Friday 28th: 6pm
Sat 29th & Sunday 30th: 10-4pm
Sat 5th & Sunday 6th: 10-4pm

Bevan Griggs

Inspired by natural beauty, particularly in the Australian landscape and the people who inhabit it, Bevan Griggs especially enjoys including a ‘human element’ in his landscapes that says, “This is a place where people love to be”. “My work invites you to relax and imagine you’re there!”

Bevan’s carefully executed realist paintings leave no doubt as to the image and yet persuade the viewer to enter into the place. As well as an artist, Bevan was previously a Minister of Religion and his love of the spiritual within the created world encourages people to find beauty often in mundane things.

Will Smithwick

Will creates sculptures based on the idea of turning copper wire (both plain and insulated) into bonsai, hence the term “electro-bonsai”.
Electro-bonsai - Re-cycled cupric art

Will Smithwick lives in North Perth and works from his studio at the rear of his residence. His work uses bonsai forms to explore the impact of technology on the social fabric of our world.

Using copper wire, natural materials, found and re-cycled objects, Electro-bonsai deconstructs the traditional bonsai forms in an effort to examine the contradictions inherent in contemporary life. The works attempt to create a sense of volume while still ensuring feelings of transparency and lightness. He believes the pieces change depending on the light and they can be relaxing in the same way that natural bonsais energize space in the home. He uses mainly found or re-cycled material as he does not wish to add to the proliferation of waste in the world.
