Have you always wanted to visit Australia? This is your chance! Renowned Torres Strait Island artist Brian Robinson will join us for a reception to celebrate his exhibition Tithuyil (Moving with the Rhythm of the Stars). This event is free, and cheese and wine will be provided.

Robinson's graphic style combines his Torres Strait Islander heritage with a passion for experimentation and influences as varied as renaissance art, pop culture and fantasy. The result is a combination of styles as diverse as graffiti art through to intricate relief carvings and sculpture echoing images of Torres Strait cultural motifs, objects and activity. Robinson's work is held in major collections such as the National Gallery of Australia.
