Artist Adrian Symes has spent the last few months working with members of the community on a massive art project called Under Lithgow.

The installation of the artwork last week required numerous volunteers who carefully installed the intricate work.

The sprawling canvas tells the story of a man, who, after suffering a life-threatening calamity, is reborn and goes on journey through the underworld discovering a hidden world beneath the surface of Lithgow.

The massive mixed media artwork wraps all the way around the library and needs to be seen in person to appreciate all the detail including tongue-in-cheek references to local landmarks and histories of the Lithgow area.

Under Lithgow is on exhibition all of November at the Lithgow Library so don’t miss out on this unique and creative odyssey.
