Redland City Council’s cultural spokesperson Cr Lance Hewlett said it was wonderful to see these two regionally touring exhibitions make their way to Redlands.

“Transience: A confluence of Australian and Chinese culture is a touring exhibition by artists Joe Furlonger, Jun Chen and Pamela See that explores Australian and Chinese cultures coming together through art techniques, subject matter and scale of works,” he said.

“Touring since 2012, Transience, encourages people to consider the fleeting moments in our everyday lives by capturing these in a unique series of works referencing Australian and Chinese art techniques.

“Ah Xian: Metaphysica  is an exhibition of 10 life-size bronze and brass figurative busts by Chinese-Australian artist Ah Xian, from the Collection of the Queensland Art Gallery │ Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA).

“Ah Xian is one of Australia’s leading contemporary artists and his Metaphysica exhibition will only tour to fourteen venues across Queensland, so it is a coup for the Redlands to be selected as one of those venues.

 “It is a rare chance to see these exhibitions, which complement and contrast each other perfectly, together and I encourage people to enjoy them while they are in Redlands.”
