Don’t miss this retrospective – Ronald Greenaway

For the last two and half years, every time we have visited Melbourne, we have also visited our friend, the artist Ronald Greenaway.

He has taken us on quite an extraordinary journey. This is now culminating in a retrospective exhibition at the Town Hall Gallery in Hawthorn, Melbourne, which we have curated.

This showcase celebrates more than 60 years of the artist’s creativity in “Ronald Greenaway – The Artist and His World”. It will be opened on Tuesday, 4 August 2015, by Boroondara Mayor Coral Ross.

The exhibition is running until 13 September, and features 60 of Greenaway’s own works. The show not only includes paintings by his peers Arthur Boyd, Sidney Nolan, Albert Tucker and Danila Vassilieff, but Town Hall Gallery have also commissioned contemporary artists Nicolas Ives, Ian Paradine and Justine Siedle to respond to Ronald Greenaway’s oeuvre through their own practice.

Town Hall Gallery is located at 360 Burwood Road, Hawthorn, and is open Tuesday to Friday 10am to 5pm and Saturday to Sunday from 11am to 4pm.

Visit “Ronald Greenaway: The Artist and His World” to experience a unique vision of Melbourne and the art world, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
