Braving the extreme heat, the Shepparton community showed no hesitation and plenty of perspiration as they gathered for the grand opening of Tank’s Art Gallery on Corio St.
News journalist Taylah Baker mingled with the crowd, speaking with artists and art lovers about their favourite artists or styles that they feel are picture-perfect.

My favourite artist is a lady called Tamara de Lempicka.
She does a version of cubism and realism, and I love the bold colours she uses.

I love Renaissance art. It inspired me to do my own style of realism.

Tank, because what’s sicker than surrealism in Shepp?

I love Tank’s art and being able to support local art.
I actually had a piece of artwork made for my mum’s 80th birthday by Tank, and I’ve collected a few other pieces of his.

I’m not much of an art buff, but I like the old classic Western-style landscapes.
Like Albert Namatjira’s work, with rivers and cattle running through them.
