CA Gallery is delighted to present Florilegium, the latest solo exhibition by Helena Jackson-Lloyd.
This exhibition will showcase recent paintings by Jackson-Lloyd, a gathering of abstract botanical works on canvas, running 20 October to 10 November.
Helena Jackson-Lloyd is a visual artist based on Kabi Kabi Country (Sunshine Coast) whose practice explores the concept of ‘land-scapes’.
Formatively educated in Visual Arts at Queensland’s QUT, Jackson-Lloyd has expressed deep curiosity for ‘wild scapes’ – raw, natural places, wild and untended.
Her latest collection of work, Florilegium, emerged following two recent residency experiences- one immersed in a Finnish summer at Arteles art residency exploring her own connection to this landscape through matrilineal heritage. Earlier this year Jackson-Lloyd spent three weeks at Tanks Art Centre, situated in Cairns, tropical North Queensland. The result is a series of bold, abstract works that reflect these experiences in wild spaces captured on canvas as a visual anthology of botanical encounters.
Working primarily on canvas with acrylics and inks, she builds layered compositions through expressive mark-making and vivid contrasts.
