A copy of the Japanese Peace Bell at the UN in New York It's made from melted coins and weighs 477kg! |
We went to Cowra Regional Art Gallery for the first time. It's a small gallery, 3 modest rooms, but they usually have really cool exhibitions on. When we visited they were showing the finalist paintings from the Calleen Art Award and the Central West Regional Art Awards. There was some really interesting stuff.
Matthew Quick - Coronation Highly Commended- Calleen Art Award |
Georgina Pollard - miss-tint II (2014) Highly Commended- Calleen Art Award |
Liz Cuming - Kimberly Amazing (2014) |
Genevieve Carroll - Over the Table Blue Dandelions (2014) Winner Central West Regional Art Award |
Naomi White - End of Day (2014) Winner Calleen Art Award |
Neil Taylor - Flesh from Fire (2014) |
And my absolute favourite!
Anita West - Blueberry Ash |
It was on sale (they all were). If only I had a spare $8,700 then I'd snap it up.

Cowra has changed so much from when I lived there in the 80's. I certainly don't remember an art gallery of any size!
I'm partial to Genevieve Carroll and Georgina Pollard's colourful pieces, but love the use of purple in Anita West's one too :-)
Thanks for the tour of the gallery...gorgeous art! And thanks for visiting my blog.
Love the bell... I have to Google what the weight is in pounds :)
Great pictures...the art is absolutely lovely! Thanks for sharing!

That Matthew Quick painting reusing classical imagery is amazing - thanks for sharing, as I don't think I've seen his work before.
Maybe the art will be on sale on your next visit. Or you will have the necessary $8,700.
