The Atmospherics of Light exhibition is up and looking stunning!! We can’t wait to welcome renowned British artist Gareth Edwards RWA for his inaugural visit to Australia from St Ives, Cornwall to Noosa for his second solo exhibition.

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, UK. These studios have been the creative spaces for many famous artists throughout history. It will certainly 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.”

If you are in Noosa this weekend please join the Gallery Directors and the artist Gareth Edwards at The G Contemporary, Hastings Street on Saturday 10 August from 5pm to 7pm to celebrate the exhibition’s official opening. You can RSVP and review the catalogue of Edwards’ new collection below…
