MIFGS: Guest Judge: Deborah Halpern

This year’s sculpture exhibition is shaping up to be one of the best.

Deborah Halpern, an internationally renowned sculptor will be judging the artwork as well as exhibiting one of her sculptures.

Deborah Halpern is one of Australia’s most celebrated sculptors, known for her wildly colourful mosaic work. Creator of many of Melbourne’s most loved public sculptures, Halpern’s works exude an innate vitality and alluring simplicity. Spontaneous in form, her creatures are painted in a style that recalls visions of Gaudi, Picasso and the playful surrealism of French sculptor Niki de Saint Phalle, yet all have become distinctly Halpernesque in their ability to delight and surprise.

 

Halpern is a multi-disciplinary artist who explores the mediums of sculpture, painting, pottery, glass blowing and printmaking. Her work can be exuberant and whimsical but is also imbued with a deep artistry. Deborah’s sculpture, Family, will be on exhibition on our site. "Family," is a celebration of these timeless bonds that define and enrich our human experience.The Sculpture Exhibition is located in the Sculpture Precinct. We will have scheduled art demonstrations. ( The schedule to be published shortly) from artists showing different aspects of creating a sculpture. The traditional lime stone carving demonstration will also be at the exhibition.

During the show, artists will be on site to explain their work and to answer any questions.
Visitors can meander through these creative spaces and interact with the artist and even some of the sculptures.

All the sculptures are for sale. We look forward to meeting at the exhibition.

The Association of Sculptors Victoria (ASV) is a not for profit association providing individual artists with the opportunity to interact with sculptors of various skill levels across a host of media. The ASV coordinates four major exhibitions annually for artists to exhibit and sell their sculptures. Through these exhibitions and other ASV activities the member artists are also exposed to influential and noted members of the art community.
