Cradle Mountain Wilderness Gallery opens new exhibition season
What links images of Icelandic ice, underwater shots whales in Tonga, panoramas of rocky coastlines in Tasmania, and abstract pictures of canyons and river-sculpted rock? One element: water. Looking at the new photographic exhibition at the Cradle Mountain Wilderness Gallery, that unifying theme is not obvious at first – but take time to consider this spectacular new collection, and one sees water (or signs of it) everywhere. The new exhibition, which brings together seven leading nature photographers, spreads across eight rooms at the Cradle Mountain Wilderness Gallery. The landscapes and waterscapes that make up the exhibition come from photographers at the peak of their careers. The new exhibition season at The Cradle Mountain Wilderness Gallery, Cradle Mountain Chateau, opened 2 December 2011. It showcases works by Chris Bell, Rob Blakers, Richard Bennett, Andy Chisholm, Darren Jew, Joshua Holko and Dan Gisselson. The collection will be on view until October 2012.
