Sir Leslie Thornton: Castlemaine Art Museum's First Blockbuster

CAM is excited to present a retrospective of Leslie Thornton's work. Thornton has developed a distinctive style of painting capturing contemporary life in central Victoria in all its uncanny strangeness. His carefully painted works have a surrealist humour and are often poignant and unsettling.

Opening Saturday 22 March, 2.00pm

The Jaara people of the Dja Dja Wurrung are the Custodians of the land and waters on which we live and work. We pay our respects to the Elders past, present and emerging. We extend these same sentiments to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander First Nations peoples.
