The Adelaide Hills Landscape Arts Prize is a biennial now acquisitive contemporary art prize, established in 2017 by the Hahndorf Academy. This arts prize celebrates the Adelaide Hills region and South Australian artists with a Finalist Exhibition at Hahndorf Academy.

South Australian artists are invited to present work that engages with and interprets the Adelaide Hills and the diversity of the landscape. We invited artists to interpret their experience of the Adelaide Hills in ways that highlights and captures their awareness of its dynamic and diverse environment and landscape – natural, rural or urban – and its ever-changing seasons.

Sonya Unwin – Windswept Acrylics on canvas, 2021

The aged Apple Orchard at Lenswood extracts something deep within. A quiet consciousness envelops on arrival, thought becomes poetic and colour becomes a technical tool. Atop the Lenswood hill, overwhelming beauty is significant. I launched into creating paintings en plein air in February 2021, immersing myself in the entire detail.
By July I had passed my apprenticeship and August found me hitting my stride. Gradually the detail diffused and significant heroines emerged in the landscape; wind energy, solar power, air, rain and the soil on which I created my paintings. I have based my painting upon these protagonists.

Henry Wolff – When the earth crumbles and the sky collapses above me (from the project CARE)

Archival inkjet print, 2021 - $1100

The ongoing project ‘CARE’ navigates subjective experiences of care, compassion, and love to share with viewers tender gestural expressions of human connection. Fostering virtue and an ethical consideration of the individual’s responsibility and embeddedness in society, ‘CARE’ asks people to consider their own relationships and context to one another and place. Here we witness an act of cross-generational intimacy – as a mother is embraced by her young children. This act takes place within the backyard of their Adelaide Hills home. Domestic yet wild, this is their first family home. Grounded by natural space, the figures gesture suggests structural form. It’s as if they might be building a house from their own bodies, alluding to processes involved with creating a home. This work articulates a different perspective on landscape, a more intimate one that considers our impact and connection to place.

Elizabeth Yanyi Close, Thomas Readett, Shane Mankitya Kooka

Tarnanthi 2021

October 9 - November 28, 2021

For Cook, Close and Readett the act of making art is compulsory for themselves but also their culture. The art they create is an extension of a 60,000 year old painting practice that has been constantly evolving and reshaping over time.

In this project the artists will transform the interior of the Hahndorf Academy, cladding the walls in a dynamic spread of large scale collaborative murals blending Shanes illustrative and fluid street art styled mark making with Elizabeth’s bold and graphic designs linking with and throughout Thomas’ abstracted realism. Cook, Close and Readett will use this opportunity to extend the paintings ‘outside of the frame’ by painting directly onto the walls to challenge and create curiosity within their audiences.

Artist Bios

Shane Mankitya Kooka is a Guwa and Wulli Wulli man with family connections to Cherbourg, Queensland. Born on Kaurna Country, he is recognised nationally and internationally as an aerosol artist, combining graffiti-like styles with traditional mark making, and a tattoo artist. He found his connection to his Aboriginality by drawing with his Mother as he recovered from third degree burns. Shane went on to establish himself as a graffiti artist. He was given the name 3rd because of his burns, and gifted the name “Mankitya” by the local Kaurna community which translates to “the scarred one’’.

Elizabeth Yanyi Close is an Anangu woman from the Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara language groups in Central Australia, and an established Contemporary Aboriginal Visual Artist based in Adelaide. She has spent the past 14 years crafting a dynamic multi-disciplinary visual arts practice that speaks to both her own, personal Connection to Country, and the concept of connection to place and space more broadly. She works in the mediums of 2D visual arts, large scale muralist installations and digital media.

Thomas Readett is a Ngarrindjeri man and established artist born and raised on Kaurna Country. Thomas’ graphic aesthetic of realism painting is powerfully rendered in black and white, with careful attention to detail. He melds street art style with classical training (BVA) to produce work that is both technical and conceptual. Recently Readett has pushed his practice into 3D sculptural space, playing with the pictorial plane and interrupting our usual modes of artistic interpretation. Thomas graduated his Associates Degree and Bachelor of Visual Arts in 2015 from Adelaide Central School of Art mastering in Oil painting.

Across Generations: Kaltjiti Arts

60 Years of art making

Tarnanthi 2021

October 9 - November 28, 2021

Group exhibition curated by Arts Centre Manager Gilli Steel. This year Kaltjiti Arts celebrates 60 years of a continually run art centre in the remote, isolated community of Kaltjiti/Fregon.

Across the Generations is about storytelling and creating the connections between the families with paintings by artists and the family ties that still exist in the Art Centre with artists continuing their practice today.  The stories have been passed on through the generations and this exhibition celebrates works by Artists: Taylor Cooper, Witjiti George, Matjangka (Nyukana) Norris, Angela Kani George, Beverley Cameron, Celina Tunkin, Delma Forbes, Fiona Pompey, Gladys Roberts, Imitjala Curley, Kathy Maringka, Meredith Treacle, Pollyanne Smith, Joanne Roberts, Joyce Robin, Manyitjanu Lennon, Jeannie Robin, Jamaica Robin, Anne Marie Smith, Kathy Dodd, Rachel Stevens, Rene Kulitja, Loretta Peters, Noreen Bronson, Rita Rolley, Tinpulya Mervin.  And artists of yesteryear, Tali Tali Pompey, Robin Kankakapatja, , Antjala Robin.

HISTORY

Many of the Kaltjiti Artists were first trained in the 1950’s and ‘60’s in Ernabella Arts.

In 1961 several of those craft workers left Ernabella and moved, some 140km west to Amata, and others went to Fregon (Kaltjiti) 60kms south on Officer Creek.

Fregon was established by the Presbyterian Board of Missions as an outstation of Ernabella.  The intent was to develop a viable cattle station on the Shirley Well block, a section of the Reserve over which the mission had grazing rights.

Fregon attracted Anangu of independent spirit – men and women who wanted to be actively involved in the management of their own community and cattle station.

Initially the mission sisters at Fregon assisted the craftwork, receiving raw materials and dispatching finished articles to Ernabella.  Older women spun wool and the mothers with babies hooked wool cushions, painted hessian wall hangings and cards.  In 1963 sewing of Kangaroo skin moccasins decorated with hand-painted designs was introduced.

In 1973 the Ernabella and Fregon communities were separately incorporated.  The art centres however remained together and were registered as Ernabella and Fregon Arts Incorporated in 1973. 

Although the two art centres continued to work closely together they were financially separated in 1975.

In those days it was known as Aparawatatja Arts and Crafts, a community enterprise.  This name later changed to Kaltjiti Arts and Crafts when the community changed its name to Kaltjiti Community Inc. in 1986.

It took many years of gradual development for the art centre at Fregon to progress from being a small community enterprise to an independent Aboriginal incorporation registered as Kaltjiti Arts and Crafts Inc. in 1997.

Today, the Art Centre is the thriving heart of this small community.  On Average, between 15-25 artists paint at the Art Centre each day.  A place of storytelling, laughter, creation.  It is where anyone visits community comes to seek out someone they are looking for!

Alison Mitchell : Still – Water

SALA exhibition August 1 - 31, 2021

Meet and greet the artist August 1 at 2pm

Exhibition launch August 14 at 3pm

with guest opening speaker Emma Fey, Chief Executive Officer - Guildhouse

This, my second exhibition at the Hahndorf Academy, follows on from a long and dusty summer and the trepidations of Covid.  It was in fact a surprise to find the garden producing such lush abundance.  Which is, like everything living, mostly water.  So my attention turned to this and the vessels that contain, restrain, divide and dispense. This, and the anomaly of the dry landscape around me, the creeks that have silted and the rivers run dry.

BIO

Alison Mitchell is a visual artist based near Riverton in the Mid North of South Australia.  She paints in watercolour and oils, responding to the seasonal changes of her garden, working directly from life and informed by her studies in anthropology and Asian art history.

Her work focuses on a still life tradition of domestic objects intentionally arranged and composed in the studio.  It is a timeless tradition, deeply embedded in the practice of carefully observed painting from life – of plants nurtured and objects treasured. As a practice it demands attentiveness to the agency of art making, to the fall of light, the shift of shadow, of elation, uncertainty, and, particularly, to the weft and warp of what is known and what is seen.

Fran Callen ‘Just Add Water’

SALA exhibition August 1- September 30, 2021

Exhibition launch August 14 at 3pm

with guest opening speaker Emma Fey, Chief Executive Officer - Guildhouse

‘Just Add Water’ is a response to my Country Arts residency to Grindell's Hut in Adnyamathanha Country 2019. Observations of the effects of four years without rain. Of the jewels of living things that manage to survive still. Of learning from local Adnyamathanha Elders and Rangers about the flora and fauna, and from a scientist from Deakin University about the incredible adaptability of Idthi, the Zebra Finch, who sing to their eggs a different song in hot arid conditions so the chicks develop differently and better adapt to drought. Learning from my dad about the geology of the area and the fascinating connections between drawing and geology. And the generous gift of ochre from Yalmarralpana Ochre Pit from Uncle Cliff Coulthard. Ochre that's now been smeared, scraped, splattered and crushed across every artwork I made, almost all of which is created on recycled surfaces including food packaging from our time there. The spectacular powerful timeless beauty of it all. Waiting for rain. Hoping it doesn’t come too late.

Fran Callen Artist Bio

Fran’s current drawing-based work documents her family’s relationship with domestic spaces and their impact on the natural world. Motherhood provides an ambient background. After her first solo exhibition at Greenhill Galleries in 2000 Fran won the 2003 Ruth Tuck Scholarship to Santa Repararta International School of Art, Florence, returning to complete Honours in Visual Arts at SASA in 2005, with live drawings of social interaction, and performance. Her portrait of Chrissy Amphlett was shortlisted in the 2012 Portia Geach Memorial Art Prize. After 2012 the kitchen tabletop became, out of motherhood-necessity, her studio, domestic routines marking evolving palimpsests across unstretched canvas ‘tablecloths’. ‘Tabletop 1’ won the Fleurieu Food & Wine Art Prize 2016. Fran’s Limber Up mentorship with Christopher Orchard led to representation with BMG, with solo exhibitions in 2017 and - supported by the Ed Tweddell Studio Residency at Central Studios - in SALA 2018. Her botanical inspired ‘Collections Project’ work in 2017 was exhibited in SALA and FRANFest. She was curated by Gabi Lane into ‘Good Mother’ at Central School of Art, SALA 2018, this artwork shortlisted in STILL National Still Life Award 2019, and the Adelaide Perry Prize for Drawing 2020. Recent work responds to her 2019 Country Arts residency to Grindell’s Hut in Adnyamathanha country, exhibited at Yarta Purtli Cultural Centre, Port Augusta 2020, Collective Haunt in SALA 2020, and to be exhibited at Light Square Gallery in SALA 2021. Fran’s work was recently shortlisted in The Paul Guest Prize for Drawing 2019, Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize 2019, and Adelaide Parklands Art Prize 2020. Fran has been teaching drawing and painting for fourteen years, including at the South Australian School of Art, Tauondi Aboriginal College and currently at Adelaide College of the Arts.

Suzie Lockery: Spatial Shift

SALA exhibition August 1 - September 30, 2021

Exhibition launch August 14 at 3pm

with guest opening speaker Emma Fey, Chief Executive Officer - Guildhouse

Suzie Lockery is an Adelaide based, multidisciplinary artist working across the fields of drawing, painting, printmaking and installation. She considers her art practice to be a meditative process that provides a site for personal cogitation and reconnection, especially amid our hyperconnected existence. 

Through the application of intricate line work and spatial bands of layered colour, Suzie creates an inherently topographic visual language with the intention to convey a sense of transience within her work; reflective of our constant shifting physical and metaphysical ‘landscape’.

BIO

Suzie Lockery is a visual artist based in Adelaide, South Australia. In 2013 she completed a Bachelor of Visual Art and Design (major Printmaking) with a Principal’s Merit Award from the Adelaide College of the Arts, and was selected for the 2013 Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition.

 Suzie has participated in multiple group and solo exhibitions throughout Australia and the United States, and was a finalist in the Rick Amor Print Prize in 2015. She has been the recipient of grants from the Helpmann Academy and Arts SA and has presented various printmaking workshops throughout Adelaide, including ‘Makers at the Museum’ at the South Australian Museum in 2016. She was represented by West Gallery Thebarton at Paper Contemporary|Sydney Contemporary Art Fair in 2018 and 2019.

Working across various mediums to include printmaking, drawing, painting and installation, Suzie continues to work from her studio at Central Studios in Kent Town. Her work is held in both public and private collections throughout Australia and the United States.

THROUGH DIFFERENT EYES

Sixth journey in human landscape

Kathryn Hill, Ray Meandering, Barbara Palmer and Robyn Zerna-Russell

June 25 - July 28, 2021

Exhibition Opening Saturday June 26 at 2-4pm

Guest Opening Speaker Melinda Rankin, Director Fabrik

Wine by Bird in Hand

This exhibition is based on the shared notion that humans alter and manipulate the natural environment to their own needs.  Cultural activity leaves traces on the landscape and leads to a profound impact on place.  The body of work produced, is the result of collaborative and individual visits to the Hills Region.  Beginning with a seed of an idea, each artist presents their own contemporary visual response to the beautiful, complex and unique landscape. In this collection, emotion, observation and imagination play with memory to evoke the relationship between place and human life. The artists invite the audience to join them on their journey.

Artists and friends, Kathryn Hill, Ray Meandering, Barbara Palmer and Robyn Zerna-Russell all share an interest in landscape and have common ideals and contemporary practices. A number of years ago, they decided to work together in creating artworks in ‘response to place’ and so began their first Journey in Human Landscape. These journeys ‘to place’ have encompassed Adelaide environs, followed by Port Adelaide, Barossa, Port Augusta, the Alexandrina region and now ‘the Adelaide Hills’; our sixth journey.

The artists have all been recipients of the Grindell’s Hut Artist-in-Residency Programme in the Vulcathunha-Gammon Ranges and have participated in many exhibitions and community art projects.

To this exhibition, the artists bring many decades of art practice, visual art education, the enjoyment of experimenting with new media, and the passion to create and engage with the community.

John Ashcroft: Renaissance Goes Surreal

June 25 to July 25, 2021

Contrary to the art of the Renaissance, Surrealism rejects the rational vision of life in favour of the magic and strange beauty in the unexpected.

Artist John Ashcroft takes images from the paintings of artists such as Titian, Poussin, Botticelli and Rubens and digitally transforms them into a contemporary context.

Inspired by his admiration of these great artists, Ashcroft reinterprets these masterpieces to acknowledge their enormous contribution to our history of art. Each of the resulting works is an unpredictable alchemy of motifs that reveal the magic of the unexpected and the uncanny.

Wendy Dixon-Whiley: Macrocosm

March 24 – April 28, 2021

Exhibition Launch Wednesday March, 24 6-8pm

Guest Opening Speaker Kath Inglis, Jeweller and Head of Jewellery Studio, Jam Factory

Wendy Dixon-Whiley will be drawing on the gallery walls at the launch. This is a one off live drawing event.

The work shown in this exhibition is the result of a process of reflexive practice. An unplanned 'pictorial script', the work is always a product of the time, place and context in which it was created. As I work within the space as I make the work, forms change and evolve in response to my mood. Depending on where I stand as I work, some elements of the mark making become less important and others re-assert their presence, they morph in to one another and highlight new perspectives. They fill and overwhelm the space with their presence. In accessing an internal ‘visual universe’ as I make the work, I am engaging in a form of imaginative play; a type of ’stream of consciousness’ painting. In doing this I aim to take the viewer on a journey of making their own associations as I break down the barriers between my own internal and external worlds. 

In the use of black lights in the space, the line work is taken one step further and becomes an expression of a void, making the negative white space a work of its own. This provides the viewer with the opportunity to encounter how the drawings change and disappear from view depending on the lighting and their position. 

BIO:

Wendy Dixon-Whiley is a Visual Artist working in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. With a Bachelor of Illustration Design and Master of Visual Art and Creative Practice, Wendy has participated in multiple group and solo exhibitions in Australia and overseas. Wendy is most often found working from her studio at the Hahndorf Academy in South Australia. She is best known in the Adelaide Hills for her large-scale street art projects and her works are held in private collections in Australia and internationally.

Wendy Dixon-Whiley’s energetic but considered works are executed in multiple mediums and scales as she works to find the best modes of expressing an internal visual universe of figures, marks and symbols. Tracing her influences back to 80’s street art as well as graphic illustrative styles from 90’s popular culture, Dixon-Whiley domesticates at times dark social themes through absurd and nonsensical forms. Her practice incorporates drawing, painting, installation and experimental methods to bring these ideas to life. Dixon-Whiley distils her imagery through a process of working with unbroken and unhesitating mark-making through to more detailed, illustrative works.

Claire Wildish: The Papyrophillia Project FRINGE 2021

February 19 - March 21, 2021

Exhibition launch Sunday FEBRUARY 21st at 3-5pm

The Papyrophilia Project is an interactive space designed by kids for kids. During Fringe 2021 paper loving kids are invited to Hahndorf Academy to create, collaborate and help curate this growing, immersive and interactive exhibition exploring self-expression inspired by all we have around us. If you love building rockets and castles out of cardboard boxes, this is the place for you.

Artist Bio

Claire is a passionate community artist and kid at heart who grew up in the country in a family of theatrics. She studied fashion design and multimedia while travelling and looking for adventures, breathing in the air and the people she met along the way. She found her passion in community arts, developing multi-arts programs with children, Indigenous Australians and multi-cultural community groups in outback and urban Australia and internationally.

 For five years she and her family lived in in the remote Western Australian Indigenous community of Irrunytju where she learnt the secret art of listening and storytelling while managing the Minyma Kutjara Arts Project. In collaboration with senior Pitjantjantjara/Ngaantjarra elders and local artists she helped initiate the re-opening of the art centre after many years of closure. In 2014-15 she project managed and curated Kapi Ungkupayi / He Gave Us Water for Tarnanthi Festival of Contemporary Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander Art, a multi-media, multi-sensory exhibition involving five principal artists and over 100 supporting artists.

 Since moving to Adelaide five years ago she has grown her own arts practise while working alongside the South Australian Museum, Life Without Barriers, Autism SA, Westcare, Mitcham Council, Laurel Pallative Care Foundation and the Art Gallery of South Australia.

 In 2020 she was the successful recipient of the Adelaide City Library SALA Festival Emerging Curator Grant. “I am Awe-tistic”, a collaborative exhibition giving twenty-eight young emerging artists on the autism spectrum a voice, celebrating their hearts and minds and exploring their curious curiosities.

All this is a constant inspiration for her art practise along with her two extraordinary children who taught her how to make zines and from their breakfast table publishing company where they cut and paste strange characters on wild adventures in search of cockroaches, cucumbers, dead potatoes and ice cream dreams. They also helped her start the after-school arts program, The Cucumber Project at Cumberland Park Community Centre.

Arlon Hall: Nice to Meet You FRINGE 2021

February 19 – March 21, 2021

Exhibition launch Sunday FEBRUARY 21st at 3-5pm

‘Nice To Meet You’ is a new body of work by Adelaide based Artist Arlon Hall. In this exhibition Hall continues to explore new possibilities within his practice, investigating the relationship between painting, drawing, sculpture, light, movement, interaction and installation. Bold colour and abstract shapes create playful compositions which dance with each other in a playground of instinct. Line and shape has been transformed into a three dimensional space through sculpture and installation, which in turn has become reference points for new drawings and paintings to emerge. Throughout the period of the exhibition the audience will be invited to engage with interactive elements within the installation and become active players within Hall’s colourful world.

Artist Bio

Arlon Hall is a contemporary Artist who graduated from the South Australian School of Art with honours in 2011 and is a current studio member of Praxis Art Space.

Predominantly working in painting and drawing, Hall’s current practice investigates the relationship between line and colour, fusing these elements together, exploring the moments in between and in collision.  Through this ongoing investigation of drawing and painting, Hall is able to communicate particular concepts with the entanglement of colour, line and symbols through his abstract painting. 

He has recently been exploring ways to has been extend his painting and drawings through interactive sculpture and installation. 

He is a member of the art collective 'The Bait Fridge', where his practice is further expanded through performance, dance and costume making.

Hall also works as a secondary high school art teacher and has been involved in running and assisting workshops for Carclew’s Pom Pom Program. 

In 2015 Hall undertook a residency at Sanskriti Kendra, New Delhi, India through The Helpmann Academy. Hall was awarded the Eran Svigos Award for Best Visual Art for his Playground Exhibition in the 2019 Adelaide Fringe Festival. He has exhibited at a number of galleries through South Australia including the Barossa Regional Gallery, FELT Space, Peter Walker Fine Art, Carclew, Floating Goose Studios, Fontanelle, Praxis Art Space and Sauerbier House.
