In February 2022, artworks by selected Studio A artists featured in the exhibition Where I'd Rather Be alongside a collection of new work by Studio A Professional Pathway recipient, Matthew Elliott. The exhibition was held at Creative Space in North Curl Curl and was paired with a painting and drawing workshop hosted by Elliott.
The exhibition highlighted the diverse artistic techniques and styles of Studio A creatives, by featuring artworks that explore relationships with natural and imagined environments. Each artist reinterpreted the existing meaning of the landscape image, by depicting elements of nature through a subjective lens.
Awarded a 12-month professional mentorship from Studio A in 2018, Matthew Elliot has developed a skilled practice in abstraction, often using watercolour and crystal pigments to reflect dream-like, subconscious realities. On the 26th of February, a workshop and meet-the-artist event was held which encouraged participants to use a loose, gestural technique to create intuitive artworks inspired by their physical and social surroundings.
