Viva Italia! has arrived at the Bowery Theatre, showcasing a series of works based on the Italian travels of local artist John Barcham.
The exhibition is a collection of some of Barcham’s most esteemed pieces, all under the umbrella of his wife’s heritage and their trips together.
“The creation of this series of works spans about 10 years. They are my response as an artist to my involvement with Melbourne’s Sammachese (people who come from San Marco in Lamis) community as well as trips with my Sammachese wife to Italy and San Marco in Lamis in the beautiful Gargano region of the province of Puglia,” he said.
The exhibition is available for free public viewing from 9am to 5pm every weekday until September 7.
Ljubica Vrankovic visited the gallery to capture some of the art.
