At ‘First Monday’ in early March we listened to a printmaker explain his craft. Bill Young, who has been a printmaker for several decades, has worked with several distinguished artists and etchers. Bill transforms what is already a work of art - a drawing etched on a piece of metal or some such item - into a print which displays its artistic merit.
Due to Monday 1st April being Easter Monday and a Public Holiday, the Gallery will not be holding its usual First Monday meeting.
First Monday's resume on Monday May 6th, when gallery staff will "join in conversation with Janet Leith, about her exhibition, Melancholia, showing in the Simpson Gallery. Following the loss of her father, Janet Leith used the human figure to explore her own emotional and physical world....The figures are depicted as vulnerable and stark against bold backgrounds; the large, cropped bodies, torsos and busts are de-identified through fabric wrapping of the face and body."
We hope to see you then.
