Daylesford Artist Peter Kirk will present an exhibition of Punch and Judy at both the Family Festa and Anni di a Bellinzona. Medium: Acrylic and oil paint, pastel and varnish on three-dimensional cardboard boxes and LED lighting. The artworks hark back to the Punch and Judy puppet shows. The theme of carnival and shadow terrors originating in the commedia dell’arte of the 17th century. Miniature cardboard stages with lighting tell the story of Punchinello and his antics (pulchinella - Italian).
