Dear Friends of Despard Gallery,
The Sydney Fair Launch Reminder – OPENING TONIGHT!

Byron Kennedy Hall
Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park, Sydney
Find us at Booth # 21
Featuring Artists Geoff Dyer, Jacob Leary, Jamin, Dale Richards, Anne Morrison, Lucienne Rickard, Wayne Brookes, Jenny Orchard, Anne-France Fulgence, Andrea Morucchio and Peter Poulet.
Showcasing new work by Geoff Dyer, one of the best-known Tasmanian painters, his evocative expressionist landscapes capture the raw Tasmanian environment in all its changing moods. Inspiring young artist Jacob Leary recently came to national attention after winning the 2012 VISCOPY John Frieze Memorial Prize, on show will be his incredibly intriguing digital montages. The political stencil artist Jamin has been represented in numerous national collections, and was recently involved in completing the interior art for the new MONA ferry with a combination of multi-stencils and street mural works. Artist and Teacher Wayne Brookes is the Tasmanian master of sumptuous Baroque ornamental scenery and décor, his highly detailed paintings transcribe a strong European influence and fascination with drapery and ornamentation. Anne Morrison’s superb abstracted paintings, her subject mater deriving originally from nature creates multi layered and complex imagery. Her works are represented in numerous collections nationally and internationally. Emerging artist Lucienne Rickard recently set the Hobart art scene buzzing with her powerful drawings of Spanish fighting bulls. Rickard uses labour-intensive drawing processes giving the images a striking stitch-like quality. Her recent debut exhibition at Despard Gallery was a sell-out.
Open daily from Fri 14th – Sun 16th June
