Between Sun and Sea celebrates the vibrant spirit of Australian summers through the lens of one of the country’s most acclaimed photographers, Narelle Autio. Drawn from the RACV Art Collection, these works are a much-loved tribute to leisure, light, and the irresistible pull of water. While we may feel far from the crisp blue waves, Autio’s images transport us instantly to holidays by the shore — moments of freedom, play, and immersion in nature.

This exhibition delves into the dynamic interplay of colour, shape, and composition through works from the RACV Art Collection. Art often invites us to look beyond representation and focus on the visual language artists use to evoke emotion, rhythm, and harmony. By examining how colours interact, how shapes balance or disrupt, and how compositions guide the eye, we uncover the principles that make artworks resonate.

Ballarat based photographer Kathy Muhlhan fuses iconic Lake Wendouree and its Botanical Gardens with Dahlias, summers showstopping bloom. In the Victorian Era, when floriography (the language of flowers) was all the rage, dahlias were given as symbols of devotion, love, beauty and dignity. Kathy highlights these qualities of the Lake and Gardens and instils the romance of time passing by using double exposures. This exhibition is part of the Open Program, Ballarat International Foto Biennale 2025.
