ca Gallery is delighted to present ‘From the Archives’, a solo exhibition by David Green featuring a selection of drawings and mixed media works created in the previous 20 years or so. The scope of subjects and themes considered across the exhibition cast a wide gaze- from earliest memories of a childhood at the behest of World War II in England, to curiouser explorations of fish and fritillaries.

This exhibition will run 1 – 21 May, with an opening on Saturday 2nd May 4 – 6 pm.

Emeritus Professor David Green is a full-time artist living on the Sunshine Coast. From his earliest introduction to an after-school art club to completing Design studies at the Royal College of Art, London in 1965, Green has sustained a formidable dedication to his craft.

Green is a former Head of Visual and Performing Arts of Charles Sturt University, and Head of the Wagga Wagga Campus of Charles Sturt University before retiring from his academic career, and former Chair of the Crafts Board of the Australia Council. He has authored four books, has had more than 15 solo exhibitions and participated in more than 50 selected and curated group exhibitions.

Green has been selected as a finalist in numerous national and international art awards. His work is held in many public collections including the Sienna Institute of Art Italy, Brooklyn Art Library New York, Power House Museum Sydney, Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery Tasmania, Victorian State Craft Collection, Ararat City Art Gallery Victoria, Tamworth National Fibre Collection New South Wales, Albury City Art Gallery, Ballarat University Collection, Charles Sturt University Collection, Wagga Wagga City Art Gallery, and the Warrnambool City Art Gallery Victoria.

His works are created with an old-fashioned dip pen and indian ink. Any additional colour is usually watercolour, the employment of mixed media collage or the inclusion of textiles.
