DAVID SWEENEY’S FIRST EXHIBITION – 19TH – 24TH DECEMBER – OFFICIAL FUNCTION TUESDAY 19TH 6-9PM.

David Sweeney first exhibition


“Lesley Dimmick has reminded me that my exhibition is imminent and that it is time to write a spiel to promote it. And with her reminder, reality bared their teeth. Another commitment looming and I am racing to get ready!   Not only that, I am also obliged to write something credible about my paintings.

I will be exhibiting framed works of oil paintings on paper and a couple of framed colour pencil drawings of the East Sydney Hotel in action.  They have been framed by Sokquon Tran. The framing is modern and the craftsmanship is so good it could have been undertaken in Amsterdam during the Dutch Golden Age. I am also completing oil paintings on canvas and linen.   I will need as much time as possible between now and when I hang on 18 December 2023 to finish painting; so if you come to my exhibition, please don’t touch them! 😊

The paintings will be a mix of portraits, self portraits, seascapes, and landscapes. Some will be more trippy than others. 

Thank you

David Sweeney”

“Paintings from My Studio” is an exhibition by Georgina Trout.

Georgina commenced her formal art education with a Bachelor of Arts degree at Sydney’s City Art Institute in the 70’s.    She then won a number of art prizes, including  the Macquarie University Chancellor’s Award,  the Peter Stuyvesant Cultural Foundation Award,  the AGNSW Dyason Bequest and Permanent Trustees’ Martin Bequest,  before being awarded a Fulbright Travel Grant in 1984 to study in New York.     There she attended the New York Studio School for the summer where she was offered a scholarship, which she was unable to accept because she was starting a Master of Arts degree at New York University.    She completed her formal education with the award of a Doctorate in Creative Arts at Wollongong University in 1994.

At NYU she was placed as an intern with the pop artist Tom Wesselman, who was famous for his Great American Nudes series in the 60’s and 70’s.  In his studio in the Bowery, she joined his two other assistants to produce work that was derived from sessions with his model. 

Following her return to Sydney, Georgina  attended the Julian Ashton Art School,  won the Camden Art Prize,  was hung in the Salon des  Refuses for the Wynne and won First and Second Prizes for entries in the Royal Easter Show.

She bought her own picture framing shop – Ace Frames in Rose Bay –  and owned it for 10 years. Upon retiring in 2002, Georgina found more time to paint and decided to take up painting from the life model. In her studio she paints from the model once a week and painted portraits. She has had many exhibitions, usually every 2-3 years based on figuration.

In this exhibition “Paintings from My Studio” Georgina continues her exploration of abstraction through figuration. She explains her process this way. I have a model come to my studio. I set up coloured drapes of different patterns  and position the model in a pose that is comfortable to her. Georgina then starts with small canvases and canvas boards and looks at the coloured masses from a composition viewpoint, often putting on a timer to limit overworking an image or going from the abstract to the literal. After a number of different poses have been completed, the small works are viewed and a composition is picked out for a larger painting that might become a story. With the larger painting on the easel she revisits the smaller paintings with a frame that is overly grand or quirky to create an interesting contrast that reminds her of early modernist artworks in elaborate traditional frames…after all she was a framer.
