Exhibition by Local Artist Paul Robinson
Mon 21 August - Sat 30 September

The walls of Lithgow Library will soon be full of colour with an exhibition from late August until the end of September 2023 of the vibrant artworks of Paul Robinson.
Paul resides in the very picturesque village of Mt Victoria and is a regular Lithgow Library customer. Over the years Paul has had great success with his paintings and many are in private collections or with overseas collectors. Paul studied fine arts but he considers himself mainly self-taught.
Paul’s main influences have come from impressionism, fauvism, post impressionism and modern expressionism. With these influences it will be a very vibrant collection of paintings. This display is sure to make a statement and shouldn’t be missed.
The exhibition will be available for viewing during the Lithgow Library’s regular opening hours of 9.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday and 9.00am to 12.00pm Saturday. For more information on this event and other library events, head to the Lithgow Library webpage at www.counci.lithgow.com or follow Lithgow City Council Libraries.
Local artists are invited to exhibit their works in the Lithgow City Council Libraries free of charge. To make an exhibition booking contact the library on 6352 9100 or drop into the library and speak to a staff member.
