"Black fellas need to tell their stories". Gordon Syron
The DREAM
Black Fella's Dreaming Museum was the fantasy if you will of one man, Gordon Frederick Syron, one of 16 children. Gordon always dreamed a lot and early on became a top boxer. He won the NSW Golden Glove Award and he cannot recall the correct number of times, either 2 or 3 times. Gordon taught himself to paint and got tips from convicted forgers and studied library art books of old masters. He only paints in oils but has a few watercolours and acrylic pieces. Black Fella's Dreaming Museum is the dream of one man to keep special pieces of Aboriginal art.
