Frank Hooke
Anthony Rofe
The Bowral Art Gallery are excited to welcome back award winning artists Anthony Rofe and Frank Hooke for their 2nd exhibition called "Diversions and Realities" The title chosen for the exhibition reflects their diverse range of landscapes and still life works both abstract and realistic.
Anthony uses imaginative colour combinations, exploring shapes and patterns in his still life and landscape paintings. Some objects are distorted to compliment the background patterns. The paring back of detail allows for a more abstracted image focusing on his use of the elements, colour and shape.
Frank's work is more representational with landscapes influenced locally as well as overseas. Many of these have evolved from a diverse range of 16 smaller works. He has also recently expanded his oeuvre into a group of abstract works which also reflects his love of colour.
The official opening is on the 12th July at 6pm.
Everyone welcome

Del Cooley
A Time to Dance by Caroline Deeble
Following a successful exhibition in Canberra Del Cooley and Caroline Deeble are exhibiting their highly sought after paintings in the Highlands. Both artists are inspired by the landscape, nature and environments.
Caroline is an internationally recognized watercolour artist who has recently returned from Europe where she participated and represented Australia in workshops and most recently invited to exhibit alongside international artists for the Buddhism & Multicultural Art Symposium, Art Gallery of NSW.
Del is a local well established oil painter whose atmospheric works are prized for capturing the mood and beauty of the Southern Highlands. In this exhibition Del has included some paintings inspired by her recent trip to Japan. She is known for her large canvases that immerse you in their world, some might say an alternative to “forest bathing”.
Both artists share a joy of colour, texture and expressive contemporary interpretations.
Opening 19th July at 5.30pm. Everyone welcome.
