TWO EXHIBITIONS

Exhibition 1

Neil Taylor
Recent Paintings

15th November - 11th December, 2003

Gateway, Acrylic on Canvas, 76 x 122cm

After returning from a successful show in California, Neil Taylors' exhibition of Recent Paintings reflects the talent and ambience of a world-class artist. The focus for Neil's new exhibition of paintings is the ocean – where we see an intricate balance between the high energy of strong compositions and the tranquillity of mood, a place where the only movement is the slow swirling of water around the rocks of a contemplative tidal pool and the creeping of shadows onto the rich golden light of a desolate beach. Neil's loyal fascination with time, space and colour has now emanated into a sophisticated marriage of minimalism and movement.

Victory of Innocence, Oil on Canvas, 90 x 130cm

Ernesto Arrisueno's Modern Realist paintings executed with meticulously detail in a realistic controlled expression , always provide a popular exhibition. The crisp reality of Ernestos' works creates an air of mystical calm, a world of still waters, a myriad of flowers and isolated enigmatic figures. His work blends memories of his early years in the dry barren landscape of Peru with the new visions and traditions of his life in Australia .
