Brisbane-based artist John Bell returns with a stunning new exhibition, Springbrook and Beyond, showcasing his deep connection to the lush, untamed rainforests of South East Queensland. For years, Bell has been captivated by the tangled beauty of the hinterland, particularly the Springbrook mountain region, where he finds endless inspiration and quiet reflection.
This latest body of work is a heartfelt homage to the wild landscapes that continue to fuel his creativity. Drawing from decades of artistic practice and a rich history within Brisbane’s art community, Bell presents a mix of figurative, landscape and abstract pieces that speak to the raw vitality of the forest.
Expect vivid, contemplative paintings that capture the richness of one of Australia’s most pristine natural environments—a visual tribute to a place that remains largely untouched and deeply cherished.
