Colour can express emotions and moods. We asked feature
artist Lahiri about the colour she uses in her art.
1. What is your favourite colourful place? Can you draw it?
It has to be GoMA (Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art). I painted
myself sitting on all the colourful beanbags. It is a great place to
visit and you see so much art and colour there.
2. Which colours would you use to draw yourself? Why?
I chose two colours to draw this self portrait. I chose blue because 1. 3.
it is a calm colour and that is how I feel when I make art... And I
chose purple because it is the colour of my favourite flowers.
3. How do you use colour to express your energy?
All the colours I chose to use in this paper collage express my
energy when I am making art. Making art is also a relaxing thing
to do; it is expressive.
4. If you were an animal, what would you be? What colours
would you be?
One of my favourite animals is a butterfly. I chose to do a self
portrait of myself as a butterfly because I love the way the wings
reflect the colour and the light at the same time. It looks like
velvet. I used thick black lines in the wings because that means it
is a female butterfly and the black lines are the butterfly’s defence
to scare away predators.

TQP ART GALLERY
We all see the world and its colours differently, through our own eyes.
Therefore we all describe, express and interpret this world as unique
individuals. There is a certain magic that unfolds when we make art to create
and express something. This magic helps us to grow and discover new things.
Through art, we realise that we are all connected somehow. Art is a language
without words that we can all understand, no matter where in the world we are
from (1).
The Queensland Pineapple Art Gallery is here to appreciate and celebrate the
artistic achievements of artists aged 1 - 13 years of age. Art allows us to marvel
at the magic of being creative. We see how our friends and families are
wonderfully unique and different through their artistic expression. This gallery
provides an opportunity for children to share and author their artistic visions
and creations (2).
Let’s kick this exhibition off with some serious yellow for colour... Luella’s
painting of The Queensland Pineapple.... Here we gooooooooooooooooo!!
“I painted this pineapple because they are a happy, bright-yellow fruit and
there are so many pineapples in Queensland.”
