Over 70 works including prints, artist’s books, sketchbooks and printing plates from across Peter Kingston’s career are on display, in a moving tribute to the late artist.
Peter Kingston (1943–2022) lived and worked at the edge of Sydney Harbour. After a childhood spent at Parsley Bay, he settled in Lavender Bay among a community of artists and friends. From there, he observed harbour ferries, Luna Park and the Sydney Opera House in all seasons and weather. These were the subjects of his work, often incorporating his boat, the MV Anytime, and his dogs.
Kingston’s output ranged across drawing, printing, painting and filmmaking. A passion for Sydney, for environmental conservation and the preservation of built heritage never left him. Joyful, charming, and with a wry humour, his work celebrates the everyday aspects of our city. Yet there is a bittersweet element to his work. Peter Kingston often talked about ‘time as an artist’, his way of recognising the beauty and value that accumulates with age. His work captures things at risk in a world that is always upgrading, and expresses a nostalgic yearning for those places and characters now lost.

The Wandering Architects

The Sydney Opera House isn&rsquo;t just an icon&mdash;it&rsquo;s a masterpiece that takes your breath away up close. The soaring sails, crafted with impossible precision, glow at sunrise and dazzle under spotlights at night. Inside, the acoustics are as brilliant as the architecture, whether you catch a symphony or just take a tour. More than a photo op, it&rsquo;s a living work of art&mdash;where every angle reveals new genius. Utterly unmissable.

Taronga Zoo is located on a hillside, and the animals can overlook Sydney Harbour. It is a rare zoo that attracts the same scenery as the animals. The park is not small and the terrain is undulating, but the route is clear and suitable for slowly strolling. There are many types of animals, especially local koalas, kangaroos and platypus, and the children are particularly excited to see. You can also overlook the entire harbour by taking the cable car, and the scenery is unexpected.

Blue Mountains National Park is a natural wonder. Eucalyptus trees in the park release gases to form blue mist. The Three Sisters Peak, Ginolan Cave and other magnificent landscapes are also rich in Aboriginal cultural heritage. The scenery here varies in seasons, and there are many ways to play, such as hiking, sightseeing and cable car rides. It can make people feel the beauty of pure nature away from the hustle and bustle.
