Lemon Hill Gallery has announced their latest exhibition will be Spectrum by local artist Anthony Marshall.
“Anthony exhibited here two years ago and the gallery welcomes him back with a body of brand new work,” gallery owner Elizabeth Blakeman said.
Anthony has been an artist for more than 40 years and has had a long association with the art world, having had a framing and art supply business and gallery for 20 years in Wollongong and being involved as both teacher and student in the art scene there, in Lakes Entrance, Lake Tyers Beach
and Bairnsdale.
He has been a regular attendee at the opening of monthly exhibitions at Lemon Hill Gallery.
“Anthony knows his stuff and supports the art world,” Elizabeth said.
“His early work was largely in watercolours, but he has recently spread his wings and has explored different ways in which ideas can be explored in art. This exhibition is the result of those many ideas and techniques, a veritable ‘spectrum’ of possibilities.”
There will be works “inspired by Australian landscapes, by the play of light on the marine environment, the built environment, the discarded, floral studies and more abstract themes” to use his own words. There will be watercolours, oils and assemblages.
“This is a highly commended exhibition on several grounds. Firstly, of course, the art works themselves are fine and worth seeing. But secondly this can be a tribute to Anthony, who has supported art and artists over the years, both in Wairewa and elsewhere,” Elizabeth said.
Also, this is the last time The Saxy Beats will play at the opening of
an exhibition.
Elizabeth thanked saxophonist, Bernie Rossi, for five years of free monthly jazz, chosen to suit the exhibition each time. A rare musical gift.
Elizabeth also has made a significant announcement in that this will be the penultimate exhibition at Lemon
Hill Gallery. It will close permanently at the end of November, marking the end of a significant and remarkable five-year project.
