"Life is a Bowl of..." is a multi-artist collaborative conceptual art exhibition featuring a wide array of sculptural art created by 30 artists who were given the challenge to complete the phrase "Life is a bowl of..." using a 30m bowl and a set number of prims. And rise to the challange this group of immensly talented artists did! In addition to the overarching theme, the form and function of the bowl itself as a space in which to create art informed the way each artist conceived and crafted their individual art pieces. From the silly and sublime to the intensely personal and thought provoking, "Life is a Bowl of..." is a unique, exciting and fun exhibition reflecting the imaginative works of art created by a diverse group of exceptional artists from around the world (Australia, Canada, France, Holland, Japan, Korea, Poland, UK and US).
