Once the home and studio of artist Margo and Gerald Lewers, the gallery site, was, as it is today - a place of lively debate, artistic creation and exhibitions at the foot of the Blue Mountains. The gallery is located on River Road beside the banks of the Nepean River. Once called Emu Island, Emu Plains was considered to be the land’s end, but as the home of artist Margo and Gerald Lewers it became the place for new beginnings. Creating a home founded on the principles of modernism, the Lewers lived, worked and entertained like-minded contemporaries set on fostering modernism as a holistic way of living.

  • List of Works
    4 JANUARY – 22 MARCH 2020 Margaret's Gift acknowledges and celebrates the generous legacy of Margaret Olley AC (1923-2011). Olley was a preeminent artist who had more than 90 solo exhibitions during her lifetime. Using funds from her own exhibition sales Olley would purchase fellow artists works, which she would then in turn donate to numerous galleries. She was also an entrepreneur who invested wisely in residential properties, that in turn brought in a steady income. This put her in a unique position in which she could, not only focus on her own artistic practice but she had the time and means to paint, travel, acquire and donate. The working relationships and life-long friendships she developed with gallery curators, directors and fellow artists are testament to her unwavering support of art and culture within this country. Throughout her lifetime, Olley continued to donate and provide funds to various institutions. This approach enabled institutions to acquire significant works of art. Many of these works are now considered collection highlights, spanning national, state, regional and university art collections. The Margaret Olley Art Trust was established in 1990. This legacy continues today, with the ongoing support of the trustees of the Margaret Olley Art Trust, through both donation of work or funds allocated to a specific project. This exhibition is the second in a series of three that has the generous support of the Margaret Olley Art Trust. Curated by Renée Porter, the exhibition presents over 60 works from collections in Queensland, New South Wales and the ACT and include works by European masters, Australian artists and ceramics from Papua New Guinea which were her earliest known gifts.

A celebration of life, art and exhibition This year Penrith Regional Gallery & The Lewers Bequest celebrates 75 years of art practice and exhibition on this site. In 1942, Gerald Lewers purchased this property to use as an occasional residence while working nearby as manager of quarrying company Farley and Lewers. A decade later, the property became the family home of Gerald and Margo Lewers and their two daughters, Darani and Tanya. It was here the family pursued their individual practices as artists and welcomed many Sydney artists, architects, writers and intellectuals. At this site in Western Sydney, modernist thinking and art practice was nurtured and flourished. Upon the passing of Margo Lewers in 1978, the daughters of Margo and Gerald Lewers sought to honour their mother’s wish that the house and garden at Emu Plains be gifted to the people of Penrith along with artworks which today form the basis of the Gallery’s collection. Received by Penrith City Council in 1980, the Neville Wran led state government supported the gift with additional funds to create a purpose built gallery on site. Opened in 1981, the gallery supports a seasonal exhibition, education and public program.

  • Woodlines – Design: Naja Utzon Popov
    Woodlines – Design: Naja Utzon Popov DESCRIPTION The Woodlines Rug Collection draws inspiration from nature and a study of wood and its attributes. Naja Utzon Popov has zoomed in on countless lengths of wood, magnifying the unique characteristics that contain a wealth of details and express the wood's character. The outcome - a familiar wood pattern presented on another material - creates a new expression with clear links to the source. The rugs stand out as elegant, fine-crafted works that add to a room's personality. Hand-knotted from wool, they feature long pile with a soft and luxurious feel. The rugs' tight weave makes them easy to clean and ensures that the pile remains straight and the pattern intact, even with heavy use. The collection consists of five unique designs in black, white and charcoal, and is available in three different sizes: 80x220 cm, 170x240 cm & 200x300 cm. THE DESIGNER Naja Utzon Popov inherited her creative genes from her grandfather, Jørn Utzon, a Danish architect known for designing the iconic Sydney Opera House in Australia; her mother, prominent Danish artist Lin Utzon; and her father, acclaimed Australian architect Alex Popov. Naja's childhood years in Denmark have always been an important source of inspiration for her work, as were the years she spent in Australia studying drawing, painting and etching at the Julian Ashton Art School. After moving to England, Naja continued her formal artistic training at the University of Westminster School of Media Arts and Design. Today, she lives in her native Denmark and works out of her studio in Copenhagen.
