Gippsland Terra Aqua:
Chris Kryzanowski.
Painting: Chris’ art style is representational. He depicts events or scenes from the real world but abstracted to a degree or manipulated in some way so as to produce more intricate images.
His subject matter is largely derived from nature in the Victorian landscape.
Sculpture: The sculptural figures are representational – they are stylised forms of dancing glyphs, aesthetically pleasing, elongated shapes constructed with steel cores and resinous bodies. The finish to these works is of a metallic bronze coating. The work for this Exhibition has taken over 12 months to assemble. Chris has previously exhibited drawings and ceramics; however this is his first exhibition of paintings and sculpture.
When: March 30 - April 27.
Opening: Sunday, April 1st at 2pm.
Gallery Hours: 10am to 4pm (Closed Tuesdays).

Friday 30th March to 29th April 'CONVERSATIONS WITH THE LANDSCAPE' - TRACY LEWIS EXHIBITION
“My main inspiration is landscape, especially the diverse landscapes of where I live in Gippsland. Underlying themes to my work include the passing of time, lost knowledge, environmental concerns and the weather, but I will often just paint what I simply ‘like’ and I am continually inspired by what is in my own ‘backyard’. This exhibition highlights some of my favourite places that I love to paint but also comments on our use and abuse of the environment and its resources.”
