The Essence of Presence
Bird Gallery invites you to step inside the colourful world of mother and son artistic duo, Elizabeth and Michael McDermaid.
Overview
Slip into a colourful world with the help of artists Elizabeth Beppie and Michael McDermaid. In their first exhibition together, this mother and son duo will share their unique artistic styles. Their wide range of skills span the genres of surrealism, abstract, naïve, expressionism and photography. The pair share a love for vibrant colours and intricate detail.
Michael's portion of the exhibition will include his photography which captures nature, portraits and stills of the world around him. Being a multi-talented artist, Michael's paintings which express surreal scenes will also be featured. His mother, Beppie, will be showing her highly stylised and naïve paintings. They drip with colour and playfully capture the viewer's imagination.
The Essence of Presence's opening night will be held on Friday 13 December 6pm. Where else are you going to find vibrant artwork, bands and a drumming circle, what's more, all of the proceeds go towards Mens Line Australia.
