Join us for the combined opening of two exhibitions at Burnie Arts. Patrick Grieve - Home and Troy Ruffels - Stone Tides Weeping Trees.
Doors open from 5.30pm for a 6pm start.
Patrick Grieve - Home has always been the Northwest Coast of Tasmania.
My Work has always been concerned with describing a sense of place and producing paintings that have their own life and can exist outside the constraints of a label, such as landscape. They are not direct representations of places that I visit and see every day, nor are they abstract. The most successful of my paintings have an uneasy edge between that of the figurative scene and pure pattern or colour.
Troy Ruffels - Stone Tides Weeping Trees is a visual and poetic meditation on the Miena Cider Gums of Tasmania’s central highland plateau. These eucalypts, resilient yet vulnerable, occupy a singular place in the Tasmanian psyche, enduring one of the most remote and unforgiving landscapes in Australia. In their trunks and hollows, they stand asarchivists of weather and memory, holding the story of a land shaped by wind, frost, drought and fire.
PLUS
Create Your Future: Spotlight on Hellyer College shines a light on the next generation of emerging artists, presenting works by selected 2025 Hellyer College TCE Art students at Burnie Regional Art Gallery.
Phase One: Friday 30 January – Saturday 17 March 2026
Featuring works by Ebony Robson-Wells, James Hyland, Makayla Buckby and Mia Newman
