Arts Project artist and surface specialist Christian Hansen will host Choose Your Hue, a workshop in the ancient art of egg tempera painting.
Participants will witness an emulsion mixing demonstration; select and commit to a hue of their choice in the form of powder pigment, before combining the elements and embarking on their very own monochrome still life. This latest public program at Arts Project Australia is presented as part of Colour is Enough, a hue-centric exhibition curated by David Sequeira.

Contributing artists
Christian Hansen is an artist who traverses many mediums, turning poetry into paintings, processing the intensity of life through art. He ‘draws with paint’, transposing significant experiences, people, and places into symbolic surreal spiritual scenes, often through the lens of his Dutch and Romani heritage. Christian works primarily with acrylic, gouache, egg tempera, ceramics, and has recently begun exploring the world of animatronics.
He has exhibited in numerous group exhibitions and is a current member of The Northcote Penguins, an art collective formed in the Professional Practice Program at Arts Project Australia. His work is held in private collections throughout Australia.
Animal Gift is a group exhibition about how we look at animals. What do we see when we look at them? And what does that say about how we see ourselves?
