ART GALLERY
8 SEPTEMBER 2 NOVEMBER
THE HAMILTON QUILTERS
There has been a renewed
interest in craft and
needlework in recent
years as traditional arts
and crafts enjoy a revival
with a younger generation.
Quilts in particular are
familiar objects, yet every
stitch has the power to
carry a range of stories
and histories. These
works can often hold
immense family value,
lovingly handed down
through the generations.
The Hamilton Quilters
have been delighting
Western Victoria with
their dedication, skill
and creativity with this
popular medium for over
30 years. This exhibition
will mark the group’s 16th
biennial exhibition in the
gallery with a variety of
techniques and ideas on
display themed around
‘Two Colour Harmony’.
6 AUGUST - 12 OCTOBER
PRINTS: RECENT GIFTS
AND ACQUISITIONS
The Gallery holds over
1500 prints spanning from
the 17th century onwards.
They frequently come
into the collection as the
result of gifts and others
have been purchased in an
attempt to maintain the
breadth of the collection.
They are usually of
Australian origin these
days and so this exhibition
draws together some
of the recent Australian
prints we have added to
the collection.
22 OCTOBER 25 JANUARY 2015
WILLIAM HOGARTH:
CHARACTERS &
CARICATURES
William Hogarth was most
famously known for his
biting commentary on
18th century manners and
morals. A controversial
and individualistic
character he was driven
by a sense for justice
and missed no chance
to assert his opinion
even if he meant he got
into a quarrel with his
contemporaries. This
selection of prints from
the Gallery’s holdings
looks at his satire and
preoccupation with
caricature in his work.

ILLUMINATION: THE ART
OF PHILIP WOLFHAGEN
The art of Philip Wolfhagen
is the first major survey
of this Tasmanian artist.
A landscape artist,
Wolfhagen is a master of
creating works of art that
capture changing light and
mood, temperature and
atmosphere. To view his
paintings is to be seduced
by the fleeting elements
of weather and the everchanging qualities of
nature. It is this ethereal
quality that makes his art
so appealing to collectors
and art galleries both in
Australia and overseas.
