3D Painting with Petalia Humphreys
Join artist Petalia Humphreys for a playful examination of formal approaches to two-dimensional and three-dimensional painting. Exploring and reinterpreting familiar architectural surrounds, this workshop will guide you through Petalia’s making processes that includes digital photography – using an iPhone to capture compositions that are translated to digital and paper templates to then inform three-dimensional paintings. Considering the potentiality of form and perception participants will work with gouache/watercolour to explore the 2D component of the process, then transfer designs onto a small wooden box using acrylic paint that become ‘Active Objects’.

3 Squared
3 Squared brings together the work of Michael Ciavarella, Andrew Dixon, Petalia Humphreys, June Sartracom. These 4 local artists all share practices that sit within a history of reductive abstraction, with common concerns for geometry and form. Each inhabiting a 3 squared exhibition wall, the artists explore the space with works that speak from their own visual language and practice. Collectively, 3 Squared presents an engaging, playful exhibition of abstract works.

“Apart” is considered the separation between parts, whereas “a part” refers to a fraction of a whole. “Ment” is the object, or result of an action. A-part-ment is the culmination of all these things, presented as a playful exhibition of non-objective hard-edge geometric three-dimensional paintings.

Betwixt
Petalia Humphreys
Odessa Mahony-de Vries
June Sartracom
Betwixt is a conversation about painting that re-interprets the space between the image and its surface. In an illusory display regional artists Petalia Humphreys, Odessa Mahony-de Vries and June Sartracom bring their practices together in dialogue about the materiality of surface and the physicality of space. Presenting bold colours, gestural marks and subtle shifting shades this dynamic exhibition celebrates the performativity of making and viewing. In attempt to re-organise and dismantle the familiar Betwixt re-imagines the painting as an object. Together these artists generate three dimensional paintings that protrude from walls, leave the wall and refuse flat.

Inhabit
Noosa Regional Gallery
16 July - 5 September 2021
Inhabit is a new body of work by local artist Petalia Humphreys that explores both non-objective and architectonic approaches to geometric painting.
With non-objective considerations for colour, space and form, Humphreys’ reductive cube paintings reconsider traditional gallery installation by occupying corners, or in having been hung well below the recommended eye line. Humphreys’ three-dimensional paintings occupy the gallery alongside wall painted mural work that are site-specific responses to the architecture of space.
Humphreys’ hand-made structural forms are both formal and playful, inviting the viewer to actively engage with the gallery space. The hard edge and crisp lines create a tension that is relieved by the painted surface that reveals the gestural stroke of the artist’s hand.
