Contemporary realist painter Robert Clinch is giving Poland a taste of urban Melbourne.


Major landmarks of the Melbourne’s skyline such as the State Library dome, the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the old Collingwood brewery will be the centrepiece of an exhibition in Poland by Australian contemporary realist painter Robert Clinch.


Clinch's Fanfare for the Common Man depicts the Collingwood brew tower that was in the news last week for reasons related to its imminent renovation as part of a new apartment development.
