I reckon Penny would have liked to visit this art exhibition by Nicholas Gray at the Melbourne City Library.
Heres what I think would have been her favorite piece.
I liked most of the works, but particularly the shiny box in this corner
with the magnifying glass embedded in the top.
Of course I looked in. Who wouldnt? It was like looking through a kaleidoscope.
An exhibition of paintings, collages, sculpture and installation. Ive called my exhibition "Apt Experimental Art" because I have no particular style. I am greatly attracted to plastic and glue but I am not recycling. Rather I have a wish to repair the broken. With the spirit of a bowerbird I am a colourist and I love rainbows, colour wheels and optics. If you spin a colour wheel it goes 50 shades of gray, like my hair. Likewise, you can mix colours opposite on the colour wheel it produces gray. I once taught tertiary art students about colour. They said they had been told nothing previously, so using optical effects I am to create enduring pictures that are a pleasure to see on a blank wall. Thats what I do. I hope you like these.
