As part of a series of events to mark the 20th year of Australian diplomatic representation in Brunei Darussalam, an art exhibition by David Kelly called "Horizon" was launched yesterday afternoon by Mr Allaster Cox at the high commissioner's residence.

"Horizon," which will be displayed until October 19 this Sunday, is jointly inspired by the vast Australian landscape and dense jungles of Borneo.

Over forty pieces are offered for a reasonable price, including the Rainforest, Penan Jungle, Nepabunna, Whiteoak and Black Ridge.

David Kelly, Director of Art Department in JIS, has stayed in the Sultanate for about six years.

In an interview, he revealed that he started drawing since he was in secondary education.

He loves to draw from what he feels and his emotion.

He said that it is hard to put a price on artworks and they are not done for profit.

Therefore, costs have been based on effort and time put into the respective painting.
