| Dr Noris Ionnou opening the SEGUE Exhibition |
Dr Noris Ioannou officially opened the SEGUE exhibition at Kirra Galleries last Thursday evening. The exhibition features the work of four renowned Australian Glass Artists, Catherine Aldrete-Morris, Dr Gerry King, Keith Rowe and Emma Varga.
Dr Ioannou said at the exhibition opening:
"All of these works by these four artists are personable and striking forms. They engage the senses and intellect, they fuse curvature, outline and surface with colour and patterns in new and vigorous ways.
What else have these artists in common?
Passion - and an intensity of commitment to glass akin to the very complexities of the material they manipulate."
Dr Ioannou is the author of 'Australian Studio Glass: the movement, its makers and their art'. He is currently the Coordinator of J-Studios Artist Community, North Fitzroy.
