Lorna Grear at Flinders Street Gallery, 61 Flinders Street, Surryhills, NSW
OPENING SATURDAY 25 NOVEMBER 2023 4- 6 pm
It’s my 3rd solo exhibition at Flinders Street Gallery- the majority of this work started on my sabbatical last year and has carried through to this year. Mostly are small paintings, paintings which I have been able to carry through the bush – some painted directly en plein air, others, painted in the studio from memory.
Paintings are from Gundungurru and Wiradjuri Country, (Charbon and Southern Highlands); acrylic, gouache and oil on plywood.
It was a good time for me, painting and exploring different rhythms and emotions. Other the years, getting to know different areas of the bush, has taught me many things, the change in seasons; looking at and feeling the wind, hearing birdsong and observing light. I understand how fortunate we are, living in this vast and beautiful country whilst there is so much turmoil in the world.
If you can’t make it to the opening, I’ll be at the gallery on Fridays and Saturdays; 12- 4pm if you’d like to say hi, grab a coffee or just a look… or call in to the gallery at other times to see the show; Wed- Sat, 11- 6pm. Show continues until Saturday 16 November.
Peace. x Lorna
