Out of the Alley

1-7 March

The Shop Gallery, 112 Glebe Point Road, Glebe

A self-taught artist and furniture maker, Pete Ferrow has been making eclectic work for decades. The Out of the Alley artist has been drawing and painting in ink and acrylic since the late 90s, but turned his attention 10 years ago to oils and painting Australian seas and landscapes. The new exhibition by the Inner West local takes Sydneysiders on a nostalgic walk along of the city’s watering holes with a collection of more than 40 artworks. From the Pyrmont Bridge Hotel to a sketch of the Lansdowne Hotel, Ferrow combined community nostalgia with personal curiosity to reach deeper into the history of Australian pubs which have been ingrained into the fabric of life in Sydney. Paying homage to these important destinations of mateship has brought him to this exhibition, open 10am-6pm daily. The opening night party will be held from 6pm on Friday 2nd.
