Milieu

Etchings and drawings by John Benfer

24 September - 23 October 2006
Redland Art Gallery, Cleveland, Gallery 3, 4

This exhibition features work created in response to the landscape. Exploring the duality of regeneration and decay, Benfer’s subject matter is both the urban environment of inner Brisbane and the landscape of Victoria Point. For Benfer, Victoria Point is a place of many fond memories; visiting his grandmother’s house and exploring the shoreline.
