Iain Dawson Gallery

To my knowledge the Iain Dawson Gallery is the only art gallery on Oxford Street in Paddington. It must be a risky business running any Art gallery in Sydney but having to cough up the rent on in the Paddington end of Oxford Street each week, must really be a challenge. But obviously something is working.
I am a fan of Modern Contempory art, I love installations and all the crazy abstract stuff that people say «that isn’t art» about, I love ideas and works which make you think.
Iain Dawson is presenting exhibitions which are somewhere between safe modern art and stuff that is a bit more out there,
I haven’t yet seen an exhibition that really blows me away, not that I see every exhibition, but I am impressed by some of the riskiness of the art on show.
The current exhibition is by an Artist named Alun Rhys Jones and his work is predominantly portraits presented in a 3D like perspective of bright saturated reds, purples, blues yellows, etc. He also has many works of skulls in the same colour scheme.
I am not sure I would hang them in my living room, but someone out there must want to.
