PHILIP TURTON - NEW WORKS - classical, realism paintings

A Classical Realism painter, Phil focuses on the slow, careful study of the subject matter as the basis of fine art education which is in stark contrast to the “quick sketch” method which dominated Western art schools in the 20th century. Many Classical Realists also avoid using photographs as reference materials for paintings, and work solely from life.

September 8 - October 8

GREG HYDE - RECENT WORKS

Greg works in various media from oils to etchings and has illustrated several children’s books. Over the years he has had one-man exhibitions in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane and regularly participates in-group exhibitions throughout Australia. He has exhibited in the Wynne and Archibald prizes and his work is represented in Australian and overseas collections. This is Greg’s fourth solo exhibition at the gallery.  His work is usually colourful and often whimsical, with a twist of pseudo intellectual aestheticism. This he hopes is vaguely relevant today
October 12 - November 4
