Sharing some of our local RenewArt 2020 artists and performers here.

Introducing Robyn Bardas

I completed a BA Fine Arts (painting) at RMIT Melbourne in 1989 and MFA at Dunedin School of Art in 2016.

In 2017-18 I implemented and curated a contemporary Art Space at The Rippon Hall, showing emerging and MFA artists.

I have recently completed an exhibition tour of the Public Galleries of the South Island in a show: “New Perspectives in Landscape” at Ashburton Public Art Gallery, Blenheim Millenium Public Gallery, Forrester Gallery Oamaru and Eastern Southland Gallery in Gore.

In “Red Tussock. Line.1” I investigate the use of horizontal lines in painting. Made in response to a residency at the Pukerau Red Tussock reserve on a roadside section of farmland near Gore, the tussock regenerates amid other native species.
