Artwork from three WA artists being exhibited at Cossack takes visitors on an underwater journey

Artwork from three WA artists being exhibited at Cossack is taking visitors on an underwater journey celebrate the ocean’s beauty. The AQUATICA exhibition features paintings of coral reefscapes, marine fauna, seascapes, sculptures of marine wildlife and underwater photography. Point Samson-based artist Claudia Kraus said the exhibition brought the beauty of the underwater world to the surface. “On show at the moment is my collection of ocean-inspired pieces, which are done in acrylic and oil paints and they combine the Pilbara islands with some reefscapes at the front. I encourage everyone to come have a look and to reconnect with the ocean.” Said Exmouth photographer Sabine Zuccolo: “Living on the coastline of the Ningaloo Reef, I wanted to take photos of the whale sharks, humpback whales, manta rays and leatherback turtles and make art out of it.’’ Perth artist Carolyn Francis said the years she spent snorkelling as a child inspired her to create marine wildlife metal structures. The free exhibition is open 10am to 3pm daily until September 29.
