The third annual Sydney Architecture Festival will be held on Monday 5 October 2009
The annual Sydney Architecture Festival celebrates the city's architecture and aims to engage the public in exploring aspects in the built environment.
The Festival is presented by the Australian Architecture Association, the Australian Institute of Architects NSW Chapter and the NSW Architects Registration Board.
The 2009 Sydney Architecture Festival is focussed on Circular Quay - the Gateway to Sydney. It will be held on Monday 5 October, World Architecture Day and Habitat Day. The Festival will feature architectural tours of the city; activities at the World Heritage listed Sydney Opera House; talks, exhibitions and kids activities at Customs House; and much more
One of Australia’s most collectable abstract landscape artists, Gemma Lynch-Memory, celebrates her 21st solo exhibition titled Big Country exclusively with Luxury Home Design.
For 2009 Gemma has created an exciting new collection of works that will become her celebrated 21st solo exhibition, titled Big Country. The exhibition features her trademark colour chords and expressive horizons and the works are large, bold and confident. Her RMB 1026 (Roadside Mail Box) is reminiscent of a drive-by snapshot of the quintessential country letter box. Painted with pallet knife in thick impasto chunks, the letter boxes stand boldly within the stark landscape. The “River” series has deep brooding rivers stretching along dense tree-lined river banks as they make their way to the coast. The “Muddy Waterholes” glisten with the offering of a cool oasis in harsh red brown lands and her “Waterlilies” and “Wildflower” works have proven irresistible to the buying public.
Gemma has already achieved much in her career. With a constant demand for work from collectors both in Australia and overseas she has had little respite. Prices for her work have increased greatly in the last decade and this demand and a slower output of work will continue to drive prices higher. Those looking to invest and purchase significant artwork for their home would do well to take note of this current exhibition.
To achieve a 21st solo exhibition for any artist is a true milestone and a testament to creative strength. Gemma Lynch-Memory’s Big Country exhibition marks the exciting beginning of the second chapter of this remarkable career.
