Auguste Blackman, whose work is currently on display at the Minnamurra Café, has been so enamoured by the place it inspired him to whip up a whole new series for an exhibition.

As if by magic, his work soon became infected by Alice in Wonderland characters – perhaps the same magic that inspired his father Charles’ famous series in the Fifties.

He says he’s been painting like a Mad Hatter.

Details: Opens Fri 7 August, 6pm, Minnamurra Cafe. On show til 16 August.
