ABOUT THIS EXHIBITION

DATES & TIMES

1 - 30 August

Open Daily: 10am - 4pm

In local artist Robin Arnst’s  exhibition Spirit of Discovery we see the use of modern technology to capture paintings. Arnst has used a photocopier to alter the surface and visual effect of her own original paintings. This act of reworking and reprinting works opens a new direction for Arnst. In a era when much of the composing of images for paintings is done through the computer and photographs.
