Holmes a Court Gallery @ Vasse Felix, 13th April - 22nd June, 2025
As the fourth instalment of their series of Collection Focus exhibitions, The Hills: An Artists’ Gathering features the work of 28 artists from the heart of the Janet Holmes a Court Collections. Richard Woldendorp is represented with a black & white photograph of Xanthorrhoea.
On the fringes of Perth, the Hills have been and continue to be an area of rich artistic activity. They nurture the spirit and creative imagination of many artists. From the 1960’s there emerged an artist’s colony, of sorts. Described candidly as ‘an arty bohemian enclave’, it was a place where creative minds and hearts gathered, a place to form community, to work, to bicker, to celebrate, to build lives and create.
