Gabrielle Falconer and Lorna Quinn’s exhibition will be there first show at Blenheim Gallery. A great time to bring these two artists together and highlight new works at Blenheim Gallery.
Gabrielle lives in Tasmania and celebrates Tasmania’s history whilst Lorna a Victorian artist has a love of the beauty of the Tasmanian landscape
The show opens in February and continues to mid March 2024. This exhibition will provide an opportunity for those travelling to see the Glover Prize and extending their enjoyment of art at Blenheim Gallery as well.
This is an exhibition well worth seeing and Gabrielle’s work provides a different perspective on colonial migration to Van Diemen's Land in the 19th century, as well as the influence of class in colonial society.
Lorna Quinn comments on her work: “Out in the varying and often harsh conditions, I feel the strong weight and density of the natural and social history of the land; through its crags, curves and peaks or its boughs and troughs. It is a potent and vibrating landscape which is a rich source to draw on,” Quinn said.
“I’m interested in sharing encounters that are emotive, that perhaps sit outside of language, through my work. I am interested in the illusory nature of desire, and in the texture of the fantasies that we inhabit in pursuit of it.”
