Backwoods
gallery
is
a
bricks
and
mortar
institution
housing
some
of
the
finest
Australian
cultural
artefacts
I
have
ever
set
my
eyes
upon.
It
was
more
than
a
pleasure
to
finally
make
my
way
to
this
Collingwood-based
art
gallery
in
a
brief
moment
of
respite
during
my
most
recent
pilgrimage
to
Melbourne.
Backwoods
gallery
is
quite
literally
back
in
the
middle
of
the
'woods'
of
Collingwood.
It
is,
as
I
have
often
found
with
such
gemstones
of
artistic
accomplishment,
a
little
off
the
beaten
track.
It
lacks
any
obvious
signage
or
the
hordes
of
riff-raff
that
one
might
expect
at
a
major
State
gallery.
Nonetheless
my
pilgrimage
here
was
undoubtedly
the
most
pleasant
moment
of
my
Backwoods
experience.
As
I
stepped
onto
the
pavement
at
the
listed
street
address,
I
was
visually
accosted
by
a
vision
from
above.
A
trio
of
beautiful,
bare-skinned
women
had
descended
from
the
seventh
tier
of
heaven
onto
the
most
incredible
medium
of
some
kind
of
acrylic
paint
on
brick.
Let
me
say,
that
while
I
outwardly
exclaimed
to
my
companions
that
the
sight
was
a
morally
depraved
and
distasteful
vision,
I
was
most
impressed,
confronted,
and
energised
by
the
ladies
before
me.
Such
brazen
art
as
this
is
a
rarity
in
this
day
and
age
and
I
thoroughly
hope
that
your
fine
gallery
shall
grow
and
propagate.
Kind
regards,
Mr
G
Patel.
