FIVE ARTISTS FROM THE NSW SOUTH COAST
KEN TABER, MAYNARD WATERS, JOHN SHARMAN, GRACE PALEG and IAN LAKEY

OPENING SATURDAY 14th AUGUST at 2.30pm

The NSW South Coast is a unique, almost undiscovered, and thankfully underdeveloped part of the Australian coast. This, despite bordering Australia’s biggest city, Sydney, and hosting the continents's ninth largest urban area, Wollongong. This area is a haven for the sensitive painter, author, poet, musician, surfer or environmentalist. People like artists Ken Taber, Maynard Waters, John Sharman, Grace Paleg and Ian Lakey, all residents of this fragile coastal region, reduce this natural beauty to their two-dimensional canvas, board and paper for this exhibition.

Morning StormKEN TABER

He lives and works from his Garden Studios near Mogo on the NSW South Coast where the natural surroundings provide inspiration for his romantic morning beach scenes and misty backwater impressions.

This week we would like to highlight a VIP client who recently purchased a number of Masayuki Ogura , fine laquerware pieces at Bungendore Wood Works Gallery. Masayuki, together with his family and a number of frends, came from Japan to take part in our Mingei Exhibition in June/July 2009.
The couple from South Australia had originally heard of us through a customer that dined at their vineyard... heard it through the grapevine, you might say.
Their first trip out to the Gallery last year involved hiring a taxi for the morning and spending the day browsing the shops in Bungendore Village. Keeping us in mind for a number of special gifts, the couple recently visited us again.
Thank you to all our loyal customers that continue to enjoy our fine crafted items and visual arts.

Chan DissanayakeCHAN DISSANAYAKE was born in Sri Lanka to an artistic family, his father an internationally acclaimed film director and his mother an art teacher. He migrated with his family to Australia in 1986. A talent for drawing was recognised in pre-school days and a passion for art, especially for watercolours, kept him actively involved in it. He studied watercolour paining with renowned Australian artists embarking on a journey of self-discovery.

Achieving rapid success, he was a guest artist at this year’s Canberra Times Outdoor Art Show, was awarded first prize at the 2010 Royal Canberra Show in the portrait and figure section and has been invited as a tutor for the 2011 Summer Art Experience by the Artists Society of Canberra.

David Pereira playing at the opening of Hot Colours and Cool WatersDavid Pereira is an accomplished Australian cello performer, teacher, writer, recording artist and prominent musician on both the national and international scene. Widely experienced, he continues to evolve as a player, teacher, composer and writer. His playing aims for perfect listening and emotional responsiveness, uncompromised by thought or technical limitation. He is currently director of Australia’s only cello focused subscription series of recitals.

David opened the Judi Power Thomson HOT COLOURS and Chan Dissanayake COOL WATERS exhibitions at 11am on Saturday October 2 with a improvised solo performance addressing one each of Judi and Chan's artworks inviting those present to follow him on a journey of musical exploration of the works. The large crowd attending the opening were spellbound by the beautiful sounds of David's cello that resonated in the Octagon Artspace to provide such a wonderful experience. Of the space David said, "I'm inspired by upstairs . . . very intimate and real." Negotiations are under way for a candlelit concert performance before the end of the year.
