January 12, 2005: Epson is showcasing the high quality of inkjet prints in two public exhibitions of gallery quality prints produced on a range of its inkjet printers.
In one of the first major sponsorships of its kind, the company will support a two-year national gallery tour of images by award winning celebrity photographer, Robin Sellick which opens at theNewcastleRegionalArtGallery on January 14. Robin Sellick gained major recognition in 1990 by becoming the first person to win both of the highest awards for portraiture in Australia in the same year, through the Australian Institute of Professional Photography. “Epson presents Facing Robin Sellick” is an exciting collection of portraits featuring prominent actors, musicians, politicians, sports people and public figures photographed in Australia over the past ten years. Gallery quality large format photo prints – up to A0 in size – have been produced for the tour using Epson scanners and inkjet printers, ink and paper. Robin’s stunning larger than life size black and white portraits of celebrities such as You Am I, Danielle Spencer, Barry Humphries, Wendy Matthews, Jeannie Little, ‘Molly’ Meldrum and Kostya Tszyu will be on show throughout the national tour. This national tour is the first major exhibition of Australian photography in this genre. Portraits will be added throughout the tour and prints of selected images will be available for purchase
The second show displays images taken by Australian photographers and printed on Epson’s home and large-format inkjet printers using Epson inks and papers. It opens at the Epson Gallery in The Rocks in Sydney on 11 February and will run for two weeks. Details of Epson products can be found at www.epson.com.au.
