A huge variety of art was on display at the Art Gallery of Western Australia. From modern portraits to Aboriginal artworks. There were many fine pieces and we really liked what we saw. One gallery had the finalists from the Lester Prize for Portraiture. Another gallery was all dark with works that were lit up and positively glowing. We walked through the art museum and then back to the pad via a different route. Exploring as we go.
Roos to spare
Old buildings mixed in with the new
A glorious clocktower
This brick building is next to a modern one
The modern one is built over top of the old
One giant meteor on display
A fog fountain
A frog sanctuary
This painting is by an artist that loved to paint the gum trees/ Here cows are being herded along a row of gum trees
In the same gallery they had works painted 100 years after the the ones above
One of the portraits
A make your own art area
A cool piece with black swans
This si the dark gallery
You can see how the painting glow
Not sure that these were jellybeans
The seven sisters was a major theme
Doilies and rusted nails
Each section was hung seperately
A six foot snake
This is reminiscent of New Orleans
Street Art abounds
And art in the buildings
We walked home using a different route, this time along a pedestrian walkway
From our balcony we see multiple buildings lit up
The state building goes all night long
Th bell tower lit up at night
