Fine Art teacher Tim Allen currently has a solo exhibition at Defiance Gallery, Sydney. The show is a result of a trip to the Northern Flinders Ranges in South Australia to work plein air, which led to a series of large scale paintings produced in the studio.

On Saturday 28th July at 2pm Tim will hold an artist floor talk at the gallery, in conversation with Richard Morecroft, to discuss the processes, ideas and experiences behind the artworks.

Second year Diploma painting students will visit the exhibition as part of a series of commercial gallery visits on Tuesday 31st July. Gallery owner Campbell Robertson-Swann will give a talk to the students about aspects of forging a career as a professional artist. The students will be joined on excursion by 2nd year painting students from Hornsby TAFE (with teacher Stephen Hall) in order to encourage an exchange of ideas between art schools.
The exhibition runs until 11th August. Defiance Gallery is located at 47 Enmore Rd Newtown.
