Iconic Paintings at the Wollombi Cultural Centre
Opening on Friday 16th July, from 5.30pm, with drinks & nibblies
Laguna artist Col Harrison is working hard to complete his series of paintings of the Newcastle BHP Steelworks.
The series of six paintings will be part of a travelling exhibition through the Hunter in 2011.
The first showing will be at Col & Jan Harrison's opening of their exhibition at the WCC.
The paintings depict the aspects of the iconic BHP Plants in early days. Very aged sepia photographs of the old BHP Plant have been respectfully reconstructed and form the basis for the paintings.
A retrospective sampling of Col & Jan's work will also be on show.
Exhibition dates: 16th -25th July, weekends only,10am-4pm.
