Tony Belobrajdic

artist in residence

7 June - 2 July

Opening with the artist

Wednesday, 8 June from 6pm

​

Tony Belobrajdic has been working in the Centrehouse artist in residence on Longueville Road, over the past 6 months, in anticipation of his first full scale solo exhibition, outside Europe. The exhibition titled, Tony Belobrajdic, artist in residence will be on throughout June, in Gallery Lane Cove. A local artist, Tony grew up in Croatia and moved to Sydney in 1989. He has taken this residency to develop a body of paintings in oils, a medium he rarely has the opportunity to work in. Referencing notations and ques from a range of historical sources and important Masters, this exhibition is a collection of intimate portraits of his sons and friends, classical nudes, paintings featuring equestrian motifs and boat scenes, inspired by English artist, Joseph Turner. With inspiration from the royal Spanish artist, Diego Velázquez and the Dutch masters, like Albrecht Durer and Rembrandt, Tony has interpreted these familiar motifs with a contemporary eye that often shifts and experiments with composition so that the image spreads out from the canvas.
