Gallery 126 Exhibition12 Oct 2019
Exhibition - Ends of the Earth (New England to Iceland) Christine Pratt - The paintings and drawings for this exhibition have been developed over three years after two trips to Iceland. The Icelandic landscape is deeply impressive; it is stripped bare of vegetation, with the land and rock forms created through enormous power and cathartic activity. The colours are also reduced to strong darks and lights, so the palette is limited. Frank Howard - Australia has a great history of landscape painting - a continuing search for what Australia is. In following the great Australian tradition of landscape painting, Frank tries to interpret the idea of the New England landscape and ski3es in its various forms (farm land, gorge country, forest etc.) balancing space and shape in harmony. VENUE: Gallery 126, 126 Jessie Street. TIME: 8.30am-5.30pm (Tuesday-Friday), 9.00am-1.00pm (Saturday). For more information, phone 02 6771 1859.
