SALA Degustation Barossa 2011

Planning for the 2011 SALA Degustation Barossa is currently underway. This year's event will be held on Friday August 5 and include five Barossa wineries - Turkey Flat Vineyards, Peter Lehmann Wines, Whistler Wines, Hentley Farm and Seppeltsfield.

Here's a little taste of what you can expect...

Turkey Flat - Igora's Textile Art creations are her expression of physical, spiritual, and emotional experiences gathered from our natural surroundings, its people, their stories and their feelings.

Peter Lehmann Wines - Thom Buchanan's new body of work 'Terrain' looks at vistas from across South Australia, incorporating the beauty of the landscape and the natural environment.

Whistler Wines - Dudley's work is predominantly 3D Australian animals in corrugated iron. He joins as many as fifty layers of iron to create the desired size.

Hentley Farm - Greg Donovan's research and studio practice explores the connection between social inequality defined by space and notions of cultural displacement and its representations.

Seppeltsfield - Local artist Sabine McQueen, sculptor/multi-media using reclaimed and new mediums. Plus four artist friends; Hayley, Janys, Lynda and Charlie enjoy painting a wide range of subjects.

Ilona Glastonbury shortlisted in $5000 SALA art prize

Barossa artist Ilona Glastonbury has been chosen as a finalist in this year's Advertiser Business SA Contemporary art prize.

The winner will be announced at a special awards ceremony in Adelaide on August 10th at The Advertiser offices.

Ilona Glastonbury's new works at Kabminye Wines

"Sketch for February thunderstorm" by Ilona Glastonbury pressed tin on board

At Kabminye for SALA again this year will be the beautifully textured works of South Australian artist Ilona Glastonbury. Inspired by the Barossan landscape, Glastonbury has created a body of works using reclaimed and weathered materials that speak of home, heritage and identity. While she predominantly uses pressed tin salvaged from old homes, recent works have included the use of old cribbage boards and farm gates.

These beautiful collages, in spite of their abstract nature, allow the (very Australian) landscape stories of their materiality to be told.

Kabminye Wines to showcase totem poles

Sculpture "Number 6" by Mark Pearse

Mark Pearse is one of those artists that everyone in South Australia has heard of. Living and working in his studio at Bungala, Yankalilla, he has been painting, print making and more particularly working with clay for many years.

Kabminye is proud to have him as one of their two exhibiting artists over the SALA Festival and for the Degustation Barossa art trail. On show will be a number of his large totem poles, set against the stunning background that is the Barossa ranges.

While Craig explores a variety of themes and styles, in reference to his work he has said " I draw in paint".

Well known for his fish and text paintings his first sell out series was shown in the Barossa back in the 80's in which he depicted farmhouses and the iconic outback water tank.
