On White Canvas explores the virtues of quietude expressed through Colin Bennison’s diverse collection of subjects. Bennison draws inspiration from his photography that documents the nuances of nature, the grandeur of landscape and figures in moments of solitude. Portrayed in the delicacy of charcoal and conte crayon, these works exude a sense of stillness and reflection that is highlighted by the undisturbed spaces of white canvas. This use of space framing the subjects and the gentle gradation of tone, are just some of the qualities in Bennison’s work that set this contemplative mood. Exhibition opening and conversations with the artist 5 May 1pm -3pm.

Curated by Tugi Balog. A Bathurst Regional Art Gallery touring exhibition MAY’S: The May Lane Street Art Project is a survey of the artworks created at May Lane between 2005 and 2010 by celebrated Australian and international street artists. The May’s Lane project is an outdoor gallery space located in St Peters in Sydney's inner west. Tugi Balog, a local businessman who turned the exterior walls of his business premises into a site-specific gallery for street artists, has been documenting the May Lane project since its inception in 2005. As a result, May’s has a collection of over 100 panels spanning the life of the project and incorporating all the artists who have created work in May Lane. This exhibition is supported by Visions of Australia, an Australian Government program supporting touring exhibitions by providing funding assistance for the development and touring of Australian cultural material across Australia.

The Cbus Collection houses a strong selection of Australian landscape paintings by significant artists.

Artists such as Samuel Thomas Gill, Frederick McCubbin, George Lambert, Arthur Boyd, Eugene von Guerard and J.H.Scheltema capture direct or symbolic responses to scenic views, hillsides, riverbanks, dead trees, stone houses and quiet spaces.
