The Wild Swans Art Group of Lynne Norton, Caspar Fairhall, Duncan Mckay, John Cullinane, Michael Doherty, Connie Petrillo, Diokno Pasilin, Cynthia Ellis, Peter Davidson, Chelle Bourne and Kevin Robertson, recent exhibition at Nyisztor Studios in Western Australia included eight artworks from the Japanese avant garde artist Sadaharu Horio who generously contributed to the exhibition thank you Horio.

Its not often the Wild Swans exhibit back in their home state of Western Australia, so it was good to return to the place of its origins as the group has been very well received in Japan, Kuching Malaysia and more recently at the Australian High Commission Singapore. Further more to all those who came to the exhibition many thanks and special thanks to Ron Nyisztor for the hanging of the artworks.

End of Summer exhibition

The Wild Swan Art Group from Western Australia and friends 

will open soon at 2 Dogs Art Space Akashi

Due to the extreme heat in Japan and as the Art Space has no air conditioning or electricity the gallery will only open when it is cool enough, so if you see the door open please come in, thank you.

Unfortunately the heat is still extreme I will try and open the gallery in the morning now before midday thank you 24/8/2017

The Wild Swan Art Group will be exhibiting in the Gutai meets Western Australian exhibition at 2 Dogs Art Space Akashi

Currently there is a exhibition about to open in 2 Dogs Art Space that contains the works of The Wild Swans Art Group on show. The exhibition at 2 Dogs Art Space is titled Gutai meets Western Australian it acknowledges the friendship between the two communities and how in Japan that relationship developed with groups exhibiting and performing, learning from each other.

For example, here is a link to Sadaharu Horio performing with Martine Hiene and David Bromfield at Atiler 2001 under the Kobe railway line in 2012;

I have been going to events dinners with the Gutai members since 2006 so its well over a decade now members of the groups have been interacting from these sister states being Hyogo prefecture and Western Australia there for we look forward to this exhibition at 2 Dogs Art Space.
