Summer Impressions

Summer Impressions presents a vibrant selection of contemporary regional art, created in dialogue with Hinton – Of Brushes and Light, NERAM’s collection exhibition celebrating Australian Impressionism from the Howard Hinton Collection. Summer Impressions invites participating artists to explore the atmosphere, colour and emotional resonance of summer, its heat, light, movement and mood, drawing creative inspiration from the broader impressionist sensibility: an attentiveness to fleeting moments, sensory experience and the expressive possibilities of colour and light. The result is a rich and diverse exhibition that bridges historical influence and contemporary interpretation, offering audiences a fresh and immersive experience of summer through the eyes of regional artists.

Artists: Eloise Roberts, Julia Griffin, Kerry Dunne, Kris Jackson, Liz Priestley, Lizzie Horne, Myfanwy Gullifer, Paula Jenkins, Rita Winiger, Simone Hale, Stephanie Creigh
