Art in the Gallery Annex
2013年12月27日
The Takamatsu City Art Gallery is a gem and one of the very best I have seen anywhere in the world. I’ve spent a lot of time in different galleries and the atmosphere in this one is very conducive to the appreciation of fine art.

This is a gallery that has been built in the very heart of Takamatsu which says much about the priorities of culture above commerce and sensible city planning. It is absolutely always a pleasure to drop in.
The internal environment of the gallery has been carefully thought out to work with the outside landscape and in a busy city provide some rest for the mind.
Upstairs on the 2nd floor is a public library with a very wide selection of reading materials on modern art, contemporary Japanese art, Western & oriental art. It really is quite wonderful to sit here and browse in the very comfortable surroundings.
But this time I want to talk about the annex in the gallery which holds exhibitions year round for the different art groups here in the city. Access to the annex just inside the south entrance and the admission is free.
I’ve always been very impressed with the very high standard of painting by amateur artists in Japan. This is self evident when visiting the many exhibitions in the annex, so when visiting
Takamatsu and the gallery please take the time to both visit the annex and enjoy the meditative and relaxing atmosphere.

He has been involved with youth education exchanges between Japan and Australia for many years.
Pat has been many things in his colorful life including a seaman, helmsman, welder, carpenter, traffic warden, scholarship/studentship winner at the university of Tasmania, staff at the Australian Embassy in London to name but a few. Pat has far too many hobbies which include tennis, playing jazz flutes and saxes, riding bicycles with the Takamatsu Cycling Club all of which his long-suffering family tolerate. Recently he's become interested in painting again. His wife wishes he would put more time in to helping around the house and the garden which he artfully avoids ..."
