Cornish, who originally hails from Canberra but now lives and works in Sydney, will put on display new works created off the back of his (Not) Welcome To Bondi<\/em> mural, which attracted widespread media attention and public support in recent times. The depiction of heavily armed Border Patrol officers is an overt comment on Australia\u2019s treatment of asylum seekers.<\/p>\n

Alongside this will be works from his previous exhibition The Sea<\/em>, which reflect his first-hand experiences in war-torn Syria, a region he\u2019s visited three times in the past three years. At once captivating and heartbreaking, his images of this modern-day conflict and the widespread toll it imparts are snapshots of the \u2018new normal\u2019 that innocent civilians now face in everyday life.<\/p>\n

Have A Go<\/em> is a reminder that behind the fleeting images of warfare we see on our screens, there\u2019s a human price being paid.<\/p>\n

Opening night for Have A Go<\/em> is Thursday 29 August from 6-9pm, with drinks supplied by Capital Brewing and live music from a local DJ.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, 31 August, a special panel talk will be held in the Gallery from 1:00-2:00pm, followed by a Q&A with the artist. This event is free of charge to the public.<\/p>\n

The exhibition will be open daily from 10am-6pm weekdays and 12pm-5pm on weekends until Sunday, 29 September. Admission is free and all artworks are for sale.<\/p>\n

Have A Go<\/em> is curated and presented by aMBUSH Gallery.<\/p>\n
