Studio Direct - Kolbusz Space

ANNA SABADINI
   Studio Direct

   11/6/21–13/6/21

Studio Direct at Kolbusz Space presents a curated selection of Anna Sabadini’s
recognisable investigations that include palettes and references to Old Master
paintings. Each work moves beyond traditional edges by including an expanded
context of materiality and inspiration from art history. The visibility of this context
allows the viewer to appreciate the importance of relationships between paint,
painting, painter and painting history.

After receiving a Doctor of Creative Arts from Curtin University, Sabadini taught there
for many years. She has exhibited nationally and her work has won numerous
awards and is in significant collections.

Studio Direct exhibitions provide collectors with a significant opportunity to invest in
affordable and collectible works as a once-off opportunity. These exhibitions
specifically support artists through periods of growth and flux in order to allow space
and funds for further development of their artistic practices and promote
sustainability of important artistic careers.
