Olsen Irwin is thrilled to announce that two of our artists have been selected to be featured in the Destination Sydney Exhibition. 
Destination Sydney is a multi-venue exhibition across the Manly Art Gallery, Mosman Art Gallery and S.H. Ervin Gallery designed to promote cultural tourism around Sydney. Both John Olsen and Cressida Campbell have been selected to be part of a collaborative exhibition across three of Sydney's key public galleries.
Sydney has long been a point of focus and convergence for many artists born in other parts of Australia. The beauty of the city?s bush harbour foreshores, the quality of light and palpable sense of energy and movement within the city has provided many artists an ongoing inspiration and a wealth of rich source materials from which to draw.
Each of the artists selected for this exhibition have been influenced by their experiences of living and working in Sydney that the city and its harbour have become central themes within their artistic production. Some of the artists selected were born in Sydney, but found that the city's pictorial and poetic possibilities inspired them only after a long stint travelling abroad.
