“Trouble In Arcadia” by Joanne Turner

February 20, 2014

Maleny artist Joanne Turner will be showing and discussing her paintings at the Other Space gallery, next to the Hotel Radnor in Blackbutt, between 6:00pm and 8:00pm on Friday, February 28.

Her latest paintings are based on the landscapes of childhood that exist in a slightly “other” realm.

“They are a mixture of reality, imagination and heightened emotion,” Jo said.

“The fox-masked figure in ‘Trouble In Arcadia’ strides boldly through two worlds – the landscape of childhood behind, and Arcadia before him. He is a fringe dweller, clever and adaptable, thriving on the edges of the mythical and mundane.”

The opening night will give people a chance to see the paintings up close and to talk to the artist in person.

“Our opening nights have been very popular,” Other Space curator Sue Beyer said,

“We have a different contemporary artist each month, and I try to include artists whose work is conceptual in nature.”

Refreshments will be provided and everybody is welcome.
