Central Coast artist Randa Magdi will team up with fellow artist from Sydney Lisa-Ellen Hughes to present The Bold and the Beautiful exhibition at the Red Tree Theatre in January.
The exhibition will feature an eclectic collaboration of portraits, landscapes, abstracts and photography by the two artists, who have joined forces for the first time to produce an explosion of colour and differing styles that meld together.
Magdi has exhibited internationally and has been a finalist in various art prizes.
She recently won Runner Up prize in the Acon Life in Colour art prize and the Bent Art prize.
Her art caught the attention of international galleries inviting her to exhibit in Milan, Italy, Barcelona, Spain and to take part in the Night of Contemporary 2023 in Crete, Greece.
Her vibrant art is rich in hues and patterns creating asymmetrical portraits spontaneously.
Fauvism is a strong influence in her colour palette creating uneven faces ignoring art conventions and methods.
Hughes has featured in many prestigious art prizes and last year won the OAM Nick Waterlow Highly Commended in the Macquarie Group Emerging Artist Prize.
Her art was chosen to feature in the Burwood Council hoarding project and was also included on flags displayed in the area.
Shehas also featured in an exhibition in Milan, Italy and recently won first place in the Acon Life in Colour art prize.
She is a multi-disciplined artist in painting, drawing, water colour, animation, sculpture, film and video, digital art and installation art.
Hughes has been a finalist in the Mosman art prize, Hunter Art Prize, Gallipoli Art prize and the Waverley art prize.
Both artists think outside the box and defy the norm by producing a creative process of varying work.
The exhibition takes place at The Red Tree Theatre and an Exhibition Space in Tuggerah from January 3-29.
Viewings can be made via appointment on 0401 141 222.
