The MOAC Curator & Collections Manager, Ingrid Hedgcock, sets up the still life re-creation in front of the striking black and gold screen featured in many of Olley’s yellow room interiors.
Welcome to the Gallery’s ninth still life challenge, and the second challenge for the exhibition At Home: Margaret Olley & Ben Quilty. Since June 2020 we have been setting still life challenges inspired by the exhibitions on display at the Margaret Olley Art Centre, and have loved giving special access to the objects that inspired Margaret Olley. This time the beautiful black and gold screen used in so many of Olley’s paintings is the backdrop for the still life challenge. Whether it is through painting, drawing, 3d, mixed media or photography – we can’t wait to see how you respond to the challenge. Don’t forget to share your creations on social media with the hashtag #unlockingmargaretshouse!
