Completely RAW for a second year running

The 2023 Completely Raw artists.

RIDING on the huge success of last year, Lion Studios is hosting their second ‘Completely RAW’ exhibition at their gallery in Taylors Beach.

This exhibition showcases some of Port Stephens local artistic talent in a ‘raw’ format – unframed and presented as the artist finished creating it – allowing the purchaser to see it as an organic artwork.

The group of artists involved have a range of styles and mediums, ranging from landscapes of the local area in soft pastels, to abstracts in acrylic paints.

Megan Barrass, a popular local artist and participant from last year’s exhibition, said, “This is an opportunity for local artists to show their works in an unframed format, allowing the collector to add their own requirements to the hanging of the piece.

“RAW provides great opportunities for art lovers to grab a quality piece of art at a fabulous price!”

Lion Studios has been a constant support for local artists since the 1970s, not only professionally framing and printing artworks, but selling and showcasing artworks in their gallery space at Taylors Beach and hosting dedicated art exhibitions by local artists.

Lion Studios are also now holding six-week ‘Learn to Paint’ workshops run by local artists.

Kim Mackenzie from Lion Studios said the exhibition is unique in Port Stephens.

“It has been designed to showcase a broad range of art styles, all in one location,” Kim said.

“We understand that for artists the costs of framing and presenting their art can be a huge burden especially
considering the current economic times. It’s the perfect opportunity to purchase some local art in its raw format and, if needed, organise the framing to suit your home all in the one location.

“What a great opportunity to organise some unique gifts for Christmas and fill those bare walls!”

Completely RAW will have an opening night on Thursday 2 November from 5pm, with the exhibition running until November 24 2023.

Lion Studios is located at Unit 7/19 Shearwater Drive, Taylors Beach.
