During the 2024 Arts Trail, Rusten House Arts Centre will feature four exhibitions by local artists, that highlight the diversity of work that can be found in our region. Patrick Morison’s solo exhibition LOOKS reflects his fondness of human forms and faces and bold but limited use of colour. His process involves sketching and layering paint, using a minimal colour palette and abstracted forms to reflect the emotions of his chosen subjects. Morison trained at the Canberra Institute of Art, ANU, graduating in 1989 with a Bachelor of Visual Painting. He has exhibited as part of numerous group and solo exhibitions, showcasing work at Bitumen River Gallery, Solandar Gallery, Graphix Brasserie and Gorman House in Canberra, as well as Queanbeyan’s Design Plus Gallery. He is also a regular exhibitor in the annual QPRC & Bendigo Bank Art Awards and was the recipient of The Hive Exhibition Award in the 2019 QPRC Regional Arts Awards. Morison’s exhibition LOOKS runs from 28 September – 20 October.
