SUMMER exhibition features 182 works by more than fifty artists, and this week we have asked Pam Jackson, Director of Quadrant Gallery, to select three works as 'Exhibition Highlights of the Week'.
Pam selected the following works:
Judy PERFECT, Fine Feathers (no 110, watercolour, $400):
"This delightful work shows the skill of the artist very well – the expert blending of the pigment and the light touch of the artist has created an image of a bird that has both dignity and personality. It is the simplicity of this image that makes it work. It needs nothing else."

Sonja ROBAR, The Surfers (no 75, mixed media, $295):
"The Surfers epitomises Summer – the theme of this exhibition. The artist has created an iconic Australian image using photography and digital imaging. Mounted on an aluminium backing, this work has a very contemporary look that verges upon abstract. Robar has chosen a classic summer scene of surfers at the beach, but has cleverly avoided cliché in the use of her unique view and presentation of the work."

Darren GILBERT, Seed Head (no 6, metal & wood sculpture, $795):
"This work has an elegance of shape despite the medium of rusted metal and rough wood. It symbolises the balance of life in the Australian countryside: the necessity of making do with what you have yet creating something beautiful from it. The delicacy of shape belies the tough core of metal – something that seeds need to survive and flourish."
All works in the exhibition are available for sale and immediate collection.
The exhibition is open until Saturday, 1 February 2014 (by appointment only between 23 December 2013 and 13 January 2014).
