Exhibitions

Steel Life | Greenbush Art Group

The Greenbush Art Group is back at the Araluen Arts Centre for their sixth exhibition. All artists are working within the Alice Springs Correctional Centre creating sculptures using repurposed materials like metal off cuts, car parts, or wood. In this year’s exhibition the artists are focusing on representing native animals from memory or when they can be outdoor and encounter flying visitors.

“The inspiration of making frill neck lizards came from remembering the road signs
around the Top End saying, “We like our lizards frilled not grilled”. I tried to capture the action of the lizards in movement. They’re made of reused and repurposed items such as nuts, wire, ball bearings and motor parts which is the style of art I find interesting.” 
– BL -Artist.

The Greenbush artists are Visual art students. The certificates are offered through Charles Darwin University. All artworks are available for sale. A percentage of sales will be going to the artists.
