2 reasons for me to celebrate this month.
The first: My Line Art painting ‘Absolute Happiness’ part of my series ‘Alone Not Lonely’, was accepted into the Bath Society of Arts annual Exhibition which is on until the end of January 2025. I am delighted to be part of this uplifting Exhibition, do drop by if you are in Bath, the Victoria Gallery is right by Poultney Bridge, so nice and central.
My Line Art acrylic work delves into themes of solitude and self-reflection, often using bold expressive brushstrokes and a vibrant palette. The colours are influenced by my years living in Cape Town where I first began developing the Line Art side of my art. My ‘Alone Not Lonely’ series explore the complexities of solitude and hopefully invite the viewer into a conversation about mental health, emotional resilience and the beauty of quiet introspection.
The second reason to celebrate is the amazing Exhibition currently on at the Royal Academy in London by Michael Craig-Martin, a wonderful burst of colour and vibrancy which just blew my mind. I have only recently discovered his work (how did I not know him ?🤦♀️) in an article in The Times and I just saw my work in his, the PopArt style is ME. I got to the Exhibtion last week and heartily recommend it all, even down to the walls of the RA painted in bright colours to highlight MCM’s stunning work. I was intrigued to see how the artworks translated onto aluminium and also the line art sculptures in the foreground outside the RA. A truly wonderful Exhibition which has totally now inspired me in my own work. Go see it ! How I wish I could meet him, sit down with a coffee and discuss his life story and art process. Well, I can dream can’t I?
