EXHIBITION
Rebecca Smyth | Gallery One
Opening 6pm Friday 29th of May 2020
Showing from the 29th May | 13th June
After her last exhibition at DVA in 2019, all about the joys of cancer, Rebecca thought she needed to do something more fun and light-hearted and so Darwin Life was born. These works highlight the little pleasures of everyday life here in the Top End. Darwin Life is about the Build Up, the Wet, and all the other wonderful things that make life in Darwin unique, funny and special.
Join DVA for the opening of this uniquely Top End exhibition at our gallery space in Harbour View Plaza 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.
