SALON DES REALITES NOUVELLES 2013 - Parc Floral de Paris - September 2013

The Salon des Realites Nouvelles is an annual exhibition of international contemporary abstract art that began in Paris in 1946.  I was invited to exhibit for the first time in 2013.  I exhibited the 'Small Round Cube' .  Artists are also invited to send another small piece of work to hopefully sell and offset costs.

The exhibition was to be held while we were visiting Greece, and so I was able to attend the opening!

COLOURS OF IMPERFECTION - Symi Gallery, Symi, Greece - September 2013

Symi is a small Greek island in the Dodecanese where tiers of Neo-Classical houses line the harbour - Mick's father migrated from there to Australia in the late 1930's.  The Symi Gallery is housed in a traditional building halfway up the Kalistrata steps.  It is run by artist Ian Haycox and shows international contemporary art - we met Ian on our first visit to the island and he suggested that I have a show when we returned.

I took over a collection of small paintings and a number of cubes to construct a box work.  CLICK HERE for a video of the exhibition.
