Shipwrecks fates the focus of latest Gold Coast art exhibition
Southport, Queensland art lovers will have access to the latest Gayle Reichelt exhibition `The Last Fleet’ at the Gold Coast City Gallery.
Inspired by weathered shipwrecks the latest collection will showcase the visual artist’s expertise and talent.
Stunning detailed imagery is reflected on each of the works that focus on abandoned ships and the effect of time and weather.
Left at the mercy of the sea’s natural forces, the forsaken vessels, which were once awe-inspiring, imposing structures, present a picture that Reichelt described as a “strange beauty” despite their sad and decaying reality.
Reichelt’s interest in the theme of her latest exhibition is a product of her early career when, as part of her Bachelor of Art course, she had to review the fate of abandoned constructs that have been manufactured by humans and remained in the natural environment.
Initially, she studied animal skulls and worked her way up to abandoned farm machinery.
Marine art has developed into a strong interest for Gayle, who today is proudly part of the Australia Society of Marine Artists, which is dedicated to promoting and supporting Australian marine art.
Examples of her artwork are featured on promotional brochures and other marketing services associated with the exhibition, which will be held from February 6 to March 20 at the at The Arts Centre, Gold Coast City Gallery. Entry is free.
