This weekend the opportunity arose to spend time at an @ozshotmag and @visitbrisbane event. 3 areas were on offer to the group for photo opportunities. Not open to the public, the areas are available for functions or dinners.
Situated in the old Peters Ice Cream Factory, the Bromley room is a temporary display which will end in a few short months. Cafes and restaurants abound in West End, Some quirky some themed, but whatever your taste West End has something for you, check around each corner and down the lane way, you ever know what you will find.
After wandering through the area on this fabulous Brisbane Saturday, it was time to enter the cool airconditioned building. The interesting eclectic collection of sculptures, paintings blended with the graffiti art, plants and unexpected pieces strategically placed throughout the rambling warehouse.
Everywhere there was something to see. This collection has been put together by the husband and wife Bromley team, who have ensured history has been preserved with pieces which relate back to the Peters Ice Cream Factory days. David Bromley used to work for Peters in those days, instrumental in adding colour to the factory trucks.
Every direction you look something different catches your eye. There are paintings so large you feel like you are part of the scenery and wait for the artwork to spring to life.Standing in front of this piece, you are drawn to the other side of the road, and feel obliged to check for traffic at these lights.
So many forms and uses of different types of materials here. There are ships, planes, trains and everything in between. One can only be mesmerised by the amount of thought and time that has gone into everything here.
After roaming around the expansive area downstairs, it was time to venture up the steep stairs to check out the apartment and rooftop areas. Well worth the effort!
Look everywhere as everything is different. Faces peer out from all directions, some shy some bold. Colours change from solid to broken, bright to subdued. The back wall on the apartment strikes you as soon as you walk in.
If you ever have the opportunity to attend this venue, then take it. Otherwise, check out the Bromley art pieces sometime.
Thanks go to the crew at Ozshot Mag & Visit Brisbane who made this possible as well as to the artists who contributed to this awesome display.
