The G Contemporary in Hastings Street is delighted to welcome renowned British artist Gareth Edwards RWA for his inaugural visit to Australia to join us in Noosa for his second solo exhibition, The Atmospherics of Light.
For collectors and admirers of Edwards’ work, this is a fabulous opportunity to meet the artist, who paints out of the renowned Porthmeor Studios in St Ives, Cornwall. These studios have been the creative spaces for many famous artists throughout history. It will be fascinating to hear the artist’s thoughts on our own unique and equally beautiful landscape and light here in Noosa.
In the artist’s own words…
“The Atmospherics of Light is a show of paintings each of which reflects a singular mood; moments of feeling and emotion that are half remembered and partly imagined, made to manifest in these paintings by evoking specific light effects.
As in a theatre where light creates a mood within which the drama unfolds, these paintings also reveal their own quiet dramas, laments and yearnings that are alloyed into the layers of painted light evoking different atmospheres and moods a kind of emotional weather that we begin to recognise as we lay down our own layers of experience year in and year out.
Each of us can rest with these paintings joining in with their atmospheres that are both within us and without us, past moments and present tenses.“
Gareth Edwards The Atmospherics of Light exhibition will be on display at The G Contemporary, 6/32 Hastings Street from 7-21 August, opening night 10 August.
