Kingaroy Art Gallery’s latest exhibition – a double showing of landscapes and women – will be open for viewing from Tuesday (September 1) at the gallery in Haly Street.
The exhibition, “You Will Never Understand”, features a series of landscapes and charcoals by Brisbane artist Noel Miller.
It is a reflection of a line in the iconic poem “My County” by Dorothea Mackellar:
An opal-hearted country,
A wilful, lavish land –
All you who have not loved her,
You will not understand –
Though earth holds many splendours,
Wherever I may die,
I know to what brown country
My homing thoughts will fly.
Miller is taking over Gallery One and Gallery Three plus the corridor for his exhibition of desert and Antarctic landscapes, and urbane women.
The exhibition will run from September 1 to October.
The official opening night is Friday, September 11, from 6:00pm to 9:00pm at the Gallery.
Organisers say this is the first time the artist has allowed his mixed media landscapes and his charcoal and pastel collages to be hung in the same exhibition.
