to 2 May

How Soon Is Now?

Art of Bruce Reynold

How Soon Is Now? brings together a selection of Bruce Reynolds’ exquisite cast relief works with painterly, two-dimensional collaged linoleum works.

It celebrates a physicality that is frequently overlooked in today’s growing digital environment.

Visitors to this exhibition will enjoy immersing themselves in the physicality of Bruce Reynolds’ superbly crafted works. They can appreciate his references to antiquity, migration, memory and time, and the natural and built environment.

Free - no bookings required. All ages.

About the artist

Bruce Reynolds’ work grew from collage to relief and sculpture over a number of decades. Artist residencies in Rome focused his studio and architectural works on relief forms that occupy the space between painting and sculpture, and between drawing and architecture. He describes it as being both archaic and a fresh place of representation.

How Soon is Now? is a Museums & Galleries Queensland touring exhibition presented in partnership with the artist, Bruce Reynolds. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government’s Visions of Australia program, and is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.

Harvest

Harvest

This International Women's Day we celebrate our local women farmers and agribusiness champions.

Harvest digs down into the rich agricultural heritage of our region - its deep roots, thriving present, and bold growth for the future.

The exhibition celebrates stories of this Country which has always been home to Aboriginal people. Country has been managed expertly for tens of thousands of years and continues to see abundant yields produced by today’s farmers.

Through a vibrant mix of historical objects, striking photographs, and personal stories, Harvest reveals how agriculture has always influenced our land, economy, and ways of life.

This exhibition will be shown first at Redcliffe Museum, followed by Pine Rivers Heritage Museum. Each museum will share some homegrown stories.

New School of the Living and the Dead

to 6 June

New School of the Living and the Dead

New School of the Living and the Dead is an imaginative exhibition of new works by Brisbane-based artist Bill Platz. 

In 1972, three life-size Classical Greek bronze statues were discovered on the Mediterranean seabed off the coast of Southern Italy.

Two of the Riace Warriors are standing in a museum in Calabria as celebrated emblems of Classical beauty and the Western canon.

In this exhibition of new works, Platz imagines the third sculpture — the yawning warrior — was smuggled out of Italy, and, after a fraught journey, was jettisoned in the shallow waters of Deception Bay before it could be seized. 

This exhibition has been developed by City of Moreton Bay in collaboration with Bill Platz.

Free - no bookings required. All ages.

Redcliffe Art Gallery is open from Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM.
