Jose dos Santos – Snakes at Callan Park Gallery

February 6, 2010 Art+Psyche
Jose dos Santos - Snake

The quality of these two images is not great. I’m not sure what was happening, but I visited the exhibition at about the time I was starting to feel unwell last year, so maybe this went with the territory – as possibly does the subject. Callan Park Gallery held a show titled Snakes last November, [...]

Paul Sedgwick at Callan Park

October 16, 2009 Art+Psyche
