Colin Suggett: Retromoments 2

‘Retromoments 2’ reimagines Colin Suggett’s retrospective 2002-2004 touring exhibition, ‘Retromoments’, comprising of works donated by the artist with the addition of several new works.

Suggett’s works are relatable as they often replicate everyday objects and occurrences. Although based in reality, they have an underlying humour and wit and a darker note of scepticism. ‘Retromoments 2’ includes popular works such as Hawaiian Sausages and Beach, sculptures evoking the feeling of an Australian summer, with a touch of satire and humour – sausages dance in a pan to the tune of Hawaiian music, while beach figures gaze upward at the ‘sun’ – a large fluorescent light globe.
