Stategically timed to line up with Brisbane's Pride Festival, Art & Design Precinct's exhibition 'The Art of Pride' opened on Friday 6 September and runs until 18 September.
Featuring a variety of artworks from professional to amateur and even first-time exhibiting artists, the best way to share the breadth of the art in pictures.
Peace by Bret Moody
Originating in 1978, the rainbow flag or freedom flag has become a well-recognised symbol for Pride. Peace by Bret Moody captured the essence of the exhibition with this simple, powerful painting.
Lord Gaga by Stacey Nightingale
I was immediately struck by the play on gender in the piece Lord Gaga by Stacey Nightingale. The imagery is intriguing each time I viewed it.
Boys of Summer by Dan Webb
Boys of Summer by Dan Webb
The multiple pieces in the Boys of Summer collection by Dan Webb is accompanied by a heart-warming description of growing up surfing. The contrasts between bronzed body, golden sand, swelling sea and blue sky are just divine.
Chromo Dunny by Iain Harrison
The exhibition was proud to include Outloud Art Award Winning pieces by Iain Harrison, Chromo Dunny. Well worth spending some time with, as the object being depicted is not always immediately obvious.
Guardian I, II & III by Michelle Bowden
The Art Of Pride' exhibition runs until 18 September. Art & Design Precinct is open six days a week between 10am and 6pm (closed Mondays).
