PARABOLA ARTS CENTRE

Love and fear — rare prints by Michael Leunig

Cartoonist, philosopher, poet, artist and National Living Treasure, Michael Leunig’s commentary on the political, cultural and emotional life of Australia spans thirty-five years and often explores the idea of an innocent and sacred personal world. He describes his approach as regressive, messy and vaudevillian, producing work that is both raw and sublime, loved and hated.

Mystery and Joy — abstract paintings by Gillian Lever

Gillian Lever’s practice is concerned with her soul life. Inspired by music that evokes a spiritual realm through the abstract language of sound, she searches to evoke this same mysterious world through the use of colour and light.
