Are you someone with a special passion for contemporary arts? If you are planning to visit Brisbane any time soon, head to one or two of its art galleries as well. This article will list some of the most popular ones of all, and they all have unique aspects from each other.
If you are staying in one of the closest Brisbane hotels to this art gallery such as Oaks Brisbane Festival Suites, don't miss out on this! Head to the recently opened GOMA also known as the Queensland Art Gallery (as it was developed the complement the QAG) to admire some impressive pieces of art. The building itself is an architectural marvel, so you'll surely be attracted to it as soon as you see the entrance. Since this gallery is located only a little walk away from the city centre, many visitors come here on a daily basis to explore the arts, so expect to meet some crowd whenever you go.
An innovative British couple, Chris and Charlie first established their Asian gallery where they showcased both Eastern and Western pieces of art. They wanted to develop a meaningful fusion, and after their successful attempt in Singapore, they launched the same concept in Brisbane in 2008 by the name of 'Redsea Gallery'. This impressive gallery houses sculptures and paintings from various parts of the world including New Zealand, Europe, South East Asia, and Australia.
Just as the name suggests, this art gallery is located in the Brisbane suburb, Woolloongabba and is a perfect place in which you can appreciate some beautiful pieces of modern art. What you'll love the most about this art gallery is the opportunity that it has given to home-grown artists. There are many sculptures, ceramics, paintings, and paper works by various artists, and they help you to change your perception of multiculturalism.
If you are thinking of exploring the Brisbane Botanical Gardens during your tour, why will you miss out on exploring the QUT Art Museum located right next to it? There are many paintings, ceramics, decorative arts, and sculptures to be appreciated here, and they all revolve around the concepts of new technology, Queensland art Aboriginal arts. It also hosts art exhibitions quite frequently to encourage contemporary art skills, especially for the students of the Queensland University of Technology (QUT).
Philip Bacon- the founder of this art gallery would not have introduced this novel concept in 1974 if not for the encouragement by his friends who were also artists. The small exhibition space with the name 'Philip Bacon Galleries' then faced a major make-over in its architectural design in 2001, and today, it's one of the leading contemporary art galleries in the entire country. There is an exhibition program going on here and during your visit, you may explore many impressive works of artists such as Robert Dickerson, Tim Storrier, and William Robinson.
