Straddling the Little Greece and Chinatown pockets of the city is Waratah Place, and nestled in amongst Club X, Erotica Plus, Cheapaway Bottleshop and the nastiest dumpling houses we find Uplands Gallery. From this charming and eclectic cityscape, we travel upstairs to enter the dreamscapes of James Lynch.
Each of Lynch's paintings is like a window into an obscure dollhouse. Within the domestic settings we find collages of painted images, incoherent and incongruous, like a mash-up of dream stills. Unashamedly frank dreams such as Sleeping with my dead grandma. are painted in an appropriately unembellished way so as to present their simplicity and their inherent strangeness. Upon exiting the exhibition the viewer should find themselves mentally comfortable and reassured, even if they are geographically between a rock and a hard place. |

If you thought that Richmond was a suburb full of churches, pubs and footballers, you were right. Yet, amongst the thorns of this bush, is a rose or two, and one by the name of Hollie Sweet
A fragrant salon of luxury best describes this Richmond boutique that delivers 'fashion, art, design and style.' Sweetness abounds within in the form of couture, confectionary and coquettes. Why not try the musk-stick sweetness of Lover or the liquorice-allsort diversity of Kate Slyvester? Alternatively, put your pennies toward some exquisite Parisian nougat or decadent New York chocolate. No doubt you'd need the fortune of Veruca Salt to satiate all your desires, so beware those with a sweet tooth and jolly wallets! |
