Introduction
Ralph Kerle has chosen to explore a new environment for this exhibition, The Water Spirits of Aveiro. In 2019, Kerle journeyed on the canals of Aveiro and was captivated by the relationship of the city’s past to its present.
Gazing at the surrounds from the water, he felt the spirited presence of the European artists who have inspired so many artists including himself.
The buildings that line the canals of Aveiro provided a rich subject for Kerle’s imagination. His digital photography is a representation of these meditative and transcendental moments experienced on the water.
The spirits of the past and present are seen though Kerle’s lens. The Water Spirits of Aveiro is a visual record of Kerle’s ongoing creative journey.

Drawings on Water Exhibition, Gallery 88, 88 Penshurst Street Willoughby. NSW Australia
Drawings on Water visually explores the surface of the waters of Middle Harbour, Sydney Australia and the power of physical movement in kayaking as the medium for creative inspiration to free the mind of mental darkness to recharge the soul with healing insights.
Around five years ago, Ralph Kerle began kayaking on Middle Harbour as a way of finding a non-pharmaceutical remedy for depression. His morning kayak soon opened up a daily world of new perceptions; offering boundless moments of insight whilst connecting him physically as close to nature as the original inhabitants of Middle Harbour, the Cammeraygals. The exhibition comprises photographs taken during his kayak journeys that acted as the doorways to new mental pathways and self awareness.
