Press Release: Rosemary's Garden - under the apricot tree
Eva Breuer Art Dealer is pleased to announce the opening of an exhibition of new paintings by Rosemary Valadon, Rosemary’s Garden - under the apricot tree. Following a sell-out show in 2009 of beautiful and delicate teacups, Valadon’s new paintings invite the viewer into her garden, which she describes as an "embracing environment for sharing with friends and family." Having gone through major health issues this year, Valadon has found "nourishment and solace in the things around [her]: the quiet moments in the garden, the fading light of the sunset, the tea ceremony, the call of the birds." Valadon established her garden in 2005 when she made Hill End her home. Boasting the "best apricots in town," under the apricot tree is a place for "meditative moments."
As part of the AGNSW prestigious Hill End Artists-in-Residence Program, Valadon spent a short time in a cottage once occupied by the artists Jean Bellette and Paul Haefliger. She continues the artistic legacy of Hill End which was established in the late forties by well-known artists including Donald Friend, David Strachan, Margaret Olley and Russell Drysdale.
Rosemary Valadon’s works are held in numerous public and corporate collections around the country including the National Portrait Gallery, Macquarie University, Muswellbrook Art Prize Collection and BHP Billiton. She has been a finalist in the Archibald Prize, Sulman Prize and Mosman Art Prize multiple times and has won the Portia Geach Memorial Award and Blake Religious Art Prize.

Artist Spotlight: Vince Vozzo
Who (or what) do you consider your artistic inspiration?
I have many inspirations one is reading philosophy and looking at great works of art. Or just having a break from my work and walking down to Newtown for a coffee. Another one is walking my dog to Sydney park and going on top of the highest peak staring at the planes taking off from Sydney airport.
Do you listen to music while you work, and if so, what is most often playing?
I don't listen to music while I work any more, I am in complete silence. Although I love all sorts of music, I really love guitar sounds like Santana and Jeff Beck.
Who of your peers do you respect the most?
There's a few American artist I like, I can't name them at the moment. I seem to like artists of the last century like Picasso, Brancusi, Giacometti and the list go's on.
Do you have any habits/rituals or strange superstitions when painting?
I try to work 7 days a week, always have an afternoon break and walk to Newtown for coffee, it keeps me sane.
When did you decide to become an artist?
I didn't decide to become an artist, it chose me.. I always remember my first stonecarving. I didn't have a clue what I was doing, all I know is from my very first carving it was like I gave birth, from that day I was a sculptor.
What is your favourite colour?
Blue
Do you have a favourite painting or work of art? If so, what is it?
There's to many works of art I like to mention, but what I will say is if I don't feel creative I just look at Picasso's work and I can do anything.

Slow Burn - A century of Australian women artists from a private collection
OPENING 5 AUGUST AT THE S.H. ERVIN GALLERY
This stunning exhibition features the work of ninety three Australian women artists ranging from the delicate pastels of Janet Cumbrae Stewart to the modernist prints of Margaret Preston through to the bio-techno sculptures of Patricia Piccinini. The works in the exhibition demonstrate the skill and versatility of women artists over the past hundred years.
Slow Burn traces the history of women artists in Australia and the development of an extraordinary private collection over twenty five years. The evolution of the collection was guided by the late art dealer Eva Breuer. This is an amazing opportunity to view works by artists such as Clarice Beckett, Grace Cossington Smith, Margaret Olley, Tracey Moffatt and Bronwyn Oliver that are rarely seen by the public.
This exhibition has been generously supported by Eva Breuer Art Dealer.

Children in Art
Eva Breuer Art Dealer is proud to present a curated exhibition of works by a vast range of artists all based around the experience of youth childhood in part inspired by the exhibition Les Enfants modèles (Child Models) at the Musée national de l’Orangerie in Paris.
Many of the artworks depict images of children themselves. Among others, Ena Joyce depicts a young woman in a plaid skirt pushing a pram under a grey sky along the banks of the Thames, John Olsen shows a girl playing with a seemingly uncomfortable cat, Sam Wade paints a group of school children waiting on a train platform and Zai Kuang captures a moment of quiet contemplation as a seated young girl stares down at a toy penguin perched on a table. In some paintings, such as Stephen Nothling’s Only Pinnochio Knows and Meg Williams’s Still Life with Pink Pig the presence of a child is only implied through the inclusion of children’s toys.
The selection of works showing children and elements of children’s worlds are complemented by paintings that appeal to children through elements such as bright colours, in the case of Philippa Blair, or through their whimsical subject matter, in the case of Geoffrey Proud and Rosemary Valadon.
Children in Art will be on view starting April 6th at Eva Breuer Art Dealer.

Illustrated: Exhibition Catalogue, Arthur Boyd, Australian Embassy, Washington DC, 1986
Exhibited: Arthur Boyd, Australian Embassy, Washington DC, 30 May – 21 June 1986.
Born into a lineage of gifted painters, potters, musicians and architects, Arthur Boyd became the most celebrated member, in Australia’s cultural history, of that revered artistic family. Arthur Boyd is represented in the National Gallery of Australia, all state galleries, many regional galleries and many other important public collections both in Australia and overseas.
The Shoalhaven River is one of the most important subjects in Arthur Boyd’s remarkable body of work. The Boyd’s purchased the first of two properties, Riversdale, in 1973 and the second, Bundanon in 1979. Pulpit Rock, Bathers and Muzzled Dog c.1987 assaults the viewer with a vivid depiction of nature vs man-made hedonism. A dramatic painting with much wall power, it is concerned with the destruction of beauty, peace and tranquility in the natural environment through ignorant and pleasure seeking pastimes such as water skiing. This is clearly evident in the violent juxtaposition of a muzzled dog chasing a helmet wearing human figure (which appears to morph into an animalistic symbol of speed and greed) against a serene seemingly untouched escarpment of natural landscape. (Janet McKenzie, Arthur Boyd: Art and Life, pp.186-189)
