Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to see Ron Brooks’ magnificent paintings from the childrens’ book The Dream of the Thylacine, by Margaret Wild. Brooks’ artwork is currently being exhibited in the atrium of the Hobart City Council’s Customer Service Centre, corner of Davey And Elizabeth Streets, until Friday, September 30.
Brooks paintings bring the thylacine to life as never before, as it dreams of escaping its cruel cage of “twisty wire” and “cold concrete” to find freedom in “the mouth of the river, the arms of the mountains”.
A truly stunning picture book, and a wonderful exhibition, The Dream of the Thylacine will touch the hearts of Tasmanians of all ages, and give them the rare opportunity to run with the thylacine through the forests, mountains and streams that are so quintessentially Tasmanian.
