Gallery Wren in Sydney
Posted on Oct 14, 2009 under Travel | No CommentAustralia is a wonderful place for visitors. With stunning natural beauty, the outback, beaches, and a rich, urban scene in the bigger cities, there’s really something for everyone to love here. Sydney is one of Australia’s most fascinating cultural centers, and there are just hosts of attractions that will appeal to guests of all ages. There are spectacular art galleries, great clubs that play some of the world’s most forward-looking music, and it’s also a fantastic place for a hotel. Sydney, Australia is wonderful and magical, and there are memories here, just waiting for you to come and create them.
Treat yourself to a lovely meal after a splendid rest, and you’ll be ready to start having a unique adventure in this unique place. The cuisine reflects all the cultural influences here, and it’s a very heady mix of local indigenous culture, and European and Asian influences. This cosmopolitan mix has helped Sydney to become a major player in the art world. It attracts some of the most creative minds in the world, coming to take part in the evolving scene here. One of the city’s edgiest and most established galleries, ironically, is Gallery Wren , which has a terrific history of presenting provocative new art by emerging and established artists.
They’ve presented works by the likes of Arnie Arnold, one of Sydney’s bad boy artists, who follows in the footsteps of some of his British near-contemporaries. His work is a mix of styles and media, and he’s been moving from painting to more experimental forms, including digital media, as well as working on a series of collages of late. Not that there’s anything traditional about his paintings, either, which speak to a contemporary sensibility that embraces his unique combination of surrealism and pop culture, and help to define an art sensibility that is uniquely Sydney, and simultaneously located in a larger international arena.
