Margaretann Bennett RSW - New Paintings


 
The Margaretann Bennett exhibition got off to a great start on Sunday.  We have 33 beautiful paintings gracing the walls of the gallery, transforming the space into a new and wonderful world.
 
 
 

Snow Flurry, Dumgoyne

 
 
The exhibition does feature some beautiful landscapes and still lifes, but the majority of the exhibition is figurative, something that Margaretann has been focussing on for the last few years.  
 
 
These range from large paintings through to lots of small works.

Each painting is a glimpse into a world of a different character that tempts you in with an unflinching gaze. 
 



   



   



Each painting is fabulously titled, giving you a clue to the character's back story.  The whole exhibition with titles and sizes can be viewed online.  You can also see what's already sold and what's not!

Coming Up . . . .

We are delighted to be getting ready to have a second solo exhibition with the inimitable Margaretann Bennett RSW.




The conspirators



Our last solo exhibition with Margaretann was in 2011 and we can't wait for the gallery to be transformed again.




Gauntlets



Margaretann is one of those artists whose work is unmistakable.  It's bold, beautiful and loaded with subtext.




Tangled

 
 

The exhibition previews on Sunday 19 October and from the paintings that have already arrived at the gallery, it's going to be stunning.
 
 
 
 
The Eccentric


Until then, our solo exhibition with Joyce Gunn Cairns continues until this Sunday.  For more information, click on the link:
