Greenhill Galleries is now located in a new contemporary gallery space in Dalkeith. This will be the first of two new gallery spaces in the Western Suburbs within the next year. Greenhill Galleries' Director, Paul Swain, is currently looking for second, larger premises, which will function as the primary gallery, whilst keeping Dalkeith as an annex.
The gallery will continue to focus on quality works by a collection of Australia’s most notable contemporary artists.

SQUARED

Greenhill Galleries is proud to be presenting SQUARED, a fascinating collection of small scale works, each 30 x 30 cm in size. The primary aim of this annual exhibition is to provide new collectors with an opportunity to purchase affordable pieces by artists they admire. As ever, it will be a stunning array of new, previously unseen, miniature works, offering a diverse assortment of styles, artists and mediums.

Each year, 10% of all SQUARED sales are donated to a charity selected by Greenhill Galleries' Director, Paul Swain. This year, he has chosen Redkite as the recipient. Redkite is an Australian charity supporting children, young people and their families through cancer.

Crispin Akerman

Formally composed and subtly communicated, Akerman's latest exhibition of works explores the realms of harmony, balance, tension, light and atmosphere. With a virtuosity of technique, he reveals the beauty of ordinary objects in an unencumbered setting. These everyday items become subjects for the study of objects in space.

"I've always been fascinated with the way light falls in a room or on an object, the way the awareness of light can make you very aware of where you are and of that moment in time. It's a capturing of the moment in your memory, like a photograph, with all the memories attached to that moment, that memory of the light..."
The restrained tranquility and poised composition of Akerman's still life work allows the viewer an almost meditative respite from an otherwise turbulent world. Akerman's distinct style of painting is sure to result in a beautifully intriguing and contemplative collection of works.
