Monica Rohan: Predicament

Overview

Queensland College of Art Honours Graduate, Monica Rohan, has created an exhibition of work that walks a fine line between sublime surrealism and grounded practicality. Predicament is a series of paintings that draw heavily from rural Queensland surroundings, then overlayed and intertwined with novel ideas and ruminations.

The paintings rely heavily on self portraiture and the use of space, with figures depicted in vivid settings that convey deep emotion and use of imagination. Monica Rohan was a finalist in the James Kiwi Watercolour Prize and has had works shown in galleries all across South East Queensland. This is an extremely talented artist who is coming into her own with a truly unique style and flair.

Predicament is an exhibition that will be familiar to those with deep connections to the Queensland soil, but with enough of a grasp of the use of imagination and fiction to hook any avid art lover.
