In keeping with the Changing Nature theme, artists were asked to
explore the profound changes being imposed on natural places by climate
change. Over 60 artists from around Australia have contributed high
quality artworks to Art for Action using various media and materials,
including photography, painting, sculpture and recycled materials.
Greenpeace events coordinator Rob Nicoll said, “We wanted to engage with Australia’s art community to help deliver the urgent message about the threat of climate change in a creative way. It’s a great way to convey a very important environmental message.
“We are very grateful to the artists for donating such high quality artworks, the sale of which will help fund Greenpeace’s vital campaigns work,” he said.
Contributing artists include Anne-France Fulgence, Mary Shackman, Mark Schaller, Carlos Barrios, Guy Troughton, Constantine Nicholas, Patrick Shirvington, Sandro Nocentini, Alison Coulthurst and James Powditch.
Mark Schaller was a founding member of the renowned Roar studios and is known for his painting, sculpture and print-making. Career highlights include successful solo exhibitions in Australia and overseas, as well as acquisition of his paintings and prints by major institutions such as the National Gallery.
Mary Shackman is a well known painter and textile designer whose impressive career has spanned four decades. She has worked with fashion designers such as Akira Isogawa, Nicola Finetti and Robert Burton and her paintings have shown in numerous exhibitions.
The exhibition runs from 13 November until 30 November. Artworks from Changing Nature will be sold at auction on Wednesday, 22 November 2006 at 7pm at The Gallery at Darling Park, hosted by ABC radio personality and author Sarah MacDonald. Works will be auctioned by Tim Goodman of Bonhams & Goodman auctioneers.
