Exhibition | Out on a Limb - Peter Fitzpatrick

FREE ADMISSION | GALLERY OPEN: Wednesday to Sunday 10.30am – 3.30pm | Closed Monday, Tuesday & Public Holidays

Out on a Limb is an exhibition by Toowoomba artist Peter Fitzpatrick. Playfully referring to the phrase ‘To go out on a limb’, the title embodies Peter’s ethos of trying something new even if it goes against the grain. He says, “For art to hang on a wall it ought to evoke conversation, play “mind games” to arouse change and not sit meekly as a “gap fill-in” of inconsequence”.

This curated selection of retrospective paintings and mixed media works features limbs, trees, branches and figurative forms, where limbs are viewed as poetic extension beyond a principal structure, panorama, or a pose. Limbs and shadows become the primary focus to engage the beauty of simplicity.

The exhibition aims to engage audience dialogue and emotional contemplation.

Join us for an Opening event on Sunday 7 April at 11am. Guest speakers include Bill Morton and Charlie Boyle.

Free event | All welcome | No bookings required.
