Art expo ‘Loud’ at Cleland

It won’t just be the squawks of the resident birdlife making a racket at Cleland Wildlife Park over the next few months. Loud@Cleland, a solo art exhibition from emerging Australian artist Tim Merel has commenced and will be on display for the next six months.

About the Exhibition

Over 20 of Tim’s latest pieces are now on display in the Cleland gift shop. His unique "lightcut" technique, using fine art pigment on giclée metallic paper, brings each piece to life with a dynamic, mirror-like effect that resonates with viewers from all walks of life. From children to artists and engineers, Tim’s work invites each visitor to see wildlife through a deeply personal lens.

Artist's Vision

Tim describes his work as "loud without forcing any preconceived messages," allowing each viewer to connect with the art in their own way. “I want people to look beyond representation,” he says. “Different folks take different meanings from the same work, and I hope this helps people think about wildlife personally.”
