Art lovers have just until Thursday, March 28, to catch Michael Ghalayini’s Exhibition, Beach and Beyond, at the Bay Gallery.
The gallery will close from March 29-April 4 for Easter and reopen on April 5 with a new exhibition by Carolyn Griffiths.
All works in the month-long Rare Earth exhibition are new and a departure in colour, technique and style from Griffiths’ normal landscapes and coloured abstracts.
“The techniques were a new challenge for me to move out of my comfort zone and create something very meaningful,” she said.
“The works were inspired by my visit to Uluru last year, so the colours definitely reflect those of the land surrounding the area owned by the Anangu people of this desert region.
“My new works reflect this spirit and the essence of rock and earth in this country.
“The land is sacred to the Anangu and I attempted to capture this spirit in my works.”
The exhibition will be open Thursday to Sunday from 10am-4pm until April 28 at the Bay Gallery, 29 Broken Bay Rd, Ettalong Beach.
