Marian Drew
Still Life - Every Living Thing

By imitating the historic painted forms o the "Still Life", but replacing paint with photographic verisimilitude, and familiar European animals with Australian native species, a discord is exposed.

This work aims to overlay the historical and the present, the European with the antipodean and photography with painting, while exploring contemporary notions of death and a changing relationship to animals.

2nd April - 23rd April

Rick Amor
This exhibition of recent paintings, watercolours, drawings and limited edition graphics by Rick Amor, tough, monumental and skillfully rendered, will show the full lexicon of his obsessions and loves, the transient nature of man's creation, his isolation, the surreal beauty of the urban, sea and rual landscape.
