“Cosmic Odyssey” by Lesley Perk, part of the Childers Visual Art Group, was named the People’s Choice at Wondai Regional Art Gallery’s November exhibition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

November 7, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

When artists are set a challenge, the results can be outstanding.<\/p>\n

Wondai Regional Art Gallery’s two main November exhibitions are both the results of challenges.<\/p>\n

The members of the Childers Visual Arts Group were set the task of painting abstracts, something which many of the members had never attempted before.<\/p>\n

The stunning results, dubbed “Driven To Abstraction”, now fill the Main and Third Gallery at Wondai.<\/p>\n

In Gallery 1, Murgon friends Maureen Irving and Sandy Hoffman set themselves the challenge of working with the same leather patterns to produce works.<\/p>\n

The key was neither discussed their plans – or showed the other what they had created – until the works were unpacked for exhibition at Wondai.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do\u00a0 “Two Great Minds” – the title of the exhibition – think alike? The answer is obviously “no”, as the variety of the completed pieces on display clearly demonstrates.<\/p>\n

There are vases, bags, bowls, boxes and even a helmet, all imagined out of leather.<\/p>\n

In Kidz Korner, the children from the C&K Murgon Kindergarten have taken over the walls with many or their proud family members present on opening night last Friday.<\/p>\n

The exhibitions will remain on display at the Wondai Regional Art Gallery until 3:00pm on Saturday, November 30.<\/p>\n

The gallery is open seven days a week, from 10:00am to 3:00pm and entry is free.<\/p>\n

The idea of the “Two Great Minds” (who don’t think alike …) exhibition was to show how leather items made from the same pattern could turn out completely different depending on the flair of the artists crafting them<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
