About Art Last Night - Landscapes at King on William & Stacks.

Landscapes. I love landscapes and I love figurative landscapes. Last night even had painted landscapes on glass transferred photographically as prints. Heliographs by Idris Murphy as part of his show Drawing Breath, Works on Paper at King Street Gallery on William. Actually both landscape 'painting' shows I attended last night had a loose photographic connection. Newcomer Stacks Projects in Victoria Street Potts Point/Kings Cross is on the site of the legendary former Graces Camera shop (second hand gear or just plain stolen??? no one ever seemed to know..). Idris's show was opened by Max Cullen who gave a memorable speech about the area the paintings are from and Aboriginal heritage of the land, visions of the land, landscapes.. Michelle Hungerford's exhibition is a highly figurative and colourful exhibition of works on paper. Both shows are on NOW and within walking distance of one another. Links below.
