MICHAEL WHITEHEAD & YANNI VAN ZIJL ‘Imitation of Life’ Joint Exhibition

Next week we will be curating and hanging two new collections by Sunshine Coast artists, Michael Whitehead and Yanni Van Zijl for their upcoming joint exhibition, Imitation of Life, which will be a stunning synergy of abstract paintings and flowing ceramic sculptures.

Michael undertakes the painting process with reaction and emotion as reference points which yields its unique imagery. A portrait, a landscape, an architectural rendering, are all observations or proposals of what exists and the possibility of what could exist as either an interpretation based on visual reference, or the representation of an idea.

In Yanni’s sculptural works, form and fluidity merge into a language of movement – an unbroken dance of energy, space and time. Each piece, reminiscent of the infinite, embodies the ceaseless flow of existence: the ebb and swell of the natural world, the unseen currents of the wind, the tides, the breath, the pulse of life itself.

We are delighted to share with you an early preview of the catalogue of both these new collections. To discuss any of the stunning pieces by Michael Whitehead and Yanni Van Zijl in the exhibition, please contact us for further information or more detailed images of the artworks. Michael and Yanni’s collectors may purchase works ahead of the opening night. To avoid disappointment, do get in touch with us to reserve or purchase any of the paintings and sculptures.
