'HANS - A LIFE'
ROBERT HANNAFORD
SALA 2019
As the inaugural recipient of the AME Bale Award (1969) Hannaford asked Hans, a local character, living on the streets, to sit for him. This exhibition documents the extraordinary process of a young, 25 year old artist, teaching himself the skills of his craft by intense, direct and repeated observation.

ALISON MITCHELL
SALA 2018
An array of small paintings of quiet times. Small moments of quiet reflection. Inside. Outside. All directly from life.

SALA 2017
An exhibition of works by Robert Hannaford and Alison Mitchell celebrating the tenth year since the opening of the Riverton Light Gallery in 2007.
The underlying theme is the consistent return of each artist to the same subject matter over a number of years - a recurring exploration and scrutiny using a diversity of methods.

‘BY THE WAY’
ROBERT HANNAFORD + ALISON MITCHELL
SALA 2015
Travelling with an artist's eye through unfamiliar landscape brings fresh vision, impulse and freedom to these drawings, paintings and ruminations.
Spanning the past decade, this exhibition is an intimate view of the art of travel - seeing, recording, reviewing. Created as a 'by product', usually travelling to a portrait commission, or a Big (h)Art production, these works document the insatiable desire to record the passing world.
02/
"A SELECTION OF NEW WORKS"
ALISON MITCHELL
2013
Oils from the studio, 'en plein air' paintings of Tasmania and the desert, and figures in watercolour.
01/
'RETURN OF THE BLACK CHICKS'
ROBERT HANNAFORD
10 portraits of inspirational Aboriginal women won back in a Supreme Court legal battle.
Hannaford was asked to paint the portraits as part of the 'Black Chicks Talking' project initiated by Bain Stewart and Leah Purcell. Unfortunately ownership of the art work was questioned and Hannaford resorted to the law in order to gain rightful possession. This is the first time that the group of paintings have been shown together since the court case.
Portraits include Deborah Mailman, Rachel Perkins, Kathryn Hay, Frances Rings, Sharon Finnen, Cilla Malone, Lisa Fraser-Gooda, Tammy Williams, Roseanna Angus and Leah Purcell.
Robert has subsequently donated the paintings to the Tweed River Gallery.
