Join us today at Gallery NWC - 188 Katoomba Street, Katoomba between 2-4pm to hear from artist Ian McGilvray about his solo exhibition: This Gives Life
“So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee” Sonnet 18, William Shakespeare
'The two movements of this series draw in part upon diary records and events. But, for allegorical reasons, the works also wander off the track into imagined worlds and conflated memories.
As in Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18, there is a subverting twist in these paintings for the viewer who, like me, ponders the question of what (or Who) gives life to us, the stuff of dreams?' Ian McGilvray
