2014 Winter Exhibition at Day Fine Art Peter’s work will be featured in the ‘2014 Winter Exhibition’ at Day Fine Art Gallery from June 13 to July 13 – 2014. Day Fine Art is celebrating its second birthday in Blackheath with their 2014 Winter Exhibition which begins on Friday, June 13. The Day family has a long involvement in the art world, with Harold Day establishing a gallery in southern England (Eastbourne) in the 1960s which his son John still runs today. Harold’s other son, Christopher Day set up his own gallery in Sydney in the 70s, his eye for high quality artworks have taken his stock into many private and public collections throughout Australia. Vince is the youngest son of Harold, along with his wife Helen, established Day Fine Art at 29 Govetts Leap Road, Blackheath. The business aims to present artworks with a historical significance and strong aesthetic appeal. “Our collections have ever-changing themes, but we have a strong representation of artworks from the Colonial and Modernist periods of Australian Art,” Vince Day said. “We also love the Mountains life and the beauty of the landscape surrounding us.” This beauty is captured by represented local artists John Caldwell and Peter H Marshall. Caldwell’s use of abstract texture to build a compositional structure is unique and visually stimulating. Marshall is a master of capturing the subtle light and the texture of the Australian Bush. His unique way of presenting the Eucalyptus tree is refreshingly different to many landscape painters today. A finalist in the 2011 Adelaide Perry Prize for drawing, his realist portraiture comprises the bulk of his oeuvre. The Gallery also specialises in original works of art by Norman and Lionel Lindsay. The feature painting for the Winter Exhibition is a large water-colour painted in the 1940s by Norman Lindsay, titled ‘The Pirates Return’. The gallery is set-up in the traditional French Salon style, making the most use of its petite, corner shop space by presenting paintings, etchings and drawings in rows from the floor to the ceiling. The Winter Exhibition runs from June 13 to July 13 on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays from 10am to 5pm or by appointment. – article from the ‘Blue Mountains Gazette’ www.dayfineart.com Info@dayfineart.com Ph: 0404 930 120 Post navigation PETER H.
