The Coast Confidential team of Regina King and Peter Flowers once again captured the spirit on Friday night for the exhibition opening of the solo shows by artists Fiona Kennedy-Altoft and Melitta Perry.

"How could a girl refuse an invitation that says "Frocks, Feathers, Furs", especially if it is also Fiona Kennedy-Altoft's latest exhibition at Retrospect Galleries at the Oracle.  And so it was on Friday night that art lovers young and old gathered to admire the whimsical works that Fiona has created based on observations of the people around her and the animals she sees in them.  Her humorous, imaginative paintings have won several awards and will bring a smile to your face..."

An amazing new piece arrived from artist Shane Martin in the Broadbeach gallery this morning - well worth a visit just to see in person!

Shane creates this using engraving techniques, and the application of finely ground intense transparent pigments, which all lay beneath a deep layer of crystal clear glaze to give an incredible depth of colour and life to each piece. With a 3D like quality, these works transform their appearance depending on the angle of light reflection, to create an interactive experience for the viewer.
