Local artists Julie St Aubyn and Peter Aland come together to show their wonderfully colourful work during December, where each painting is a unique response to the artist’s place in this world.
A lifelong observer, Julie engages play as an integral element in the making of her work. As she progresses, the strongest images remain and a theme emerges.
Peter paints by responding to life’s confusions and solutions. His work for this exhibition began as aspirations during lockdowns, only to become darker during the floods. He paints aiming for a peaceful and contented inner and outer environment.
Julie and Peter’s show “Happy Places” is in the Carriage Room at the Pomona Railway Station Gallery from 3 December to 4 January.
Meanwhile in the gallery’s Banana Shed, Jo Gabe’s solo exhibition “Land, Sea and Sky” is on show.
Jo uses her experiences of living and travelling abroad to capture the diversity, beauty and intensity of our ever-changing planet. Gallery visitors can see her work from 26 November to 22 December.
In the lead-up to Christmas, the gallery is again putting on a display of smaller, well-priced works from a wide variety of artists and artisans, all making fabulous gifts. The works are in the Signal Room from 29 November until Christmas.
Pomona Railway Station Gallery is at 10 Station Street Pomona. Opening hours are 10am-4pm Tuesday to Friday and 10am to 2pm Saturday and Sunday.
