Mason Williams
OPENING Saturday 8th August
Mason Williams current exhibition of artwork is a culmination of the last five years with works on paper, cards and digital prints, acrylic and oil paintings large and small in which he continues to express his connection with the Australian landscape and takes strong influence from indigenous art and modernist painters. Mason has been painting for over 20 years and feels his work is just beginning. "The work is direct in its method using strong colors and graphic composition which combine delicacy with impact and has a refreshingly, unpretentious style. A quiet force to be enjoyed".
Exhibition dates August 8th to 23rd, Saturdays & Sundays,10 to 4, at the WCC
