Thursday 10 December 2020, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm. Venue: Ralph Kerle Gallery, Cosmopolitan Centre, 22 Knox St, Double Bay NSW 2028. (Gallery is now closed.)
Internationally renowned artist Ralph Kerle is delighted to announce the opening of his very own gallery in Double Bay, just in time for a warm Sydney summer. He will also be launching fundraising initiatives with Sydney Eye Hospital Foundation.
Ralph is a Sydney based photographic artist. His artworks are nothing short of captivating and hypnotic, as colours and other-worldly shapes seem to develop before our eyes. Using a digital camera, he captures subtle details of reflections on water, as he kayaks through Sydney Harbour and more recently the waterways in the USA, the UAE and Portugal.
In the mid 1980s, Ralph was diagnosed with keratoconus; the slow deterioration of muscles in the cornea. Subsequently a corneal transplant saved the sight in his right eye whilst his left eye is still deteriorating. As a result, Ralph's rare condition allows him to see the world uniquely. His brain has translated this visual disability into the abstraction, movement and colour dominant in his artwork.
Special guests CEO Sydney Eye Hospital Foundation, Linda Fagan and specialist eye surgeon Dr Con Petsoglou joined for an exclusive talk about how our vision and its driver, the brain, affects one's creativity.
