HiArts

The HiArts Exhibition and Festival again lived up to its reputation as a great place for meeting people and for the variety, quality and display of art. Though numbers were down on previous years and the wind tried desperately to cheat the enthusiasm, the weekend was a great success. Children thoroughly enjoyed themselves trying on the dress ups, working with clay, playing games, and were walking art themselves with their fabulous painted faces. Of course we cannot forget the variety of stories told, poetry read and the music that entertained most of the day. If that wasn’t all, the food was terrific, the wine, coffee and tea kept us all in a great mood of community conviviality. Though it is too early to assess, funds were raised for the Fire Appeal, the CFA and the Hall. We already look forward to 2010.

Robert Boyd

My art represents a construct of past, present and future and draws upon the complexities of experience and discovery through my abstraction of the body. I form a symbolized architectural and sculptural metaphor of life. The harmonics of each point of the simplest line is a thought and an essence of being. It is a movement in time which resonate the importance of a collective narrative. Each painting is interwoven with a thread of spirituality that links all of my artworks together.

Peter King

Metal sculptures Peter King. Peter lives with his wife Catriona on a property in the Strathbogie Ranges. He has only recently taken up working with metal and manages to produce considerable work in between farming cattle and olives and working on a near by vineyard/winery. His work has already appeared in a number of exhibition sites including HiArts

Philip Wisher

This abstract is by Philip Wisher. Philip began his artistic career in 1991 whilst living in Tokyo. He has travelled widely and lived for a time in inland Australia where he had had contact with a number of indigenous artists. Much of his work has reflected his inland experience. In particular he has produced some fascinating work on canvases stretched on twisted and gnarled eucalypt branches. He has exhibited in Melbourne, Tokyo and New York. He has taught art at the Yea Primary School and is currently Head of Art at the Yea Secondary College. Kimberley McGowan was one of his students
