Liz Wells, Linda Darby, Janis Blyth, Nancy Dolan, Marilyn Chapman, "Fresh," 2019
acrylic, 12" x 12"
Opening reception April 18 7-9 pm.
5 artists - 5 FRESH perspectives from Chinatown history, cityscapes, nature, portraits and abstraction.
Victoria artists Janis Blyth, Marilyn Chapman, Linda Darby, Nancy Dolan and Liz Wells are excited to exhibit their collection of new work.
“FRESH” emerged from conversations between 5 artist friends talking about the seasons and how artists too have new seasons within their art practice. Although these artists follow different paths to produce their work, by meeting and sharing ideas they inspired each other to try new directions and novel colour palettes. The intention and process was to develop freshness in the work and to provide a cohesive exhibition.
Energy, humour and colour inspire the soulful reflections of life’s journey in the paintings Janis creates. Linda Darby’s lively and evocative paintings offer varied meanings and spatial perspectives. Emerging from exploration and discovery, Marilyn’s paintings are organic interpretations of feeling and experience. Liz works with concepts of memory, imagination and elements of nature using oil paints to communicate her vision. Nancy’s work is influenced by the cycles of the natural world and how we are subconsciously affected by those transitional changes.”
From images of Chinatown history, to cityscapes, nature, portraits and abstraction, each artist has interpreted the “FRESH” theme in their unique way, yet with a dynamic connection that weaves through all the artwork.
