Showing from the 29th May | 13th June
Tropicana encapsulates Darwin’s laid back lifestyle, seen through a retro-tropical point of view.
These works provide a visual documentation of the changes Darwin has faces throughout time, with vibrant Tropicana imagery and a bright 1960s-inspired colour palette. They were created with the aim to ignite the physical, spiritual and cultural energy of land and being.
Join DVA for the opening of this exciting exhibition at our gallery space on Friday, May 29 from 6pm or view the online exhibition here.

‘Ways of Seeing: Miya/Significant Plants – Beginnings’ showcases works from five culturally diverse, female artists – Glynis Lee, Angelina Lewis, Juwayning Lorraine Williams, Linda Yarrowin, Nena Zanos - created during a printmaking project at Wagait Beach. Artworks reflect each artist’s personal connection to chosen plants. Accompanying stories and video communicate cultural knowledge.

The viewer is exposed to obscurities of the universe including artwork, ‘Solar Flare’ depicting a solar explosion also, ‘Meteor Shower’ and ‘Supernova’. Energy and passion are radiating from the paintings, highlighting intensity. In contrast, ‘The Wormhole’ and ‘Galaxy’s Breath’ depict the timelessness and constancy of galaxies and the beyond.
