Campbell: Milk and Sleep

milk and sleep invitation

Elizabeth's first exhibition since returning to Perth after completing two international residencies in San Francisco, USA and Oaxaca, Mexico.

In her latest work Elizabeth Marruffo continues to develop her unique visual language while considering the new life and old deaths that motherhood brings.

Being held at the HQ Gallery at 60a Frame Ct in Leederville the opening will be from 2-6pm with original works and prints available for purchase. It will be open weekdays, 9-5 until the 18th of June.
Come down for a hot chocolate and a nap.

Check the events page for updates on images and to let us know if you're coming.  Go behind the scenes on her blog.

Hey,

I may be umpiring hockey but either way I should be there before or after that.

I'm typing this on early version of Google chrome. Neato:

A lovely day! Although cold and wintery... I think everyone enjoyed their hot chocolate.

I've just got one snap from my moblog:

Hope the rest of the show goes well!

Oh, and the show was great! But I'm probably both heavily biased and educationally ill-qualified to comment. Elizabeth's world is always amazing.

i'm pretty un-biased and educationally qualified (kinda!) and i thought the show was great. i love the crossover between figurative and imaginatory, and the juxtaposition of really highly worked and finished bits with looser, more suggestive parts. i loved all the swooping lines in some of the figures, and the feathery areas in some of the others. the paintings are not only beautiful to look at, but hold a conceptual element too.. so they hold a lot of interest for me. it was a lovely afternoon, and they looked great in the gallery.

oh, and i forgot to mention the organic quality to them was something which also struck me, and gave them a lot of depth and texture. the raw canvas seems to really help this. i also think campbell's work has this quality, and it's something i like about both his and liz's work (sorry, just lumping it all together now - i suppose i should've written about this under campbell's exhibition posts too, but not much point writing it twice!)
