Old mates, painter John Anrep and photographer Bob Gilpin are again taking centre stage, this time with artist Jill Pung Clifford at the Louis Joel Arts and Community Centre.
The trio will host the Here and There exhibition, following on from the Journey Across the Bay’s exhibition from Anrep and Gilpin last year.
The exhibition explores our relationship with a sense of place, through comparison and contrast, in scale and medium. This exhibition will take you from familiar and meaningful images, to a sense of wonderment for images of the world we only dream of seeing.
Anrep’s experience of his first exhibition was an overwhelmingly positive one and as a result he is getting ready to do it again.
In his mid-fifties Anrep suffered a stroke which ended his previous career of working as a chef. This led to him to turn to other pursuits and ultimately, painting.
Gilpin is from Scotland, but migrated to Australia with his parents and siblings, they then settled and lived in Altona.
After leaving the corporate life he bought a camera and learnt how to take photos, leading to his love for photography.
Pung Clifford describes Australia as becoming the canvas on which she could explore a spectrum of passions after moving from Malaysia.
She hopes that through her art she hopes to inspire others to embrace life fully and describes her journey as one of determination, reinvention and courage.
The Here and There exhibition begins on Saturday, July 19, with a launch event starting at 4pm, and runs until Wednesday, August 6.
The exhibition is free and will be open during regular Louis Joel Gallery opening times.
