WHEN : 3rd July – 3rd August
WHERE : Jan Manton Art
Jan Manton Art announces the gallery’s latest exhibition, Late Change, by Brisbane based artist Keith Burt.
This is a first time the gallery has shown Burt’s work and the exhibition consists of large and small scale paintings of street and skyscapes of well know areas in and around Brisbane. The platte is dark and moody with brooding skies looming with summer storm clouds and late afternoon light bouncing off buildings and highlighting the sky. Burt’s work features easily recognisable Brisbane landmarks including the iconic ‘Torbreck’ apartments at Highgate Hill and street scenes from the West End area of Brisbane.
Keith Burt states that, “Late Change is a collection of works looking at stretching shadows and gathering clouds in the fading light of the evening. The paintings are assembled with strokes applied swiftly and deliberately, building to an harmonious whole. From broad areas of fading gray skies to gables catching the last rays of sun and rolling clouds over the horizon we feel the Late Change coming”.
Burt has twice been a finalist in the Churchie National Emerging Art Prize, was a finalist in the 2012 Cricket Art Prize and was awarded the Marie Ellis OAM Prize for Drawing for 2011. Burt has recently undertaken several portrait and landscape commissions for The Anglican Grammar School (“Churchie”) and the Mater Hospital and is presently commissioned to paint the portrait of the Qld President of the AMA.
