The paintings for this exhibition had been built up over a long period of time. Sometimes several paintings have been produced and even exhibited, prior to arriving at the finished state that you see here.
This was my first exhibition at the rex livingston contemporary fine art space in Chippendale. The exhibition went well and plenty of people attended the opening night. The best feature of this gallery was its street frontage. Thousands of vehicles would have driven by the shop on the way to work and seen the exhibits clearly displayed in the front window which was only about 2 metres away from the curbside of busy abercrombie street. I always felt that commuters who got stuck in traffic jams there probably wouldn’t mind to much and would at least be distracted enough to take their mind off of the jam they were in. I’m sure that the owner picked up a lot of business from those traffic jams.
