Our mission was simple: three galleries in three hours. Kate, a friend of hers, and I met at 4A Gallery just after six.

I can't … Continue reading Gallery Crawl

He obviously has a physical disability of some kind and so his movement is painfully slow and deliberate. … Continue reading Ways by Omar Chowdhury at 4A

I'm a great fan of 4A, having previously visited quite a number of their exhibitions, and … Continue reading 4A Gallery Fundraiser
"I have this feeling we've met each other before", the young woman said to me tonight at Sydney's 4A Gallery. We had been introduced by my friend Kate at the annual Members Exhibition of the Sydney gallery which specialises in Asian-Australian Art.
