Intriguing George Wagner exhibition to captivate art and culture fans
THE work of the late Cairns artist George Wagner is on display at Crystalbrook Bailey hotel with a launch tonight.
Crystalbrook marketing co-ordinator Svea Bark said the exhibition ‘Mothers of the Earth’ runs until May 31.
“Inspired by the vibrancy of life, dimensional texture, and international influence, Crystalbrook Bailey celebrates and remembers George Wagner through the feature artist exhibition: Mothers of the Earth,” she said.
“With your favourite wine swirling in one hand, let your mind be inspired, and your creativity be awoken as you immerse yourself into George Wagner’s artwork.
“His art resonates deeply with themes of heritage, philanthropy, and resilience, reflecting his Dutch-Indonesian roots and infusing rich cultural symbolism into his work.
“Explore the legacy of George Wagner, whose art continues to captivate to bridge cultures and generations with timeless beauty and profound storytelling.
“Daniel Westhoven beautifully describes George Wagner’s multifaceted approach to art: ‘... this is just one aspect to the man, the painter, the style: George Wagner. One reason is because there is no one style, nor one man present. It is a constantly changing surface, just as his paintings are living, dreaming, striving, and evolving. In this exhibit one can see a plethora of images and each one not quite like the next’.”
Kerstin Brown will introduce Mr Wagner’s art, heritage, and life adventures at Arte. Wine Bar at 6pm.
