Four Views is a collection of new works depicting Orange landscapes, including museum director Mr Hammond’s abandoned orchards around Nashdale and scenery from the backroads around Bing.

“With plein air you are working outdoors in the elements,” he said.

“It forces you to respond directly to what you’re seeing – working with changing light and weather can make it very interesting.”

As alluded through the name of the exhibition, the work depict the four friend’s different perspectives and interpretations of the region.

Mr Macleod, Ms Malone and Mr Lopes work is mostly produced using oil paint on canvas and board, while Mr Hammond’s work is primarily watercolour and ink on paper.

The pieces size and scale also varies considerably, with the art works priced from $500 to $40,000.

Diners at Orange’s chef hat rated restaurant will see the works from the four celebrated artists on display until the finale of FOOD week.
