- Abstract
- Wes Walters: Realism and Abstraction exhibition the Post Office Gallery at the University of Ballarat between 19 December 2012 and 26 January 2012. The Research project sought to present one of the first comprehensives surveys of the variety of Wes Walters practice; spanning almost six decades of work across a variety of mediums. Whilst previous shows of the artists' work have focused almost exclusively on his portraits and figure studies , the exhibition staged at the Post Office Gallery sought to instead to couple these well know works with a range of the artist's abstractions and commercial designs; the latter including his famous 1955 Chicko Roll poster which, as David Thomas notes in his introductory essay to the accompanying catalogue, was once seen in every fish and chip shop in Australia.
