The journey commences in Sydney and travels along the spectacular Illawarra route to Wollongong. The journey from Sydney offers spectacular coastal scenery prior to the ascent of the Illawarra Escarpment, where you will stop at Summit Tank to experience otherwise unobtainable views of Lake Illawarra and the Tasman Sea, before continuing to Robertson or Moss Vale where you can enjoy lunch at your leisure.
The Cockatoo Run will be provided in a Covidsafe manner and an update with the latest Covidsafe requirements will be sent to you a couple of days before the tour
UN-HINGED Paintings by Mikel Kiriakos
- Saturday April 24, Mental Gallery, 347 Bong Bong Street, Bowral, 7 pm - 10 pm
Mikel is an up and coming abstract expressionist artist who explores emotion and social behaviour in works that are deeply personal.
His collection will launch at the Mental Gallery on April 24.
He is known for his expressionist style that depicts mood, emotions and social issues. His style includes figures or faces that have been distorted through exaggeration. His art is less systematic and more cognitive in it's approach which retains the element of surprise coupled with the intuition of the artist's state of mind.
Mikel loves the serendipity of finding shapes and figures in a bunch of scribbles and textures; and his motivation is mostly derived from the un-expectation of what's about to unfold, much like life itself.
Come and check out a never before seen collection.
Due to Covid restrictions we have applied a ticketing system to ensure numbers are kept to the allocated amount. This event is a free event.
