The exhibition will feature at the Eltham Library Community Gallery from Thursday 3 October until Monday 28 October.
Opening Saturday October 5th from 2 pm until 4pm.
Summer’s Dream, an exhibition of
oil paintings by local artist Debbie Robinson entices viewers to leave behind
the chaos of modern life.
Debbie
Robinson’s work concerns the figure in the landscape; exploring themes of the
ritual and spiritual, a sense of wonder and the search for mythical paradise.
Composition is an important factor in her work as is decorative pattern and the
contrast between three dimensional figures amongst two dimensional landscape
elements. Her figures are frequently absorbed in their activity, unaware of the
spectator’s presence whilst the landscape acts as a stage for human drama in
which there is no clear division between what is real and what is imagined.
Debbie
has exhibited in group and solo shows in various galleries around Australia and
has been a finalist in prestigious competitions such as The Shirley Hannan National Portrait Prize, The Nillumbik Prize and
the Kilgour Prize for figurative
painting. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from RMIT and a Masters
of Art Curatorship from the University of Melbourne whereat she was awarded the
Cultural Connotations Art Curatorship Award.
