SALA Festival 2017 Exhibition
2017 08 01 - 2017 08 31: The Nature Tour Exhibition
As part of the SALA Festival 2017, artworks by Wendy Sysouphat were on display in an exhibition entitled The Nature Tour at Angas Travel, Adelaide, from Tuesday 1st August to Thursday 31st August 2017.
Included were watercolour and ink paintings, oil paintings, a variety of drawings, some textile artworks, and some recent computer graphics drawings. As well as original artworks and fine art prints there was a slide show of many of my works going back to about 1990 like an 'art retrospective'.
The artworks were inspired and informed by life experiences such as the glorious colours and enchanting fragrances of flowers and plants, the elegance and power of nature, the diversity and intricacies of landscapes, and the elusive and indefinable feeling of 'joie de vivre'.
Above is the exhibition Flyer, and the second photo shows artworks entitled Butterfly Skies IX-XII 2017 that were displayed at the exhibition.
Many thanks to all those who supported this endeavour.

2013 Fibreline magazine, Issue 151 March 2013
The textile artwork pictured above, entitled Forest Flight II 1999 (see details on my Textile Artworks page), was published in ATASDA's Fibreline magazine, Issue 151 March 2013. This artwork shows three dragonflies with shining, whirring wings on a high-speed flight through the forest. Particular attention is given to the patterning on these dragonflies, including the fantastically intricate venation of their wings. The forest is suggested by a few subtle leaves and vines, and by the slightly textured background fabric.

2013 The Largest Turner Ever
On 24 February, 2013, I painted three panels as a participant in this community art project, which was part of the Turner From The Tate - The Making of a Master exhibition at the Art Gallery of South Australia during Feb to May 2013. The completed 81-panel artwork, pictured above, was created by numerous community participants and measured 2.9 m x 3.6 m in size. It was inspired by one of the AGSA's own J.M.W. Turner paintings, Scarborough town and castle: morning: boys catching crabs, a watercolour that was painted in
c. 1810.

2012: Adelaide Festival Visual Arts Program: The Big Draw
I drew seven panels as a participant in The Big Draw community art project, which was part of the 2012 Adelaide Festival Visual Arts Program at the Art Gallery of South Australia during Mar and April 2012. This 66-panel charcoal drawing, pictured above in part while in progress, was created by numerous community participants.
