Paintings from St. Petersburg

Paintings from St. Petersburg

10 - 31 October 2008

We hold regular exhibitions of Paintings from St. Petersburg in conjunction with London dealer, John Barkes.

In this exhibition the works come directly from artists' studios in Siberia and the Crimea as well as St. Petersburg. All are professional artists and members of a Union of Artists. Many are represented in Russian museums and, since the Gorbachev reforms of the 1980s, their paintings are increasingly seen in galleries in the U.K., Europe, America and, most recently, China. Among them are many artists who trained and taught at St Petersburg's prestigious Repin Academy.

Mary Hammond

Mary Hammond
24 May - 15 June 2007 - For almost five decades Mary Hammond has observed and painted the lives of ordinary Australians. Her art is an easy mix of the personal and the political. The scenes and the characters are familiar and often make us more aware of the loneliness and sadness in many lives.

Clifford Bayliss 1912-1989

12th - 30th November 2004  -    Clifford Bayliss was born in Footscray in 1912. He attended the National Gallery School between 1931 and 1935. In December 1935 he won the Travelling Scholarship amidst a blaze of publicity. He was somewhat of a legend at the art school. According to the late Alan McCulloch, "...the NGV was the only place for young aspiring artists....the star was Clifford Bayliss who could draw like Leonardo, and was a bohemian when it was not done. Bayliss was very poor and did these beautiful drawings, and seemed destined to win the travelling scholarship, which he did." ..... Conversations with Alan McCulloch by Christopher Heathcote, Art Monthly, April 1993, no. 58, page 15   

Clifford Bayliss left Australia in 1936 and never returned but was always planning a show of his work here
