The Town of Mosman Park is proud to see our thriving local arts scene with the upcoming exhibition New York by internationally acclaimed artist Desmond Freeman, hosted right here in our community at Gallows Gallery from 12 to 29 June 2025.

This extraordinary solo exhibition invites visitors on a visual journey through the architectural wonders and vibrant street life of New York City. Known for his masterful pencil drawings and richly coloured paintings, Freeman brings the energy and diversity of the Big Apple to life through works that are as technically impressive as they are emotionally resonant.

A trained architect and urban sketcher, Freeman captures both sweeping cityscapes and the finer details of New York’s historic facades with equal precision and heart. Among the exhibition’s highlights are large-scale pencil drawings of Manhattan’s iconic blocks, alongside expressive paintings that radiate the city’s dynamic atmosphere.

Gallows Gallery Director Kathryn Stafford describes the exhibition as a special opportunity for our community to connect with world-class art:

Desmond Freeman’s New York series offers a compelling dialogue between structure and spirit. These works are more than representations—they’re meditations on the soul of a city that has inspired artists for generations. We’re thrilled to bring this international perspective to our Perth audience.

The Town warmly invites residents and visitors alike to attend the exhibition launch on 12 June from 6:30pm to 8:30pm—a wonderful chance to enjoy a night of art, conversation, and community. RSVPs are welcome via info@gallowsgallery.com.

In addition, an artist floor talk will take place on Sunday, 22 June at 3pm , offering deeper insight into Freeman’s artistic process and the inspirations behind his work.

Complementing the exhibition is the release of Freeman’s latest book, New York: Impressions in Ink – a signed and numbered, 96-page full-colour coffee table book that continues his beloved Impressions series. It will be available for purchase throughout the exhibition.

We are proud to see events like this enriching the cultural fabric of Mosman Park and encourage everyone to come along and experience this celebration of art, architecture, and urban storytelling.
