Cathryn McEwen Gallery BC

Mr Kerry Bartlett, Member for Macquarie officially launched the captivating new exhibition of Cathryn McEwen’s artwork at Gallery BC Mt Victoria on 18th June 2006. The work of Cathryn McEwen captures intimate moments in time and allows us to connect and witness the power of the personalities she portrays . Her images of animals, still life, and tightly cropped figures create an arresting and often emotional response from the viewer. Her paintings and drawings have a "hyperreality" about them. There is a sense of humour in some, and a mystery in others. The "personalities" of inanimate objects and creatures emerge through clever cropping and distortion.
