CDG Top 5 cultural events 4th October
Posted on October 4, 2013
Now I know this may be a little premature, but this weeks top 5 does include a a little Halloween warm up. And quite a bit of Australia. Enjoy.
The second of our series of solo shows this autumn, Sam Peacock brings us harsh steel plates and concrete. Layered with rapid scrapes of gloss and oil paint that bubble and blister under intense heat and reach out like undergrowth, you'll find memories of Australia and urban regeneration. Don't forget to sniff Blaxland 2, rather sweet isn't it?
