Over 70 works including prints, artist’s books, sketchbooks and printing plates from across Peter Kingston’s career are on display, in a moving tribute to the late artist.
Peter Kingston (1943–2022) lived and worked at the edge of Sydney Harbour. After a childhood spent at Parsley Bay, he settled in Lavender Bay among a community of artists and friends. From there, he observed harbour ferries, Luna Park and the Sydney Opera House in all seasons and weather. These were the subjects of his work, often incorporating his boat, the MV Anytime, and his dogs.
Kingston’s output ranged across drawing, printing, painting and filmmaking. A passion for Sydney, for environmental conservation and the preservation of built heritage never left him. Joyful, charming, and with a wry humour, his work celebrates the everyday aspects of our city. Yet there is a bittersweet element to his work. Peter Kingston often talked about ‘time as an artist’, his way of recognising the beauty and value that accumulates with age. His work captures things at risk in a world that is always upgrading, and expresses a nostalgic yearning for those places and characters now lost.

The Sydney Opera House is avant-garde, like a white sail moored by the sea, and it is very recognizable from a distance. Closer to look, each roof is covered with delicate tiles, and the sun will shine. Walking along the ring pier, you can enjoy the sea view and the beauty of the building from different angles. Even if you don&#39;t enter the theater, just standing outside to feel the artistic atmosphere is worth the fare.

Electronics & Appliances

Taronga Zoo is located on a hillside, and the animals can overlook Sydney Harbour. It is a rare zoo that attracts the same scenery as the animals. The park is not small and the terrain is undulating, but the route is clear and suitable for slowly strolling. There are many types of animals, especially local koalas, kangaroos and platypus, and the children are particularly excited to see. You can also overlook the entire harbour by taking the cable car, and the scenery is unexpected.

Blue Mountains National Park is a natural wonder. Eucalyptus trees in the park release gases to form blue mist. The Three Sisters Peak, Ginolan Cave and other magnificent landscapes are also rich in Aboriginal cultural heritage. The scenery here varies in seasons, and there are many ways to play, such as hiking, sightseeing and cable car rides. It can make people feel the beauty of pure nature away from the hustle and bustle.

珏琦

Compared with the domestic aquarium, it feels a little smaller and there is no dolphin sea lion performance. You can see sharks, salmon, etc., which is very friendly to children. There are designs for children to move forward in the railings, so that you can see all kinds of fish swimming through the glass more closely.

It was a very happy trip. I saw the place where the whales live. I was really happy. I will definitely go there again next time. It is worth it. Several friends said that they must come again next year.
