In the heart of Marrickville live 2X Big Bad Wulffs; Barbara and Kay. The mother and daughter duo are Sydney artists, boasting a colourful history in the visual art world. From the 19th of July until the 5th of August, this exhibition holds a range of paintings, drawings and sculptures spanning from their early works to their most recent.
Exploring the diverse themes of the soul, mortality, Buddhism, nature and modern surrealism, the exhibition covers a wide range of interests. With ceramic river stones, rock pools and seed pods, there is something for nature lovers at heart, and for those who marvel in the craftsmanship of bronze and metal work, there are some emotionally challenging depictions. The artworks seem to explore the duality of the human condition, as each installation speaks to the individual, causing them to have introspective moments of reflection. On the other hand, each piece then stands for the wider human experience, as the artworks hold a universal appeal due to their wit and satirical impact.
This exhibition is a community service run by volunteers, so for those wishing for an enriching day of art and culture, look no further. There is in fact an option to purchase these works or prints thereof, however entry is free. *Please note, however, we warn patrons that there is a strong emphasis on life drawings and sculptures, so perhaps, parental supervision is required for minors.
For those in search of a day trip, we suggest public transport. The art gallery is a mere 800 metres from the train station with a short stroll down the multicultural main street. Feeling parched? To the left of the station you’ll follow the waft of freshly ground coffee, only to find an enticing display of Greek cakes and sweet treats at the Hellenic Bakery. Take a break with some traditional Vanilla Slice, Baklava or a Caramel Baked Ricotta cheesecake.
