What’s on at Studio 8
Latest exhibition.
22 to 26 October · Studio 8 Currumbin
Studio 8 is delighted to present Day Dreams, the first solo exhibition from Kim Stark.
Kim’s abstract landscapes drift somewhere between memory and imagination: soft horizons, glowing pockets of colour and loose, joyful marks that suggest places you might have visited in a daydream. Each work is built slowly through layers of impulsive mark-making and brushstrokes, letting colour lead the way.
The result is a collection that feels light, playful and quietly transportive. Come and spend some time with it.
