SUMMARY:ART EXHIBITION – Opacity – FT. Kels Watkins
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition explores coexistence through overlapping spaces and perspectives\, imagining a transparent world where lives intersect simultaneously\, revealing the transient rhythms that connect human experience. \nWe traverse time in the same instant – the present. It’s a shared experience\, but everyone lives and processes it in different ways. We’re living in a simultaneous world\, from a singular perspective. What if we could turn down the opacity around us and see through buildings\, witnessing the complexities of coexistence? ‘Opacity – Living in Layers’\, imagines this world\, where spaces and faces fold through one another\, celebrating the transient rhythms that connect our perspectives. \nOpening event: Wednesday 3rd June 2026\, doors open 5\,30pm\, entry is free with RSVP. \nKels Watkins is a Central Coast based artist\, working primarily in oil on canvas. Her work is characterised by layered\, surreal genre scenes\, accompanied by strong palettes.

Leo Sayer\, Lisa Simone\, and Andrae Crouch are just some of the many names he has worked with throughout his career. \n• Glenn Wilson – Drums\nA consummate professional\, both in technique and feel\, whose credits include Wendy Matthews\, Lee Kernaghan\, and Glenn Shorrock. Glenn provides the rhythmic sophistication essential to bringing these intricate songs to life. \n• Cesar Marin – Bass & Bv’s\nA world music specialist\, originally hailing from Chile\, Cesar is a master of the Chirango and many other traditional South American instruments.

Jason adds a distinctive and sophisticated voice to the ensemble and a joyous energy on stage. \nTogether\, this remarkable group guides the audience on an evocative journey through Sting’s most treasured works—Englishman in New York\, Fragile\, Fields of Gold\, If You Love Somebody Set Them Free\, Seven Days\, Shape of My Heart\, If I Ever Lose My Faith in You\, and many more—beautifully woven together with storytelling\, artistry\, warmth and moments of gentle humour. \nRevitalised after a multi-year hiatus and elevated by its outstanding new line-up\, Bring On The Night-The Music Of Sting promises a night of heart\, sophistication\, and superb musicianship—an unforgettable celebration of Sting’s enduring legacy.
