Bienvenido is the first solo exhibition by Mornington Peninsula-based emerging artist Joshua Searle (b. 1998, Australian/Colombian) to be held in a major public gallery. Searle’s work explores his Colombian heritage and diasporic identity as well as broader socio-cultural issues in Australia today. Searle is primarily a painter but also works across sculpture, contemporary jewellery, glass and printmaking – and now, ceramics.
