Opening Remarks by Raelene Sharp

Artist's Talk - Saturday, 17 October, 2pm.

Closing this Week: "Complementary", an exhibition of recent paintings, works on paper, papercuts, linocut prints, paper sculptures, and ceramics by Kathy FAHEY and Roma McLAUGHLIN. On view at the gallery until Saturday, 26 September, and online at  http://www.quadrantgallery.com.au/

Exhibition Highlight of the Week: Kathy FAHEY "Outback" and "Reflections" (nos 1 and 5, oil on paper, 39 x 45 cm, $490 each).

Kathy Fahey's work is concerned with a sense of 'place'. Her landscapes are depictions of places visited and remembered. This work is a personal response to the Australian landscape through colour, line, movement, and surface. The paintings are renderings of the artist sees as some of the most quintessential and powerful elements of the Australian landscape--the rich golds and yellows of parched grasslands, vast open skies, and the strange, bleached shapes of the eucalyptus trees.

Exhibition Highlight of the Week: Roma McLaughlin, "Carrington Road Skyline", "Station Street", "Town Hall" (nos 41, 44, 46, papercut, 40x40 cm each, $400 each).

"These papercuts record my observations of the rapidly changing nature of life in the Melbourne suburb in which I live.  I have seen Box Hill evolve from a mid-twentieth century suburb to a modern, vibrant city with a significant Chinese community.  This evolution continues. Construction work, apartments, offices, shops and restaurants are all part of the energy of the streets."

The exhibition is current until September 26. View the exhibition online at http://www.quadrantgallery.com.au/roma-mclaughlin.html
