After the Rain After the Rain – Celebrating the Sunshine
Art Piece Gallery s pleased to present After the Rain, a group exhibition of paintings by artists Ivonne Mace, Lei Lei Joy, Heidi Tansey and Susan Simonini.
After the Rain was conceived in the middle of the heaviest, most concentrated period of rain the shire has seen for several years. These four artists and nature lovers could not fail to be influenced by the fact as they celebrate four months of rain with paintings steeped in the landscape. For Ivonne Mace, rain provides an opportunity for quietude, introspection and solitude. You can almost feel the shudder of Ivonne’s delicate and sensitive birds as they sing out their relief and shake off the rain. Sunshine has never been so welcome.
Lei Lei Joy who lives in some of the shire’s most flood prone hills wonders where the animals go when the rain just won’t stop. The sheen on her paintings is reminiscent of the goat’s waterproof coat.The joy we feel when the rain stops and we can take in nature at its most lush and luxuriant is palpable in many of these paintings.
Heidi Tansey revels in the abundance that rain brings – her trees bursting with exuberant colour and Susan Simonini’s figures dance and sing amidst the rich and colourful flora.
After the Rain opens at the Art Piece Gallery, 105 Stuart Street, Mullumbimby with a preview evening at 6pm on Friday 16th May and runs until Tuesday 3rd June 2008.
