The current Gallery Bilk exhibition Contained consists of work by Carlier Makigawa. The exhibition opened on 13th July to a wonderful reception, which was attended by renowned artists and colleagues. Contained is a magnificent collection of Carlier’s work, showcasing her talent and ability to examine different forms of line in a stunning, elegant manner. Contained is at Gallery Bilk until 17th of August.
Our new exhibition, In Light of Shadows, opened on Friday 1st June.
Something new for Gallery Bilk, the exhibition was received wonderfully, with many colleagues and friends attending the opening.
In Light of Shadows is the response of several extraordinary artists; we endeavour collaboration in art, to seek the wonder of shadows. Our work is to convey wonder.
The work itself is no doubt wonderful, and the exhibition will remain at Gallery Bilk until the 6th July.
Our current exhibition, Under a Canadian Sky, by Kirstie Rea, opened on the 20th April. It was a very successful opening, with friends, associates and colleagues coming to observe Kirstie’s beautiful work. The exhibition itself is a stunning reflection of Kirstie’s recent visit to Canada, and will be remaining at Gallery Bilk until 26th May.
Last Friday night, Melbourne Boys opened to great crowds and a fabulous speech by Susan. To add to all that excitement we also drew the winners for the Gold & Silver Workshop Raffle. If you missed out, or just want to relive the night have a look at our social photos below.
Thank you to everyone who braved a very cold night to attend the opening of Fractured View – Dore Stockhausen.
The exhibition continues until 19 August, so if you haven’t seen it yet, never fear!
We’ve been busy with the openings here at Bilk, with in Canberra & in Miniature opening last Friday. It was freezing cold, but that couldn’t keep the glass hungry crowd away! There are only a few photos from the night, but you can see how packed it was. A big thank you to everyone who braved the cold, and an especially big thank you to Genevieve Jacobs for officially opening the exhibition!
