HOMEGROUND!
ANNE ZAHALKA

An exploration and celebration of the citizens and suburbs of Sydney with its diverse and colourful communities.

This body of work is a contemporary take on the classic KB, Resch’s & Toohey’s advertising posters which adorned the walls of pubs from the 30’s – the 70’s in New South Wales. Based on these original pub paintings that idealised Australian sport and leisure, Anne has reworked them to comment on their cultural stereotyping and to reflect the changes in demographic and lifestyle. Homeground! is an exploration and celebration of the citizens and suburbs of Sydney with its diverse and colourful communities.
