An enormous thank you to Julie and the team at & Gallery who so expertly curated my solo exhibition back in July. What a wonderful exhibition installation.
This new body of work invites viewers to reach beyond wave forms, cloud forms and ranges of mist obscured mountains, beyond rocky summits, precipitous slopes and shadowy ravines, toward depths of field within which a spacious luminescence holds sway. Areas of light within these paintings lure viewers into mystical beyonds, where form ultimately gives way to a nurturing formlessness, and where objects, emotions and thoughts are replaced by a yearning for something essential, for an essence, for a luminous presence at our core.
Heartfelt gratitude also to all of the wonderful people who came out to help celebrate the launch of this exhibition in Sorrento.
It was wonderful to hear that one of the couples that bought a painting requested the name of the lighting system and the paint 'colour code' of the gallery wall. They were so taken with the display that they're going to replicate it in their own home.
