The Yellow House in Macleay Street, started by the late artist Martin Sharp in the 1960s is still going strong. (I think Whispers was there at the opening night party..our father supplied the yellow paint). The latest exhibition is of some fab photos by Anna-Marÿke and is well worth seeing. The exhibition was opened by one time Sydney style meister Leo Schofield- pictured here with fellow Southern Highland's resident Glen-Marie Frost. We'll let the gallery blurb speak for itself but do get along there.
"Riding on a painting tradition that stretches back to the ancient
Egyptians, and, arguably, reaching its summit with the Dutch and Spanish
Masters in the 17th century, Anna-Marÿke celebrates life in nature
through the contemporary medium of analogue photography.
Meticulously
setting up still life compositions of flowers and produce gathered
primarily from her garden in the Southern Highlands, she also includes
found objects, birds, insects, fur and animals that finally culminate in
complex tableaux."
