Interview on Southern FM

Interview with Peter Kemp from Southern FM 88.3 about 'Pérégrinations' at the Alliance Française Melbourne.

PÉRÉGRINATIONS at the Alliance Française de Melbourne

The Alliance Française de Melbourne is delighted to invite you to the opening of

PÉRÉGRINATIONS
Prints and drawings by Damon Kowarsky

Official opening Wednesday 23 October from 630 to 8pm

Working from a studio in a 12th century abbey with the support of the Alfred and Trafford Klots International Program for Artists, Damon painted every day for two months: capturing with watercolour and pencil the lush countryside, the hills rising up from the river, the midsummer light, and all in ever-changing shades of green. Since returning to Australia Damon has concentrated on a suite of etchings inspired by his memories of Brittany. The subtle and intricate architecture, the open skies and luxurious green of Léhon permeates each work presented as part of this exhibition.

Exhibition continues until 22 November
