Фильм және анимация
Commissioned by Bathurst Regional Art Gallery and Campbelltown Arts Centre for the exhibition 'Luke Sciberras: Side of the Sky'.
At BRAG: 11 June - 7 August 2022
At C-A-C: 4 June - 7 August 2022
Bathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) in partnership with Campbelltown Arts Centre (C-A-C) presents a comprehensive survey exhibition of acclaimed artist, Luke Sciberras. Held concurrently across the two venues and covering 25 years of practice, Side of the Sky will focus on Sciberras’ extensive travels, and highlight his connection to Wedderburn, Hill End and the Central West region. The exhibition will also foreground Sciberras’ drawing and print practice.
Luke Sciberras draws inspiration from the immediate environment, working directly in the landscape, capturing elements, symbols, shapes and textures of places, usually over a series of visits. Upon return to his studio, he processes this raw material and, drawing on his memories and connections to local people, creates work that is as much about the process of painting as it is about the landscape where he began, and the place of the people within it.
Sciberras was born in Campbelltown and spent his formative years assisting artists in the Campbelltown artist-community of Wedderburn. From one artist-community to another, Sciberras has lived in historic Hill End since 2000, a town he first visited in 1997 as a National Art School student. C-A-C and BRAG both represent the artistic communities that are of central importance to Sciberras’ life and work.
A Bathurst Regional Art Gallery and Campbelltown Art Centre partnership.
Luke Sciberras is represented by King Street Gallery, Sydney and Scott Livesey Galleries, Melbourne.

Tq so true . Tq very much for your honesty. I feel the same
This was truly inspiring. I am in awe of Luke. His work, his perspective, his life. It's all so open and real. Someone said "Luke is art" and I can feel that. In awe and incredibly jealous that he's figured out a way to live his life like this. Appreciate so much that I was able to find this documentary today.
Really enjoyed the documentary and mesmerized by the art and process.
Emily is so beautiful, such beautiful Features
wonderful
I like that, "its what I do, I look" and the private studio, me too I dont let anyone into my place either because its my private space to make projects, its an extension of me
that's very beautiful. his erratic gestures so casual, a dancer he juts himself out there like a spear is his sight.
Inspiring. Luke has such clarity about his artistic purpose in a way that is also free and exciting. This video has helped me look at my own work in a new way. Thank you for this interview!
The drive to see, to catch the moment, the colour, the form, the life… Luke is art
beautiful art and such a deep and insightful artist!
This is a really nicely made documentary.
So interesting to see your process. Yes it is absolutely right...when a painter adds one thing...mostly we need to add here and there something else...I noticed that the last months when I worked in my studio! Thanks!
Damn
🎩 👍
Pleased to have watched this - v inspiring. The Gallipoli trip must have been challenging. I'm living in the shadow of ww2 - been in Austria for nearly a decade - the longer I'm here, the more I feel from the past - the more I see the scars. I struggle with landscapes when my mind is taken up by how awful most humans can be...really struggle.

Yes, maybe a comfort to consider it's not 'most humans', just the handful of stunted souls who monopolise power.
Awesome!👍🇨🇦😎

Sometimes it's both 😂
Is this Australia? No one says what country there are in, so viewer has to try reading signs, license plates, just know English spoken but why not bother with location when paintings about landscapes. Don't care about lousy annoying viewers I guess.
Awful
