#VISITBALLARAT
Exhibition by Deborah Klein
Artist Deborah Klein’s iconic ‘rear view portraits’ allude to the countless women who have fallen through the cracks of history. Her latest solo exhibition marks the first time this body of paintings and works on paper, created over the last six years, has been exhibited in Ballarat. A suite of diminutive watercolours reflects the artist’s continuing fascination with portrait miniatures and the intricately woven hair work associated with Victorian mourning and sentimental jewellery, key influences that continue through her larger, though still intimately-scaled paintings. Other works pay homage to women’s domestic and decorative handcrafts, several of them incorporating design elements from vintage hand-made doilies inherited from the artist’s late aunt, Ballarat-born Eileen Elizabeth Klein.
The Old Butchers Shop Gallery is a place to show the diversity and talent of Ballarat artists, with a different artist exhibiting each month.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities.
These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.
We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years.
As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
