Harvey Galleries cordially invite you and your guest to join us and John McIntosh to unveil his latest exhibition.
The exhibition derives its name from Douglas Adams classic book. The creation of an improbable world which made real the bizaar, was a search for meaning in a world where nothing we could invent is likely to rival the bizaar-ness of our ‘real’ world, I like the adventure of discovering what emerges out of the canvas, ‘to paint carefully that which doesn’t exist’, I wish to hand you the viewer a paradox, to show you real-ness and also deny it at the same time. John McIntosh.

Harvey Galleries was founded by the Harvey family in 1994 with an eye to establish a dynamic and inclusive contemporary art space on the North Shore of Sydney. For almost three decades we have expanded our reach to over three gallery locations and an ever expanding stable of the best artists Australia has to offer.
Harvey Galleries acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which our galleries stand. The Guringai people (Seaforth), the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney), and the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation (Melbourne).
We pay our respect to Elders past and present.
Password and the invitation to view will be sent to you as soon as the exhibition preview opens.
