Join Benalla Art Gallery in celebrating the launch of our latest Simpson Gallery exhibition, The Mountain’s Quiet Heart. This exhibition is artist Phillip Edwards’ tribute to the majestic landscape of Mount Buffalo, east of Benalla. Through watercolour and mixed media, Phillip Edwards translates the visceral experience of exploring the Mountain at different seasons, taking viewers on a journey across the snow blanketed plateau and gullies, following the streams and lake, exploring the landscape dotted with rock formations, wildflowers, scrub, and thick bush, and looking out across a region either shrouded by mist, or basking in glorious sunshine.
Meet the artist, discuss his practice and connection to Mount Buffalo, and enjoy refreshments to begin your weekend.
