'We warmly welcome you to our contemporary online art gallery. We take pride in introducing you to - or perhaps to reacquainting you with - the exceptional talents of Queensland's most sought after artists. We also feature the works of emerging and well-known aboriginal artists from the Northern Territory. Jive Art + Design is located in the heart of Noosa Heads and exhibits a tightly edited collection of contemporary paintings, aboriginal art, glass sculpture, wood sculpture and unique jewellery. While nothing can compare to viewing these pieces in person, our online gallery endeavors to share with you the sense of pleasure and excitement each of these works invoke. Jive features the very best in contemporary art across a range of styles. Complex and dramatic abstracts by the Sunshine Coasts newest success story -- Michael Whitehead; strikingly evocative works by Sharon Stone; the emotional work of Paul Colbey; Aboriginal art by Kurun Warun of the Gunditjmara tribe of South West Victoria who shares his dreamings on canvas and linen; the sensual glass art of Lucas Salton; innovative works on aluminium by David Ardley and the timeless, organic glass sculptures of reknown artist Chris Pantano. Jive is a lively space where the staff are warm, welcoming and knowledgeable and the atmosphere as laid back as you’d expect of a gallery on one of Australia's most beautiful beaches. Whether you are a devoted collector, a first-time buyer or exploring artistic styles, the bold and vibrant contemporary art works on display at Jive will lift your spirits. And if you can't visit us in person, we hope you find enjoyment, inspiration and pleasure in the talent of the artists we proudly represent in the online version of our gallery. 'Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without it'. Robert Motherwell |
