‘Looking Through Paintings’
by Martin Munz
Martin’s exhibition is all about Murwillumbah and the surrounding country. He paints Murwillumbah as it really is. He’s not interested in neat pretty views of Murwillumbah.
He revels in capturing the town’s human messiness, the infrastructure of everyday life, examining it and often having a quiet joke on the side.
In Martin’s paintings the clamour of human presence is everywhere.
Born in Melbourne, Martin started out as a lawyer. He then became a photographer, a teacher and an arts administrator.
Once retired he began painting full time. He has exhibited in the Northern Rivers as well as in Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne. His work is held in public and private collections.
Exhibition closes 16 November

A landscape is not something you look at but something you look through.
