David appears in Brooklyn


Despite the jetlag that afflicts all constant travellers, David has resumed a new position outside the front doors of The Edge Art Space in Brooklyn. Looking none the worse for his travels (unless you count a broken neck) he now stands tall and shapely like a Centurian greeting all visitors to this gorgeous arts venue.

As the informed may be aware, David is never in one place for long (preferring the life of a gypsy) so he will soon move to greener pastures.

His time here has been interesting. 
He has been kidnapped by pranksters and subjected to a violent Sydney hailstorm, but he has certainly turned the heads of many a tired commuter.

It is our hope that he has also brought a smile to the faces of our patrons and the residents of Brooklyn.
As always, our aim is to please.
Below are postcards sent by David during his many travels.



His travel diary is well booked, but for further information on David, you may wish to speak with his maker, John Wright - sculptor.

Today we are proud to represent the stunning work of our curator Gerd Schmid

Gerd sees water differently to most of us. 
He is in awe of the surprising colours and amazing shadows generated by combinations of sun, moon, sea life, clouds and reflection.
He waxes lyrical about the textures and ripples created by wind, rain, or a school of fish.
His home by the beautiful Hawkesbury River offers him inspiration on a daily basis. Changing seasons, varied weather, water depth, and a wealth of fish life mean the river is a constant source of material for Gerd and his inquisitive mind.
Years of study and diligent experimentation into mediums, techniques and applications have resulted in his unrivaled ability to produce works both large and small that seem to draw you in to their depth. Fish appear to swim deep beneath his canvas, whilst the sun appears to bounce off the paint almost requiring sunglasses of the viewer.
