DAVID BROMLEY EXHIBITION LAUNCH & BOOK SIGNING

21.Mar

A Picture Book First and Foremost is a recent publication illustrating the work and environments of Australian artist David Bromley. Capturing the two distinct and unique languages of Bromley’s work – the female portrait and the children’s series, this publication is presented in two unique editions. The standard edition includes three books within a handmade slip, while the limited edition presents the three volumes in a hand made leather school bag, with a limited edition print.

One of the three volumes is dedicated entirely to the artist’s various studio spaces. Beautifully photographed by Earl Carter, the images in this book provide a rare glimpse into the magical worlds that Bromley occupies.

Bromley’s only Queensland signing of A Picture Book First and Foremost will take place at the Jan Murphy Gallery on Sunday 21 March, 2-4 pm and in conjunction with the launch of his new exhibition, Pin-ups and Picture Books.

All Welcome.
