At our December session at the Gallery we joined artist Juan Ford for an artist talk exploring his art practice, which spans more than twenty years. Juan's presentation coincided with his major survey exhibition Juan Ford: A Survey at the Bennett Gallery from 8th November 2024 to 26 January 2025.
Begin the new U3A year by joining us on Monday 3 February 2025 between 10 and 11 am when "Benalla Art Gallery welcomes esteemed artist Ron Robertson-Swann who will present a talk about his practice for the first First Mondays session of the year. Robertson-Swann’s exhibition, Illusion and Gravity: 1960s and 70s painting and sculpture from the artist’s collection, is currently on display in the Simpson Gallery.
Robertson-Swann’s most controversial and famous sculpture Vault – known as the Yellow Peril – was commissioned for Melbourne City Square in 1980 before being, as Ron puts it, banished. Vault now lives happily on the forecourt of the Australian Centre of Contemporary Art in Southbank, Melbourne." (Benalla Art Gallery Website)
