Extended Mileage

Posted by: Matthew Syres

Presented as part of the 2012 Head On Photo Festival, Sydney based photographer Matthew Syres launches a new exhibition of limited edition fine art prints at Gallery Red, shop 11, 131-145 Glebe Point Road, Glebe on Friday 25th May 2012, with drinks from 6 to 8pm.

The exhibition continues until the 13th of June and is open Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm, Saturday 10am to 3pm.

The exhibition is a based on a second look at the images taken during a 10 day, 3792km Australian road trip between Whitsunday Shire, North Queensland and The Dandenong Ranges, Victoria in December 2009. The first look resulted in the highly successful "Mileage - Images from the Road", exhibited at Gallery Red, Glebe, in August 2011.

The 19 new images in the exhibition are once again moody, mysterious and perhaps even magical toned black and white landscapes of Australia's East Coast. They are presented as 12" x 18" archival Giclée prints on 18" x 24" Hahnemuhle Bamboo Paper, a fine art stock made from 90 percent bamboo, 10 percent cotton rag, and are for sale in a limited edition of 25 each.

As a gesture of support and thanks to the amazing country that inspired this exhibition, fifteen percent of sales from the prints will be donated to Lock The Gate Alliance.

Matthew Syres is a Sydney based commercial, fine art, stock and documentary wedding photographer with a focus on the environment and social justice issues.
