March 4, 2010 until March 28, 2010 // Cooper Gallery Fine Art // Noosaville BC, QL, AU Australia
The Cooper Gallery announces their featured artist this month is Trisha Lambi. Trisha has this 9th solo exhibition to her name, which is a reflection on the talent of an artist who has only been painting professionally for 7 years. She is from Brisbane however her work is represented all over the world in such far off places as Canada and the USA, Spain, Germany, Ireland and China. Trisha is inspired by Light on Form, and her works have a somewhat neo-classical flavour to them. There is emotion in these paintings and it is as though we are seeing part of a story without knowing the whole of it: we see a glimpse, a moment in time, which make us wonder what is really going on. This is quite deliberate as the artist wants the viewer to make their own analysis of the work.
If we look at the painting "An Ill Wind", we see a woman who seems to be walking away from a window, and by the look of her body language, with her arms closed and one hand at her neck, we are led to believe that there was something worrying to her in the view from the window, an anxious feeling comes from the painting, as though the subject has viewed something she would rather not have seen.
This is of course only one interpretation of this work, and you are certainly invited to come to your own understanding of the piece. The emotional aspect of the work does not take away from the beauty of the form; technically Trisha Lambi has produced a beautiful painting to look at, and something you could easily live with for years to come. Her realistic representation of the subject is impressive and allows us to love looking at it despite the emotions that may arise.
