12. GALLERY H - Lithgow Arts Trail

GALLERY H

Gallery H evolved from a dream artist Henryk Topolnicki had for quite a long time. After more than 20 years as a designer-maker and public artist, he decided the time had come to create, make and sell work in his own space. Together with his partner Merren, this dream has now become a reality.

Gallery H is not a fine art gallery, it is a place encompassing wild, urban, industrial, agricultural and more.

Some works are on the serious side and some are a little left of centre. Lots of materials are recycled, very often reaching back into Australia’s farming and industrial past. Some sculptural pieces come courtesy of Lithgow Tip! (Waste Management Centre to younger generations.)

BACK TO MAP

This is not your typical art space, we are attempting to create a place of diversity, fun and a bit of a visual challenge. Many pieces encompass tools of the past, while others are rooted in the present and sophisticated technologies. We are not fine art….we are finer. Welcome to our venture; enjoy viewing Henryk’s work and the work of another dozenartists represented by us.

Stage two of the Gallery H experience is a visit to Henryk’s workshops and our (work in progress) sculpture garden – a two minute walk from the gallery.

We live and work in the wild country. Does the art reflect this….come and see.
