prizes and a finalist in 5 national awards since 2015. Her work is held in the Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery Landscape Collection, Greenslopes Private Hospital, Sunshine Coast Regional Council Art Collection and Moreton Bay Regional Council Art Collection as well as in numerous private collections.

Kym currently creates abstract paintings that are process driven and which, whilst exhibiting rich luminosity and depth are intentionally open-ended, describing something out of reach but also the artist’s journey to a deeper ground.

COMING UP// Michael Brennan

Before moving to the Sunshine Coast to take up his current role at Noosa Regional Gallery, a large part of Michael’s career included making paintings and other objects. Prior to this exhibition, he’s held eleven solo exhibitions across Melbourne and Sydney, had work acquired by Artbank and spent three-months in Tokyo through an Australia Council studio residency. While painting and exhibiting has been peppered amongst his curatorial work over more recent years, this exhibition marks a return to more significant solo projects.

7-28 March
