Streetscapes are the modern take on rolling pastoral hills, the haystacks replaced by telephone boxes, the trundling cows, cars. Local artists Bede Kulcher and Hillary Latta (winner of the Hervey Bay Society Award and illustrator of children’s book Buzzy Bee) have tackled the scenes that Glebe-ites, Newtownians and Surry Hillsers will know well in striking swathes of colour and light in an exhibition now on at 90 May St Gallery. Kulcher says, “I seek to elevate the overlooked, to glory in the ordinary, presenting the viewer with a shock of recognition.” There is no doubt there will be many such a moment when wandering around – see if you can spy your favourite coffee shop or strip of tarmac.
