Keith Rowe Gallery in BlackheathWe have opened our Gallery in Blackheath. All glass works are by four of us from Keith Rowe Glass Studio. The purpose of the Gallery is to be unique and high quarity works.Also we have some other artists who creates unique and high quality art works. 
Richard Walker who is a fine art photographer, specializes in two areas: recording the work of artists and craftspeople; and producing unique portraits of flowers. The challenge of capturing the detail of an artists work is what motivates Richard. Richard utilizes either digital or film technology to produce high quality results. Studio portraits of flowers are his personal passion. A special technique called **light painting** is used to capture the detail in these floral portraits. Essentially, Richard exposes individual flowers using a small handheld spotlight. In a series of time exposures, he slowly builds the final image on a single frame of film. The process requires patience and precision but the results are exciting and unique. To produce quality enlargements, Richard photographs with a medium format film camera. Prints are produced in limited editions. 
Greg Ash is the jeweller who loves Dichroic glass. His recent works are in many different size, colours and forms. Nicholas Broughton from Gold Coast, a robust, clever and dedicated artists is a self-confesses addic to the canvas. He is obsessive about his particular discipline and considers a day without painting to be complete. He was born in Mali, then he moved to Brighton in England and from there to Bankok, Thailand, where he spent years of his life absorbin the colours. Nicholas Broughton's inimitable tattooed contour lines, clarity of idea and image and distinctive sense of colour attest to his daring individual stance in making powerful impassioned statements. John Moran is the musician and the painter who has The John Moran Corperation. 
His deep three demensinal oil painting are always on the centre of peoples attention. His painting always corporate with his music. John decided to venture into a style of sounds that, as a painter, liked to listen to in the studio. He couldnt quite crack up to the front man of a live band so Nightshade was a great vehicle and exercise to developed skills in recording, listening, and thinking outside what we as individuals play. He hopes that being self objective and the end result what you would want to listen to. He says that in the end, like painting, the ultimate nod of approval should be your own and as long as you have applied 100%, and your chuffed with the result, then thats good enough for the man, and having a lot of fun along the way. His high quarity oil painting and music CDs are on the show at Gallery now. Also we have a stone sculpture made by Mark Murnane who lives in Blackheath.

He said that he has always created and painted dream imagery. For a long time he has kept dream journals and he has always had very vivid dreams. It is as though he is living two lives. His unique sculpture will catch peoples eye. Sara Wade from Coffs Harbour, her paintings are on sale. She said "I work with mixed media and collage on paper, acrylic and oil paint. My art explores a contemporary interpretation of the north coast landscape, and the figure within the landscape, focusing on the abstract, the emotive and the design elements. I have lived and worked on the mid north coast for twenty years and continue exploring interiors, every day subjects and relationships with environments." |
