In this centenary year of Gallipoli, there will be lots of reasons to contemplate the sacrifices made by servicemen. This is a topic which has long interested artist Tom McAulay and there will be an exhibition of his war-related paintings, simply entitled “Anzacs”.
While the First World War is naturally the focus of the centenary, the artworks cover many theatres of war through to Vietnam. Australian and New Zealand troops have been involved often as Commonwealth conscripts or obviously as regular servicemen, but have always been highly respected as fighters and comrades.
“Anzacs” opens on Saturday April 18th and is on display until May 3rd, at ‘Art on Cairncross’ near Maleny.
Meet Tom at the gallery on Saturday April 18th from 3.00pm or on Sunday April 19th between 11.00am and 3.00pm.
Gallery hours are 10 am to 5 pm, Tuesday through Sunday and more information can be found at www.artoncairncross.com.au
Tom will be joined by his brother Cary who has painted other theatres of war in his own style.
