SUMMARY:The Mack Jost Gift
DESCRIPTION:Horsham Regional Art Gallery is pleased to exhibit the Mack Jost Gift\, a selection of works drawn from over 250 works donated to the Horsham Regional Art Gallery collection by Australian concert pianist Mack Jost (pronounced ‘yost’) AM (1918-2000). Jost’s legacy tells a nationally significant story of private benefaction supporting regional Australia and is an important element in the story of art and culture in the Wimmera. His generosity served our region and propelled forward the development of the art gallery.  \nThe Horsham Regional Art Gallery collection was then established in 1972. Eight years later\, Horsham-born Mack Jost approached Council and Gallery staff with the proposal of a significant series of gifts to the collection; he offered to gift his private collection of Australian paintings and works on paper to the Horsham collection\, as a series of donations during his lifetime and culminating in a significant bequest. Jost selected Horsham to commemorate his family’s long association with the Wimmera\, having been born in Horsham in 1918\, and his father Conrad Henry Jost was a farmer on land outside of Horsham for several decades. From then\, Jost progressively donated his personal art collection of over 250 works by significant Australian artists from the colonial and modern eras\, culminating in the final bequest after his death in 2000. \n  \n\nOrganised by Horsham Rural City Council

SUMMARY:Mark Dober and Brendan Nichol : Pastoral Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Art exhibition of paintings by Mark Dober and Brendan Nicholl of Castlemaine.   \nMark Dober is an established artist based in Castlemaine\, central Victoria where he paints and draws on site in the landscape surrounds of Castlemaine\, as well as at residencies\, many of which are interstate. \nThe pastoral landscape\, painted plein-air\, has been one of long-standing interest for the  artist. It was a subject that featured in his PhD in Painting at Monash University. \nMark also makes wall-sized works on paper (gouache and watercolour) which he exhibits at regional galleries around Australia. He currently has a solo exhibition of such work at Gympie Regional Gallery in Queensland. \nMark is a member of the Australian Watercolour Institute. The artist’s work is regularly shown in national contemporary art prizes; he regularly conducts plein-air painting workshops. \nBrendan Nicholl studied Signwriting in the 1970’s and put thirty plus years into it where signwriting was a passion involving designing as well as brushwork. Later Brendan studied Visual Art\, and for twelve years or more he focused on painting en pleinair.  \nRecently\, he has been a finalist in the Len Fox Award as well as the Maldon Portrait Prize. Painting outdoors is the best way Brendan has to get the gist of a scene\, where he can observe deeply; the sorts of details he finds interesting. \n  \n\nOrganised by Raillery Hub Inc.

SUMMARY:No tears in the bush: Neil Douglas
DESCRIPTION:Neil Douglas was an artist deeply connected to the Australian bush. Committed to conservation\, Douglas helped shape attitudes toward the protection of the natural environment and was awarded an MBE in recognition of his services to conservation and the arts. \nRejecting romanticised views of the landscape\, his work portrays the bush as a harsh arena of survival\, where life and death unfold without sentiment. His paintings capture this uncompromising realism\, reflecting his belief that there are no tears in the bush. \nWorking en plein air\, Douglas immersed himself fully in his surroundings\, believing the bush to be a total sensory experience rather than a passive scene. His practice was grounded in direct engagement: to feel\, inhabit\, and ultimately capture the essence of the landscape. Through this approach\, his work invites viewers toward a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Australian environment. \nDouglas’s connection to nature was both intimate and unconventional. From an early age\, he chose to go barefoot\, believing his feet to be sensitive recorders of the textures and rhythms of the land. This heightened physical awareness is reflected in the immediacy and tactility of his work. \nIn addition to painting\, Douglas was renowned for decorating earthenware vessels and ceramic sculptures. \n  \n\nOrganised by Horsham Rural City Council

SUMMARY:REVELATION: Aunty Di Turner
DESCRIPTION:Aunty Di Turner (born Gawler\, SA\, 1959?)\, is a member of the Stolen Generations from Kaurna Country\, South Australia\, living the rest of her life on Djab Wurrung Country. The softness of silk and the warmth of wool hold the marks of Country not as decoration\, but as evidence of relationship in REVELATION\, the inaugural solo exhibition of the Ararat-based artist. \nWorking with materials such as leaves\, flowers\, iron and copper\, Turner uses eco-dyeing processes to draw colour\, trace and pattern from the natural world and onto silk and wool. The process is both physical and intuitive. Rather than imposing an image onto the surface\, Turner allows fibre\, plant\, metal and water to work together. The resulting textiles carry the imprint of Country through gathered materials\, organic forms and mineral change. \nThe title REVELATION is intentionally multi-faceted. It alludes to the way the eco-dyeing process reveals new colours within cloth\, the artist’s own artistic progression as a result of this exhibition\, and the revelatory power of nature and the places that shape us. In this very special exhibition\, Turner has expanded on her textile practice to explore contemporary textile installation\, allowing her work to shift\, move and respond to the movement of visitors within the exhibition space. \n  \n\nOrganised by Horsham Rural City Council
