COLOUR: MERVYN MORIARTY, A RETROSPECTIVE EXHIBITION

Join us in applauding 45 years since the first flight of Flying Arts, through a retrospective exhibition of artworks by renowned artist, teacher and the founder of Flying Arts, Merv Moriarty. An exhibition launch and public programs will accompany this exhibition.

 

Time: Open to the public 10:00 am – 4:00 pm, Monday to Saturday
Venue: Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts, Brisbane
Cost: FREE


View artworks spanning more than five decades, including early works painted in Brisbane during the 1960s-70s. A recently completed series will also be exhibited for the first time.

Primarily working with the figure and landscape, Moriarty has remained committed to expressing his individual perception of lived experiences through his masterful understanding of colour relationships, composition and form.

This exhibition provides a rare opportunity to experience a snapshot of Moriarty’s artistic oeuvre, and charts his extraordinary career through his art practice.

Colour remains a focus for Moriarty. As he said earlier this year: 

If I have been enamoured of colour in the past, I am in awe of it now. Colour relationships speak and, I trust, reveal things about life that have yet to be written down. I feel an obligation to respond to this at a very deep level.
