"introducing ..."

A New Art Exhibition: NOW ON

10 am - 4 pm: Thursday to Sunday - admission FREE

Another wonderful collection of contemporary works now on display at Blue Poles.

‘introducing… ’ showcases exciting works from two new talents Wendy Friend and Robert Mitchell who join our successful stable of NSW north coast artists: Elizabeth Haddad, Nigel Gillespie, Françoise Sauvère, Scott Jackson, glass artist Karen McPhee and wood sculptor Mick Jones, who have put together a fresh and exciting show of world class new works.

These new contemporary art works are all influenced by and reflect our Australian culture and heritage and run the gamut of expressions on economic, social and environmental issues.

The diversity of styles on show encompass life drawing, abstract, landscape, as well as avant-garde existential angst. A variety of media is on display, from oil pastels through to oils. A must see for all students and lovers of art alike.

All art works are for sale.

Our New Exhibition: This vibrant, colourful, eclectic even avant garde show is a must see. All art works are for sale. In addition, limited edition framed and unframed prints as well as miniature oil paintings from Scott Jackson are available.


Wendy Friend enjoys exploring the complexities and subtleties of watercolours, and acrylics and has developed a unique style. Her simplification of form and exaggeration of curves while capturing the essence of the scene, adds appeal to images from the natural environment.

Robert Mitchell has participated in numerous exhibitions and particularly enjoys entering competitions. His latest success was the 2009 Manning Prize. His works are mainly in oil, charcoal and pastels. He believes the gift of being able to draw and paint is nothing without a lot of hard work.

Nigel Gillespie: his distinctive technique and style is becoming increasingly sought after by collectors. The commercial value of Gillespie's art is steadily increasing on the resale market (google Nigel Gillespie “Coming and Going”).

Françoise Sauvère was Born in Sénégal, Dakar. She spent her early childhood on the Indonesian island of Java and France, prior to migration to Australia at age 12. She studied colour, etching, printing and drawing at the Assenza Meleschule in Basel.

Elizabeth Haddad: following her almost sold out exhibition, Haddad's new works will no doubt entrance the public. The award winning artist’s works are widely collected throughout Australia and overseas.

Scott Jackson: his fresh and imaginative use of colour interprets the Australian landscape in a modern and seductive style. In addition to his original artworks on show, miniature original paintings plus signed limited edition framed and unframed prints are also available.
