New paintings by Kathy Barber - 7 September to 30 September
Award-winning Point Chevalier-based artist Kathy Barber’s paintings have always evoked a sense of place, but these new works are somewhere we can’t put our finger on. There’s a desire to widen perceptions – to conjure up limitless skies hinged to strange horizons.
Large sweeping gestures affectionately coined as sidewinders flood all the works. Be they scribbled, blurred or carefully over-brushed, they invite us to weave through the layers of colour. These paintings are a magnificent leap of faith, like sinking into the unknown and bizarre world of a Murakami novel where we accept the unreality as reality and go along for the ride.
