The late Robyn Daw made a mark in the Logan art world until her passing last January.
Now, her artworks come to life in an exhibition that celebrates a career spanning more than 30 years.
Ms Daw was the city’s Creative Industries Program leader from 2012, and her work will appropriately be displayed in Logan Art Gallery from this Friday until March 11.
The exhibition of prints and textiles will be titled Robyn Daw: Curious nature exhibition.
Ms Daw’s creative practice spanned many decades and was recognised last month when she was posthumously awarded a Gallery and Museum Achievement Award (GAMAA) for her lifetime achievements.
The next exhibition round will also feature Brisbane fashion designer Helen Miller’s SOOKii exhibition and artist Emma Gardener’s Fictionalish exhibition.
These exhibitions will launch the gallery’s 2023 program which features both local and interstate artists.
Ms Miller was raised in Shailer Park during the 1970s and 80s. She is the daughter of a Japanese mother and Scottish father and is now the face behind clothing label SOOKii.
Her gallery exhibition will showcase limited-edition digital prints, theatrical masks and costumes and a collection of signature ready-to-wear silk dresses from the SOOKii archive.
SOOKii is a variant of the Japanese word suki, meaning a liking or fondness for something.
In Fictionalish, artist Emma Gardener uses drawing, trace-monotype, cyanotype and stitches to create works that question the human condition.
Logan Art Gallery received its sixth consecutive GAMAA last month for the exhibition project My story: the unbroken spirit of the Kalkadoons (Kalkadunga).
Upcoming highlights of the 2023 program include:
• To the Light by Hopevale Collective.
• The Pride of Logan by Pamela See.
• Conflated toured nationally by NETS Victoria.
• Landscape paintings by Rochedale South artist Mei Mei Liu.
• Interlace by Australasian Contemporary Lacemakers.
