WARRREN PALMER
Kitschy Kitschy Koo
From 1971–1994, Warren Palmer was a lecturer at Kelvin Grove Teacher's Training College (now QUT) in the disciplines of ceramics, painting and life drawing. Defying classification, this survey exhibition features 4 decades of his unique sculptures.
“Palmer is a multi-faceted artist, but at least at one level he is a surrealist. He works with juxtaposition and decontextualisation. Of course I must mention that he also is a very fine and often very witty draftsman but this exhibition is of his sculpture. His sculptures are collages. The ceramics – my first link with him – is still there in places, along with commercial glassware, toys, discarded items from everyday use, assembled and decorated with maybe glaze, maybe paint, even occasionally printing techniques, and not infrequently drawing.” - Glen O’Malley

The gallery is still open to the public and staff are actively monitoring the situation.
Due to current COVID-19 restrictions of 1 person per 4sqm we need to limit the number of people per area. Each of the larges areas can safely accomodate 10 people at a time, with physical distancing.
We still have exhibitions for visitors to enjoy but will also provide more accompanying online resources to help inform enquiring minds. Information will also be posted to our usual mailing list and social media channels.
Until further notice, as a commercial private gallery we'll continue to assist remote indigenous communities and talented local artists that rely on your ongoing support to keep making art that contributes to our cultural identity and enriches us all.
We recommend following current government and professional medical advice on the issue of the pandemic itself.

The gallery has increased it’s regular schedule of cleaning and sanitising, and other provisions for visitors but cannot guarantee anything beyond current expectations.
