A superb new addition to the Wentworth Galleries Stable
Gav Barbey is an artist you will hear a great deal about in the future. Gav Barbey is the latest addition to the Wentworth Galleries stable of Australian Artists and we couldn't be more excited about it.
I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Gav recently in his studio and within seconds of walking in the door and seeing a few of his works, I was planning a new exhibition. He really is that good.
Talking with him about his paintings really gives you a sense of his personal attachment to these pieces. It's easy to tell that he puts everything he has into these works, and it shows. He is incredibly talented but there is more to it. There's that something extra that comes from a real commitment to a vision.
Gav has amassed a large body of extraordinary work over the last couple of years that has not yet been released for public viewing. We will be showing these paintings at a new exhibition at our 17 Bligh Street Gallery. Opening night is Wednesday the 25th of June and the exhibiton will run until the 11th of July. Please contact us if you'd like to come along for the opening.
The Mel Brigg unpacking
Today I supervised the unpacking of thirty-three absolutely brilliant paintings. Beautiful, striking works of art executed with great skill and a world of talent. There's always something exciting about unboxing new artworks for an exhibition (and I know I've said this before) but this was particularly special.
If you can make it along for the opening on the evening of Tuesday the 6th, or visit us while the works are on display, I am certain you will agree with my sentiments.
If you're unable to make it into the gallery between May 6th and 20th, you can view the works online from the 7th of May.

The exhibition was a wonderful success with a fantastic turn out. Many thanks to everyone that came along to make it such a great evening and special thanks to Dr. John Hewson for opening the exhibition.
All the paintings can now be viewed online here. Please keep in mind that these paintings are much more spectacular in person. You simply can't get a real feeling for the wonderful texture and depth in these works without seeing them live.
