‘YELLOW PAINT’ is an exhibition of brightly coloured soft sculptures by Mark du Potiers – a Magandjin (Brisbane) artist with Australian, Hong Konger, and Chinese migrant heritage.
With his lived experience of dancing between multiple cultures, Mark is interested in how images, ideas, and meanings are understood across different cultural contexts. The history books don’t include varied perspectives of migration, race, culture, class, identity, and sexuality – what happens when we give space to some of these stories?
