Showing from the 29th Nov | 13th De c
A Small Vision is the debut exhibition from Darwin artist Paul Seden . Paul first entered the world of chalk pastels via fellow local artist Pascale, so it seems only fitting he would first exhibit alongside her.
With works covering landscapes, portraits, cartoons and children's storybooks, Paul is a unique artist and you most definitely do not want to miss his debut at DVA!

EXHIBITION
Pascale Zufferey | Main Gallery & Foyer
Opening 6pm Friday 29th of November 2019
Showing from the 29th Nov | 13th Dec
Beneath the Surface is a series of mixed media artworks created by local artist Pascale Zufferey. Pascale’s artworks reflect the Top End; the people, landscape and its wildlife, particularly the bird life.
In this exhibition she works primarily in acrylics and uses a combination of collage elements: paper, leaves, bark, snake skin, texture pastes, prints, pastels and line drawings. These are then over painted with glazes of colour and drawn back into creating beautiful multi-layered works.
Beneath the Surface is a playful look at our wonderful landscapes and the little things hidden beneath the surface. The artist invites you to come closer to the artworks and discover some of the elements hidden beneath the layers.

EXHIBITION
Jane Kennedy | Gallery Two
Opening 6pm Friday 1st of November 2019
Showing from the 1st Nov | 22nd Nov
This small scale exhibition explores our attachment to inanimate objects, from the extreme end of obsessive hoarding to sentimental attachments to objects that we hold dear.
Why do we find it difficult to throw away an old doll? It is just plastic after all. Is there a more tragic sight than a child's once loved toy found discarded.
We are caught between a world of new and exciting cheap toys that are loved for a moment and then discarded, and the obsession we have with hoarding objects that connect us to fading memories.
This exhibition attempts to compartmentalise and make sense of these attachments.

EXHIBITION
Rebecca Smyth | Gallery One
Opening 6pm Friday 1st of November 2019
Showing from the 1st Nov | 22nd Nov
Darwin's Rebecca Smyth was diagnosed with breast cancer late last year, after a string of topsy-turvy years.
A cartoon just appeared in her head that same day, and as she drew it later she realised that this could be a coping mechanism. This series just kept growing as Rebecca progressed through surgery, chemo, radiation and a long slow recovery.
When it was all just getting too depressing and bleak she saw an exhibition of Brian Bulley's whimsical artworks, and it inspired the Owl and the Pussycat to come out to play for a while, as a bit of relief.
Join us for the opening of Rebecca's exhibition and journey into the ups and downs of her diagnosis, treatment and subsequent recovery.
You can find more of Rebecca's work online at http://www.rebeccasmythart.com.au/ or https://breastcancercartoons.weebly.com/

EXHIBITION
Chiggy | Gallery One
Opening Friday 4th of October 2019
Showing from the 5th Oct | 26th Oct
Chiggy’s solo exhibition exposing the thinking behind her art practice.
Through image, colour and word this exhibition, reveals the thinking, emotion and passion behind her art practice. How she began and where she is headed. It is a bright exhibition where she not only shares her passion and semi-abstract style but opens her heart and shares a little more on the highs and lows of making art.
