Gallery Two had the incredibly beautiful With One Stroke, an exhibition of work by the International Chinese Calligraphy and Brush Painters Society. Their ink is made from the soot of pine trees, and fashioned into these beautiful images.
The essence of this art is that it is non-representational but must contain the essence or 'soul' of the subject.

The regional galleries are so interesting. I'm hoping to get back to Bendigo sometime soon to see both the travelling exhibitions on there at the moment: one from the V&A on underwear and another from the British Museum on the ancient Greeks. And the home collection there is itself excellent.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wide variety of interesting exhibits! Thanks for sharing...and here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing some of the beauty you saw at this exhibition. The "With One Stroke" creations especially appealed to me, and so did the photography of Lake Eyre. Amazing art.

I would love to see this!
ReplyDeleteWhat interesting exhibitions. The first one looks great fun, and the photos in the last one are surreal.
ReplyDeleteWOW! All I can say is WOW! Thanks for sharing these amazing exhibits.
ReplyDeleteThe Bathurst Art Gallery often hosts incredible exhibitions too. I often go with my mum when we have a w/e visit.
ReplyDeleteI loved the calligraphy pics (but that is one of my areas of passion/interest).
The best bit though was spotting a friend's name in the humour section - Mike Foxall is good friend's with my sister & BIL. His wife is also an artist.
I love the way regional galleries are so active. I remember as a child how they were dead... the same paintings hanging in the same positions for years. The Gallery in Bathurst in the late 60's / early 70's was near the Library in the Council chambers. I used to borrow a book and go up to the library and sit and read for a half hour or so... isolated, silent,
ReplyDeletealone... no more. It's a good thing.
