The Art Gallery of NSW North Building is extraordinary. From the outside you see a one storey glass building. But inside it opens up to a vast space tingling your creative mojo.
In the book Universal Principles of Design by W. Lindwell, K. Holden, and J. Butler, Cathedral Effect is described as “concpicious ceiling height” that promotes abstract thinking and creativity. This building is a great example of that.
This painting by Jude Rae reminds me Edward Hopper’s work. The clean overlay of layers and reflections brings a gentle interplay between realism and abstraction. The painting sits in that boundary without imposing.
These two ceramic artworks by Lubna Chowdhary were my favourites of five in the series exhibited.
A detail from Yayoma Kusama’s playful sculpture Flowers that Bloom in the Cosmos.
Here are some random pictures I took after I left the exhibition.
