Welcome to the Gavin Wilson website.
Situated in the upland ranges north-west of Bathurst, the old gold-rush township of Hill End remains a creative crucible for a new generation of artists. Famously re-discovered by Russell Drysdale and Donald Friend in 1947, Hill End was to become a key site in Drysdale’s searing re-assessment of the Australian experience. In 1995, Gavin Wilson was commissioned to curate The Artists of Hill End, for the Art Gallery of NSW. The exhibition and residency programme was to become the catalyst for a new wave of contemporary artists to re-invigorate the region. The works on display in Out of Hill End are drawn from a disparate group of contempory artists working in various media – painting, photography, sculpture, ceramics, installation and graphics. What binds this group is a commitment to live and work in Hill End enhancing the region’s rich artistic legacy. Exhibiting at Damien Minton Gallery |
