I love the creations of Dirk Lejeune. The gallery at the visitors centre at the Australian National Botanical Gardens is decorated this week with timber shaped into trees and various natural and abstract patterns. Lejeune uses sawn branches of many types of timber that he lays at various angles and in patterns with a timber like backgrounds.
They are beautiful, they are intriguing and they display a creativity and clever use of wood to bring about some wonderful images. Pictures and gallery materials are below.

The Tuggeranong Arts Centre is hosting the exhibition of the Finalists in the Empire Global Art Award. The works are varied and demonstrate a delightful creativity in choice and types of art included. The subject material reflects the Centre’s 2017 year focus on animals. The artists have taken interesting approaches to their topics including animals in groups and parts and in lots locations.
I have included a set of pictures below to illustrate the range on show along with some gallery ephemera..
Albert Namatjira prints were on the walls of several of my relatives homes during my childhood. His takes on the Australian bush shaped my sense of what the bush looked like. The National Gallery has a great exhibition of maybe 50 classic examples of the artist’s paintings of the centre of Australia. It is a real treat to see all these great works together.
Sample pictures are below
