”Spyglass” – Bill Gannon, Dieter Irving & Sharon Kirk

Yeppoon artist Bill Gannon and Uki artist Dieter Irving have strong ties to Central Queensland and are known for their artistic expeditions following the paths of Ludwig Leichhardt and Matthew Flinders throughout Queensland.

In recent years Dieter and Bill sketched at the Salvator Rosa section of Carnarvon Gorge National Park. That section was named by the explorer Sir Thomas Mitchell in 1846 after the 17th Century Italian artist, Salvator Rosa. He also named a remarkable summit which had 10 metre wide hole in its sandstone ridge, Spyglass Peak.

Spyglass is the result of this latest expedition.

Spyglass will be on display from 20 November until 11 January 2024.

Gallery Hours are Monday to Friday 9.00am – 5.00pm (closed 1 – 2pm) and Saturday 9.00am – 12.00pm.

The Bauhinia Bicentennial Art Gallery – Springsure Art Awards are held annually in March. Established and emerging local artists of all ages can submit entries in up to seven categories, with prize money ranging up to $2,000 for council’s Acquisitive Award.
