Monkey Mia boys host Online Art Auction

As we move into the second half of this year, the boys are again fundraising, this time through an online art auction.

Four generously-donated artworks, will be auctioned off online over the next 10 days. The artworks come from famous Australia artists, Kim Passalaqua, Chris McClelland, David Taylor and Ida Montague.

If you are interested in bidding on any of them – please email [email protected] and advise of your Lot No. and $ bid.

If somebody over bids you then you’ll receive an email to advise of current bidding status so you can bid again if you wish. The auction will run for ten days – finishing at 8 pm on the 30th August – when winning bidders will be notified.

If you are not interested in the art auction but would still like to support the team, you can donate to their fundraiser.

Kim Passalaqua: “My life experiences are often reflected in my work and can range from country to coastal or outback scenes. Sometimes the rich bold colours of Australia are shouting out to be splashed across the canvas. The natural processes of erosion and weather create a canvas which is always changing. The colours, shapes, patterns and tones become a visual cue to create my own landscapes from these ancient surfaces. This series of paintings, Terracotta Earth, was painted in the Flinders Ranges during a field trip in 2019. My travels to different parts of the Australian outback have become an important part of my practice where I immerse myself in the landscape. On location I slow things down, to observe and search for the beauty in the environment. This immersion into the harsh beauty of the raw Australian outback creates a sense of discovery and creativity that is endless”.

Each painting is 71cm x 43cm and painted in gouache and charcoal. They are framed in timber and under glass. To be sold as a set of 3.
