Four Rings

source: moustachemagazine

If you haven’t had an opportunity to get down to Spiro Grace Art Room’s current show, then this Thursday is your last chance. As part of his doctorate, Daniel Templeman created this large scale sculptural work named Four Rings. Though the event marks the end of the exhibition, it signals the launch of something new for the artist.

As an established public artist, much of Daniel’s work exists without a whole lot of credit, at least from the masses. You may be familiar with the huge metal sculpture outside the Brisbane Magistrate Court or perhaps the red beacon at the QLD/NSW border near Tweed Heads.

Well they, along with many of his other works, have been compiled by Daniel in a new book being launched this Thursday at SGAR, so don’t miss out on perhaps his most ambitious gallery work to date, plus the chance to check out some of his larger work.
