Kinetics - Solo Exhibition by Ilma Mitchell
Sept 20 Oct 11 2009
Wellington artist Ilma Mitchell’s latest solo exhibition features striking, abstract acrylics on canvas. On this occasion - using a dramatic limited palette, Ilma has let her ongoing passion for colour and texture “run away with her”.
Ilma Mitchell is a Wellington artist with great amounts of creative energy and these paintings are an exploration and expression of her creativity. Ilma has several times and under three different names reinvented herself. She has painted and experimented with traditional landscapes and three distinct styles of abstracts of which 'Kinetics' is the latest. Here her work has exploded with line colour and texture in such an expressive style that you can just tell these paintings comes from deep within her.
She hopes you’ll enjoy viewing this quite radical departure from her previous style as much as she has enjoyed creating the images.
The opening is Sunday 20 September at the Kiwi Art House Gallery from 4pm

“I am a full-time painter living in Mt Maunganui. Bold, bright canvases depict the New Zealand I love: its landscapes, people and their leisure-time pursuits. NZ coast, flora, beach and seascapes, sunbathers, nudes, café scenes, music and yachts provide content for my canvases.
Reproductions of my paintings have proved extremely popular: many thousands have been purchased by New Zealanders and visitors to the country, who have no doubt felt associations with the same things that interest me.”
'The Fine Art of Conversation' Exhibition
“The Fine Art of Conversation” series is inspired by the paintings of Renoir and Degas and reinterprets their 19th century scenes of everyday life in a modern guise.
