This exhibition presents the latest paintings by the established artist Marnie Wark, renowned for her strong abstract artworks that are influenced by the world and experiences around her. Tension and synergy is evident in all of Wark’s painted acrylic works on canvas, something that she refers to as “the spirit of space”.
Recently Wark has painted large public artworks too, motivated by a desire to bring a human element to urban architecture. The sameness of the urban environment is the catalyst and abstracted subject.
Her work pulsates with latent energy, literally wound-up, as each new layer is added. Layers of paint both conceal and reveal. A dialogue begins, one that is about the human experience of a lived city and environment.
