Clare Brodie: The Soul of Solitude.
With her last two Australian shows selling out in hours, we’re very excited to announce a new show of work by Sydney based painter Clare Brodie.
This beautiful solo show of new paintings is a breath of fresh air, an instant escape from the stress and tension of modern life. They offer the viewer an instant gateway to welcome solitude reflection. Those New Zealand collectors who are lucky enough to already have one in their collections tell us they are much loved works that can instantly set the tone of an entire room.
At first glance, these paintings offer a soft and subtle connection to nature; with each colour exhaustively tested and mixed again and again until the abstracted forms resonate as a unified and powerful whole. But they are so much more.
Inspired by Op-art and the colour field painters, these gently abstracted works begin with careful studies of actual landscapes surrounding Clare’s Sydney home. These careful studies - often taken across the span of a few days in the same location - are then transposed from sketches to full works.
We’re honoured to host Clare’s debut gallery exhibition, and it’s worth knowing that all of these beautiful paintings have been created especially for us here in New Zealand.
The show opens on Saturday 7 May, and everyone is welcome to the opening event from 11-5pm. Car parking at the gallery. χPN
