Two-Way Street is an exhibition honouring the relationship between mentor and mentee; between the late and accomplished painter, Philip Trusttum, and his two mentees, Morks and Luca McDonnell. Where Philip gave through his experience as a full-time artist for over six decades, both Morks and Luca gave back through their willingness to learn, their respect, energy and enthusiasm. Both artists were working with Philip right up until he suddenly passed, 4th March 2026. The exhibition promises to be, in true Trusttum-style, a celebration of life - full to the brim with vim and vigour!
Opening: Thursday 7th May, 5:30-7:30pm
Work: Philip Trusttum, Alphabet Series, (Detail) 2001. Acrylic on canvas
