Leap of Faith Open Studio & Art Show
How did I “leap” from depicting my impressions of Antarctica in 2020 to painting head spaces? I was in a “mood“ and I painted it out into a picture of chaos. Working on this, I saw I had formed the beginnings of a large head shape. This led to painting a series of human heads which can reveal different emotions according to the observer.
I would like to hear what you observe during my Open Studio May 22nd and 23rd, 10am - 5pm. 235 Oaia Road.
The Group Art Show at the Muriwai Surf Club is on this same weekend with the Open Studios Arts Trail.
