A large and docile lion welcomes visitors to the 2013/14 Earl Street Journal exhibition (Hannah Kidd’s Domestic Bliss). The accompanying selection of glass and bronze pieces from Ann Robinson, Christine Cathie, and Paul Dibble combine abstracted form and the figurative and play with ideas of movement, solidity, and empty space.

This sense of contrast is continued on the walls which feature hyper-realist landscapes from Justin Boroughs, Bruce Hunt, and Michael Hight, the glitter-paintings of Reuben Paterson, and the almost-human communities of Andy Leleisi’uao. Delicate works from master printmaker and painter Stanley Palmer evoke a sense of wistful nostalgia, and the atmospheric, layered brushwork of Garry Currin invites considered viewing.
