Marvellous Melbourne
For the sixth year in a row, Melbourne has topped The Economist’s list of the world’s most livable cities. In MARVELLOUS MELBOURNE, its Art and Soul Exhibition, twenty-seven prominent Victorian artists capture the City’s uniqueness in a delightful array of paintings, drawings, prints & photographic artworks.
The Lady of the Lane was photographed in Tattersalls Lane, Melbourne, one of four works exhibited by Judi Schiff. Printed on aluminium, a relatively new medium. The original mural was painted by two Australian artists, Adnate and Shida.
The exhibition will feature works from Judi Schiff and Victor Rubin.
The images highlight Melbourne’s love of sport, the arts, its beautiful parks and gardens, fashion, festivals, laneways and street café life, transport, shipping industry and its distinctive architecture.
