Year of Work: 2016

Location: 120 Vincent Street, Beverley

Provenance: Shire of Beverley

Description: Beverley Station Gallery and Platform Theatre is a multi-purpose cultural precinct in the centre of the Beverley townsite.

It was built in 1886 in Victorian Tudor style. Originally the Railway Station was a hub of activity when Beverley was an important stop on the Perth to Albany passenger line.

Closed in October 1984, the Railway Station fell into disrepair, but after much hard work by both the community and council it was beautifully restored in 2006.

In 2007, the Beverley Railway Station was the winner of the Heritage Council of Western Australia award for Conservation of a Place on the State Register of Heritage Places.

The Station now displays the Shire of Beverley Art Collection and you can also buy artwork or talk with an artist in residence. Venture beyond the gallery to the Platform Theatre and see the amazing amphitheatre and stage, where many events are held.

Untitled - Armadale Central Shopping Centre

Image source Bewley Shaylor

Artist: Matt Adnate

Asset Type: Mural

Year of Work: Unknown

Location: Armadale Central Shopping Centre, Memorial Park, Armadale

Provenance: City of Armadale

Description: Matt Adnate is an artist who realises his portraits in spray paint. He has moved past his roots in street art, utilising the medium to carry his realist style into the fine art realm. Heavily influenced by the chiaroscuro of Renaissance painters like Caravaggio, Adnate embraces portraiture like the masters of the 17th Century.

Elevating graffiti art above the level of letter writing, Adnate’s subject matter and their subsequent status often belies the intent of his portraits. His works are often cropped by evocative slices of vibrant colour, channelling a presence of character, much like a still life uses its background as a setting for detail and showing fine brushstrokes. Adnate’s realism is highlighted by the use of what appears careless, but is frequently calculated, blocks of vibrant colour.

Artist: Sharyn Egan

Asset Type: Mural

Year of Work: Unknown

Location: Department of Fire and Emergency Services, 234 Jull Street, Armadale

Provenance: City of Armadale

Description: Sharyn Egan is a Noongar woman who began creating art at the age of 37, which led to her enrolling in a Diploma of Fine Arts at the Claremont School of Art in Perth. She completed this course in 1998 and enrolled in the Associate Degree in Contemporary Aboriginal Art at Curtin University which she completed in 2000.

In 2001 she was awarded a Bachelor of Arts (Arts) from Curtin University. She has also been awarded a Certificate IV in Training and Education in 2011.

The themes of Sharyn’s work are informed by the experiences of her life as a Noongar woman. Sharyn works in a variety of mediums including painting, sculpture and woven forms using traditional and contemporary fibres. Her woven works include traditionally styled contemporary forms and baskets, as well as sculptural forms often based on flora and fauna that have totemic significance for the Noongar people. Her works of oils, natural ochres, resins and acrylics on canvas as well as natural fibre woven sculptures are informed by her experience growing up at New Norcia and comments upon the associated trauma, emotions and a deep sense of loss and displacement experienced by Aboriginal people.
