2013 exhibitions at Gallerysmith

The Fall examines the ongoing relentless cycle of collapse, dispersion and reinvention that occurs in nature and within ourselves. These four works have come from my absolute awe of life and my preoccupation with death; my thinking about the tenuous space that separates one from the other.

KIRRILY HAMMOND, The Gloaming, 25 July – 21 Aug
Gloaming is an old English term for twilight and combines a sense of poetic romance with a mysterious undercurrent. Kirrily Hammond’s intimate paintings depict Brunswick streetscapes in the early evening light, when buildings retain a glow from the fading afternoon sun, shadows coalesce and powerlines glimmer in flickering streetlights. Through delicate layering of oil paint on linen, Hammond renders quietly seductive images that reveal sublime encounters in suburban environments.
