Ballarat Art Gallery
Current Exhibitions: Jeffrey Bren, The Dark Mirror
Saturday 14 August 2010 - Sunday 26 September 2010
effrey Bren: The Dark Mirror is an exhibition which looks at the work of a Ballarat born artist whose name has largely disappeared into the annals of time. In the early 1960s, Bren studied at the National Gallery Art School under John Brack who was to become a major influence on his work. As the recipient of various art prizes in the 1970 including the Georges Art Prize and the Art Gallery of Ballarat's George Crouch Prize, Jeffrey Bren (1944-2007) was considered an impressive young talent early in his career.

Mason translates his vision of nature with meticulous lines and muted colours that exude sensitivity to both his medium and subject. As Mason writes "Drawing is the foundation of my practice, and in this show leads from an exploration of the physical world of nature, to paintings concerned with the experiential."
