Event Details
Local artist Ned Middleton's exhibition The Big Reveal is a culmination of 18 months' studio work at Lot19. Working alongside artist Tobias Richardson, Ned has produced a series of bright, larger than life paintings of some of his favourite pop and rock stars.
Ned applies a raw and unedited style to his painting, tapping into his inherited feel for colour and line. His works are bold, tough and unique, with a touch of the comical. Ned lives with Down syndrome, and has fully embraced the artistic culture of Castlemaine, developing a life long interest in dance, film, local radio work and more recently, painting. This is his first solo show.
