Anneke Silver

Buddha Girls and Iconic Moments is a touring exhibition of mixed media works presented by Flying Arts Inc. profiling the works of Dr Anneke Silver from Townsville and Inez Fritschy from the Netherlands. Anneke Silver’s six "Iconic Moments" are mixed media works produced in response to special and spectacular moments during the artist’s travels in regional Queensland, as a tutor for Flying Arts. The artist keeps a visual diary while on her tours and these works are based on her diary entries. The artist uses the format of a religious icon from time to time in her practice to link the everyday with the extraordinary; or to mark connections between symbols and experience. Inez Fritschy’s 12 “Buddha Girls” are small-scale mixed media works on canvas focusing on the artist’s impressions of regional Queensland whilst tutoring for Flying Arts in 2007. The image of “Buddha Girl” represents that special state of silent emptiness and meditation prior to inspiration and explores the concept of the creative process. These 12 works are part a series of 150 Buddha Girls that the artist exhibits all over the world. The following images are a sample from this unique exhibition...
