It's not everyday that you get the chance to meet and chat with one of your all-time rock heroes face-to-face, but midday on Saturday saw my little bloke Byron and I briefly hanging out with the one and only Deniz Tek and his lovely partner Anne at his exhibition opening at Sydney's Hand Of Law Gallery .
Deniz was/is in town for a few gigs and to present some of his latest paintings. A good friend of mine, Peter Wise has done some photographic work for Deniz on some of his solo albums and I was happy to chat to Deniz about that, some recent adventures of his State-side as well as his work and the reissue Radio Birdman posters by Warwick Gilbert available at the Gallery.
Always a man of action, (I'll resist the obvious Flamin' Groovies one-liner!), Deniz' work ranges from the representational to examples clearly influenced by modernist abstraction and the action-painting of the late great Jackson Pollock.
As my own digs are already chock full of art nd objects already, I opted to purchase just three small works done on ceramic tiles by Deniz as a memento - two organic abstracts and the Birdman Logo.
Big thanks to Deniz, Anne and Dave from Hand Of Law Gallery!!
