Amanda Penrose Hart’s work After Dinner, Gria’s House features in the Bathurst Regional Art Gallery group exhibition, ‘Wonderful Wonderful: Scenes from the Collection’.
Roaming cultural, social and political history, the exhibition comprises a suite of monumental ‘collage’ scenes, where disparate artworks are juxtaposed to form conversational tableaux. What might seem random and unrelated, becomes coherent, incisive and intriguing. Variously, each scene offers whispers to your thoughts, a laugh in your belly, and the occasional slap in the face.
Dates: 21 September – 17 November 2024
Location: Bathurst Regional Art Gallery, Bathurst, NSW
