ColoresThis is the name of the latest group exhibition at the Red Opus Art Space. Commencing with a big opening on Friday 23rd July 2010, it shows off the work of 18 talented Adelaide artists. It’s part of the amazing and ginormous annual SALA Festival. For full details of the exhibition see my Coming events page. I am exhibiting 4 watercolours in the exhibition. Each of them depicts one of two of my favourite iconic South Australian locations in slightly different ways, and each shows how bodies of water mirror the colours of the sky and landscape, blending all into harmony. Naturally, all are welcome to attend. Meanwhile I have been working on another painting – a largish acrylic. Inspired by memories of a beautiful morning stroll along the Hindmarsh River in downtown Victor Harbor several months ago, I have sought, through colour, texture and composition, to bring a bit more expression into my work. I was really “in the zone” for this one. Here’s a quick snapshot of the very early stages of the work. While the glare from the flash is a bit annoying, it does highlight the energetic, even manic manner in which I have applied the paint.
Tune in next week for the finished work… |
