SUMMARY:Pasifik Horizon 2026
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1523319263370{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”10″ accent_color=”#4ba686″][vc_column_text]Paradise Palette Art Institute is proud to present Pasifik Horizon\, a landmark exhibition bringing together leading artists from Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia in a vibrant celebration of Pacific creativity\, identity\, and cultural exchange. The exhibition will run from Wednesday\, 28th of October to Sunday\, 8th of November at RQAS Brisbane Gallery. \nFeaturing works by Apa Hugo and Clement Koys (Papua New Guinea) and Stéphane Foucaud (New Caledonia)\, Pasifik Horizon showcases the dynamic artistic voices shaping contemporary Melanesian and Francophone Pacific art. \nPNG artist Apa Hugo\, one of the country’s most beloved contemporary painters\, presents colourful depictions of village life\, birds\, animals\, and cultural symbolism — a style shaped by his early mentorship under the late Mathius Kauage. Clement Koys contributes bold\, modern interpretations of Melanesian identity\, exploring cultural resilience and generational knowledge. \nNew Caledonian artist Stéphane Foucaud brings a striking “neo‑tribal” visual language informed by Kanak land markers\, scarification motifs\, and syncretic mythologies. His hybrid style blends spontaneous brushwork with fine pen drawing\, reflecting the layered cultural landscape of Oceania. \nA dedicated Paradise Palette mini‑section will feature selected works from PPAI’s collection\, honouring the founding vision of Don Wotton and celebrating the Institute’s mission to elevate Pacific artists and strengthen regional cultural exchange. \nVisitors are also welcome to attend the official opening event on Thursday\, 29th of October\, 6pm-8:30pm at RQAS Brisbane Gallery. This is a free event\, we look forward to seeing you at the gallery![/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”10″ accent_color=”#4ba686″][/vc_column][/vc_row] \n

SUMMARY:Mastering Portraiture - Drawing workshop with Dr Kay Kane
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1541476125948{border-radius: 4px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nThis workshop welcomes both newcomers and artists returning for a second (or third) time. Whether you are building foundations or refining skills you already possess\, the focus remains the same: portraiture drawing that is grounded in clear seeing rather than photographic imitation. \nThis course follows the same format as Kay’s workshop Fundamental Structure of the Human Head. At its core\, the course treats the essential elements of all drawing—size\, scale\, shape\, tonal relationships and spatial organisation—as equally vital. You will practise selecting\, organising and simplifying so that accurate\, eloquent observation becomes second nature. This disciplined seeing is the necessary groundwork for any expressive interpretation of the human face but can equally be applied to subjects other than portraiture. \nThroughout the five weeks\, Dr Kane will teach these fundamentals to the group while also giving regular one-to-one feedback\, so every participant—whether first-time or returning—receives personal guidance tailored to their stage of development. Returning artists often discover that revisiting the same principles with individual attention reveals new layers of understanding and opens fresh possibilities for expression. New students gain a solid\, structured pathway into portraiture. In both cases the aim is the same: to experience the living connection between structural understanding and expressive interpretation of the human visage. \n  \nClass dates – 5 classes running from 12:00pm-3:00pm: \n\nSaturday\, 10th October\nSaturday\, 17th October\nSaturday\, 24th October\nSaturday\, 31st October\nSaturday\, 14th November\n\nCost: \n\nRQAS Brisbane Members: $375 (for all 5 classes)\nNon-Members: $450 (for all 5 classes)\n\nMake sure to book your tickets soon via the link below as spaces are limited! \n  \nMaterials Supplied: Graphite\, 2B/4B/6B Pencils\, Plastic Ruler\, Plastic Rubber\, Heavy Cartridge Paper and Mixed Media Card. \nPLEASE NOTE: The workshop will be held in the upstairs studio gallery which is only accessible via a flight of stairs. \n  \nTutor Bio: \nDr Kay Kane is a highly respected artist with 50+ years of art practice to her name and 45 years’ experience as a teacher in visual art – drawing and painting.
