Leeuwin Current 2.0

Showing at Cottesloe Gallery:

Warrick Palmateer channels his deep connection to the coastal landscape into his ceramic vessels. With over three and a half decades of experience, his art reflects the rugged and delicate beauty of the Indian Ocean and Southwestern Australian coastline he calls home.

Influenced by his upbringing in Western Australia, Palmateer’s work captures the interplay of light, shade and movement inherent in the littoral zone. His vessels are formed from brick clay sourced from the Perth Hills, imbuing them with a sense of place and history. Drawing from his passion for beach-combing and surfing, Palmateer employs expressive textures and intuitively rendered colours to evoke the ever-changing nature of the littoral zone.
