✨Congratulations to Charlotte Simmons who has been awarded the Act Belong Commit People's Choice Award for her work titled 'Echoes of Choeung Ek'. ✨ Simmons says of her work, "My artwork highlights Cambodia’s contemporary history involving the Khmer Rouge regime. The woman, whilst having experienced the genocide of her people, acts as a motif of hope. I have incorporated Khmer writing and mixed media in the background to create a murky textural surface to represent the largest killing field in Cambodia, Choeung Ek. It acts as a subtle reminder that power can decay human morality and that such atrocities can happen in our lifetime." You can view the work in The West Australian Pulse until this Sunday 24 July. Congratulations Charlotte! The People's Choice Award is supported by Healthway and Act Belong Commit. Together, we believe art connects us to ourselves, each other, and the world. #ActBelongCommit #TheWestAustralianPulse #mentallyhealthy @actbelongcommit @thewestaustralian --- Artwork: Charlotte Simmons, Melville Senior High School.

Cats always have a way of making themselves at home. 🐈 For cross-media artist @bruno_booth_ these feline friends are used to highlight how humans relate to artwork and formal public spaces like galleries and museums. Sometimes it's with ease, other times with a sense of awkwardness, inferiority or unequal accessibility. And Booth would know: as an artist whose practice addresses the challenges and possibilities of negotiating the world from a wheelchair, he has a skill for illuminating the cultural and physical relationships. In 'Feline good, HBU?' Booth's technicolour family of 34 laser-cut and powder coated cats 🐈‍⬛ 🐈will pop up in unlikely locations throughout AGWA. While exhibiting familiar cat-like postures (sleeping, reaching, slinking), they pose questions about the ways that cultural institutions influence who sees their work and how. See them when The View From Here opens at AGWA on 6 November! #AGWATheViewFromHere #ArtGalleryWA #AGWA https://bit.ly/2Z3FDdw From the series Feline good, HBU? 2021.

"I'd never consider myself an activist or anything like that; I'm just an artist with an opinion." - Abdul Abdullah.   Poetic, political, punchy and provocative – just a few words used to describe the work of young Perth-born artist @abdul_abdullah. Often sparking a strong emotional response in audiences (and more than a bit of controversy), Abdullah's work explores his worldview as a seventh-generation Australian Muslim who grew up in suburban Perth and now resides in Sydney. As part of 'The View From Here', we're excited to present three paintings by the five-time Archibald Prize finalist. 🙌 See Abdullah's work when 'The View From Here' opens on November 6. #ArtGalleryWA #AGWA #AGWATheViewFromHere Artwork Credits: We are sweat and tears 2014 Dogs in the manger 2019 Entertainers (Kanye, Beyonce and Madonna) 2013 Needless anxieties 1 2020 Groom 1 2015 The Waltz 2020.

You've seen the new AGWA; now get ready to join us as we step into a new era for the Gallery. We're shining a bright light on Western Australian art with ''The View From Here'' - our largest-ever exhibition of Western Australian art, which opens at AGWA on 6 November 2021. Encompassing more than 230 artists and 111 major new commissions and acquisitions, ''The View From Her'' takes a unique look into the West Australian psyche – as seen through the eyes of the state's divergent artistic talent. Over the coming days, we will share brief moments of each artist who feature in the exhibition. So tune in and get a new perspective of art. You can also find out more by tapping the link in our bio. #AGWATheViewFromHere #ArtGalleryWA #AGWA #westernaustralianart https://bit.ly/3DFHWCw taken in The Art Gallery of Western Australia - AGWA by @agwapulse
