Bundy Bannerman - A Journey of Life

Exhibition launch - February 22, 2-4pm

John “Bundy” Bannerman moved to the outback at the age of 7. He started working in his family’s outback trucking business at an early age and has hauled everything from livestock, mining equipment to hay and wool. After his last back injury in 2019 and the frustration of being in the “big smoke” during recovery, he decided to turn his hand to art – something he never expected to find joy and strength in. Bundy is now a full-time artist, primarily working with acrylics, and spends his time painting his love of trucks, cars, the outback and anything else that excites his imagination. Recently he has been exploring metal and wood as painting surfaces. Without art he knows he wouldn’t be here.

Bundy Bannerman, 2024

BIO

“I was an outback Road train truck driver for my family business. I’ve moved to Adelaide and took up painting as a hobby at Duffy Street Art supplies with encouragement from Megan and Kate.

I have painted for two years and had my own business as Pink Bear Art.

I like to paint the outback in subject of depression of myself.”

Cecilia Gunnarsson - As I See It

February 6 - March 23, 2025

Gallery 1

Exhibition launch - February 22, 2-4pm

"Being immersed in the landscape, in the natural world, is essential to me. I feel the need to seek sanctuary in wild places - to reconnect to a sense of being the same as all living things. To remind myself that I am also a part of nature, no more, no less. In this body of work, I have painted the outback, mountains and the ocean."

Cecilia Gunnarsson, 2024

BIO

Cecilia is an artist originally from Sweden. She grew up in a small country town where nature and the forest were always close. After half a lifetime in South Australia, its landscape is now also part of her with its smells and sounds, the colour and light, the seasons. Cecilia paints mainly in oils, expressing the light and form with patterns of colours and brushstrokes.
