Images of a mystical otherworld will adorn the walls and plinths of Serpentine Community Gallery tonight at the opening of a new exhibition ‘Otherworldly’.

Otherworldly is a group exhibition featuring the works of local artists Dougal Binns, Kane Bowman, John Adams, Julia Lincoln and Inara Kent – whose art depicts mystical and transcendental worlds of an imaginary or spiritual nature

An image of crystals in the afternoon light is one of the featured artworks- by local artist Julia Lincoln. Her work ‘Morning Vision’ is an example of her energy photography in a mixed media form. 

A Quiet Place by John Adams.

Gallery founding member Corinne (Rin) Batt-Rowden said the theme brought together a wide variety of media, including photography, sculpture, paintings and mixed media, but it was “the diversity of artists who contributed which created the depth and breadth of the exhibition”. 

“Visitors of the gallery are welcome to attend the opening tonight from 6 till 8pm and chat with the artists about their work,” Rin said.

“Julia’s energy photography art is for sale and is displayed in a frame, but the buyer can choose the frame which best suits their home.She is always happy to discuss her energy work and what inspires her to create.

“Covid safe policies are in place and masks are welcome and hand sanitising is mandatory - as is social distancing."

Rin said Serpentine Gallery is also currently exhibiting a collection of hand built ceramics made by Ray Moller, many of which are on sale. 

“Ray has been exhibiting work around the globe for the last 20 years,” Rin said. “Ray’s beautiful pieces explore the human figure, spirituality and organic forms. We have sold a lot of his sculptures since we opened 14 years ago. His work is quite popular.” 

‘Otherworldly’ opens 6pm, Friday, October 23 and runs until November 16. People are invited to drop by during the gallery’s regular opening hours.

The Serpentine Gallery is a local not for profit community run artist initiative located at 17 Bridge Street, North Lismore.
