Eastern Suburbs Art Group

This was a crowded room earlier this month. I went with Yianni and we talked with a gentleman who lives in Surry Hills. The gentleman was very friendly and we talked about book clubs. He came straight over to me when I had found an open space at the back of the gallery. Greaves paints in impasto oils. I think I remember a couple of years earlier seeing a show of his in Darlinghurst, but I might be wrong. It sounds odd to say thism as if dozens of artists could paint the ame types of pictures with the same technique.

Apologies for the delay, we went as a party of three to this gallery at the beginning of the month but I haven't had time to get around to writing about it. Angharad Evans, Fabric of Society The gallery is a bit out of the way but my friends and I were having lunch in Chinatown so got a bus from Railway Square along Parramatta Road. We got off at Leichhardt, where the gallery is located. Actually we got off a bit too early. Leichhardt is on a very busy road so is a bit exhausting, unlike most galleries (Paddington Surry Hills etc). Then the person whose work in the show I had personally come to see arrived there just after we left the gallery to return to town. Nevertheless it was interesting. Vilma Bader, Pharmatopia The brief for entry involved displaying process and even now I'm not sure that the show met expectations. That is if you knew what it was before visiting. We all had a good time though.

Cast and crew got together to talk and socialise last month at a local restaurant. Since then we have had the first rehearsal, which was held at Coogee Diggers, just up the road from Yana Coogee. The May meetup was the first time that we all came together in one place. Fom now on we'll be meeting at Yana Coogee on Sunday afternoons.
