Romancing The Skull Art Exhibition opens today in Ballarat

Who doesn’t love themes of death and the beauty of the afterlife when it comes to art?

Over the years, the skull has fascinated generations of artists. Now, The Art Gallery of Ballarat proudly presents Romancing the Skull – a look at the skull in art and why we continue to be so enamoured with this iconic symbol.

You will find more than 20 prints by Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada (long associated with the Day of the Dead) will be exhibited to Aussie audiences for the first time, plus stacks of artworks from local folks, including Sam Jinks, Rona Green and Ben Quilty.

The exhibition runs from Saturday 14 October 2017 to Sunday 28 January 2018 at The Art Gallery of Ballarat (located at 40 Lydiard Street North).

As a sweet treat, anyone with a skull tattoo gets discounted entry! You beauty!
