Ang Hart is the Artist in Residence at Robert’s Shark Tank in Young
between Fri 3 – Mon 20 May 2024
Time at Robert’s Shark Tank will inspire Ang to continue her research into Pop Art (including the work of Andy Warhol. She will be especially focussed on Roberts collections of Chuppa Chupps, Coca Cola and Arnott’s biscuit tin to create a series of pop art-inspired work.
While there Ang will also create a portrait of Robert and his family, incorporating images of their own handpicked special relics from the museum and emphasising the legacy that Robert and his wife have created for his son’s family and their granddaughter.
‘I am keen to include a reference to their dedication to the IGA supermarket in Young, perhaps painting their IGA nametags that form part of the Shark Tank’s display.’
Ang is also set to host a free creative workshop for community members to be inspired by the colours, shapes and objects on display at the Museum to create their own painting.
STA can’t wait for Ang to get in the Shark Tank and be inspired.
The STA Artist in Residence program is possible with support from the NSW Government through the Restart Grant program.
