The Star, Gold Coast

Commission for Foyer of The Star, Gold Coast, 2017

In 2017, The Star Gold Coast commissioned Nicola Newman to create a large-scale painting for the foyer of their new building. The work measures 3 x 12 metres and was created in panels in her rented studio in Marickville, Sydney, before being shipped to the Gold Coast for installation.

This project allowed Nicola to work at a monumental scale, exploring coastal atmospheres and luminous colour across an expansive surface.
