Recent Exhibition

DAWN TO DUSK – GEORGIE GALL

Georgie Gall’s last exhibition at The Hive was in 2019. We are delighted to welcome her back with a new Exhibition of tranquil paintings, “Dawn to Dusk” exploring the waterways in the changing light of day’. Expect her signature textured impasto works, with a softer palette that highlights her love of the coast and the inland lakes and waterways.

In an inaugural event, the “Artist of the Month“, we are proud to support The Royal Melbourne Hospital Foundation with funds raised from the Exhibition contributing towards new equipment in the Ophthalmology Department. This cause is close to Georgie’s heart. Her work already graces the walls of the ICU Waiting Room to create a calm and contemplative atmosphere there. This initiative further builds these ties and aims to support this worthy cause. We thank the Royal Melbourne Hospital Foundation for their support of the Exhibition “Dawn to Dusk” in return.
