GOYA GALLERIES AUSTRALIA PRESENTS
Artists that Roared

Peter Ferguson, Judi Singleton, Richard Birmingham,

Goya Galleries of Melbourne Australia presents a world debut of a collectible selection of Australian artists from an art movement called "Roar"! Each of the artists confidently emerged onto the Australian art scene in the early 80's as young innovative painters having established their own "artist run space/gallery" which they entitled "Roar" studios. The group of painters quickly became famous for their rebellious, youthfully aggressive, bold and alternative art. The Roar name was a roaring Tasmanian Tiger designed to make one take notice and was used as a stylistic pun, a play on words and was so entitled to bring attention to these artists, "raw" with youth and energy. Roar created a gallery and art movement, which, in effect made lasting changes to the way artists approach galleries and develop their own paths.

Since then, their work has been highly regarded by collectors and curators alike. Twenty-five years later, their current pieces have suitably evolved maintaining their trademark, bold colors and themes that attributed to their success of the Roar movement in their homeland and which now is calling for attention from an International audience during this upcoming tour.

Goya Galleries, with a representative in New York, Leslie Goldsmith of Art Associates International, LLC are looking forward to the introduction of this extraordinary art movement by actively exhibiting both Nationally and internationally.
