Abundant
G1
Abundant is an exciting contemporary art exhibition by local emerging artist, Joanna Darby. Joanna was selected as a finalist in last years prestigious Mosman Art Prize, and her work was also exhibited in Parliament House during October as part of the 2008 ‘Create to Advocate’ exhibition.
Abundant has been inspired by faith and significant places, and presents a visual metaphor for ‘dwelling in high places’, both emotionally and spiritually. Simple line work and exuberant colour typify these works that Joanna describes as expressionistic landscapes. The work is characterised by the repetition of cell-like shapes, scattered over the images like communities of people, clumps of trees and shrubs, beds of flowers, resulting in a highly patterned aesthetic.
The celebratory images often imply an aerial view of the landscape and are rhythmic and energetic. The works range from large acrylic paintings on board (up to 2.7m),
to miniature framed works on paper.
