Contemporary art forms to be showcased in Rockingham
Fans of art forms relating to paper cutting and ceramics in the area of Rockingham will most likely want to attend the free exhibition showcasing both of these mediums, starting in March and running through to April. Artists will often advertise up-and-coming exhibitions by taking advantage of local flyer printing services around the area where they are performing.
The Beyond Surface Exhibition involves two artists, Valerie Schonjahn (ceramicist) and Miguel Castro (paper cutter). Their work is complementary as the repetition involved in both creates subtleties and nuance.
Schonjahn lives in Walyalup, Fremantle, and with an architectural background and an interest in the garden, creates porcelain vessels, also utilising found materials. Schonjahn is particularly fond of exhibiting her work outside in nature, which is always the starting point in creating her art form.
Castro grew up in Lipa and left to study in Manila. When the performing arts piqued his interest, he joined the Gantimpala Theater Foundation and went on to become a classical singer. In between tours, Castro helps to run the family paper-products business, which is where he began experimenting with paper-cutting. He uses a scalpel and most often uses a sheet of hand-cut paper. He has exhibited in many places, such as in the Tap Gallery in Sydney.
The Beyond Surface Exhibition takes place from March 10 until April 2 at the Rockingham Arts Centre, 11 Kent Street, Rockingham. Entry is free and the exhibition is open from 10am until 4pm, Wednesday to Sunday.
