Large Format Photography Australia

On a tight site in Sydney's Queens Park, this is a courtyard residence and gallery to display an extensive collection of contemporary Australian art. The concept is a north-south sequence of interlocking and skewed boxes in clashing primary colours.












'The Window' from the inside and the reason for the double height gallery. A long piece suspended from the ceiling in consonance with with a tall floor standing piece and some large paintings on he walls.

The 360-lot collection of Isabella and the late Jack Klompe the second-in-command to the high-profile chief executive founder of Lend Lease was sold in 2003 after its viewing in the Klompes' Gerrit Rietveld-style Queens Park house.
Compared with the capitalisation of Lend Lease at $4.19billion, the $330,000 spent on the collection (most purchases were for four-figure sums or less) is barely feed for the chooks.

Go to picture #4 and look at it.
The pointy window in the back wall is counterbalanced by the slash of light across the table in the foreground. Then the tiny table uses a pointed leg to cast a pointed shadow to divide that same slash of light. Coincidence? I don't think so.
To further entertain the eye there a white thing on the wall at left to balance window upper right. And a skylight nicked in a the top puts a proper lid on the picture.
It has been said that a picture composition is perfect if moving single element weakens the effect. Walter, I think you did perfect here.

Thanks Maris,

We're all engaged in finding the cosmos in the chaos but the task is made all the easier when architects and designers leave a trail of crumbs to follow.
