‘beacheSANDeserts’ by Peter Day is an exhibition of paintings and sculptures that emerge after 53 years following his tutelage by early Pop Art star, Ken Reinhard and one of the earliest of artists to venture into Australia’s deserts, Arthur Murch. Critic and curator Jeremy Eccles writes ‘the deserts turn up in Day’s kaleidoscopic canvases, as do beaches – both often given an aerial view that references Aboriginal art. Reinhard’s Popism can be felt in Day’s post-Readymade sculptures.’
