Martin Galleries is proud to present Kelli Mac and her latest exhibition People and Places.
Kelli Mac’s work ranges from expressionist figurative work through to interpretive and semi realistic landscapes and seascapes. Her intentional exaggeration of tone and colour creates strong visual impact keeping the work fresh and exciting. Her trademark free brush strokes maintain the spontaneity. “I usually work on several pieces concurrently and this collection of works puts together a story about Australian people and the places they love”.
As a new kid on the block salli is keen to deliver works that concentrate on simple themes with form and colour. There are no epic backstories. Words such as narrative, engagement, immersive and connectivity mean very little and say even less. The object is to get colour on the wall. If the work cannot turn a viewer's head on its own merits then no amount of explanatory notation will help it.
Exhibiting artists are:- Deb Parker. Debbie Kerswell, Lee Harrison, Robert Claybourn, Angela Mulligan, Rischelle Brooks, Kay Frances, John Weeronga and Anthony (Tony) Beckley
Retrospective shows works from the past 25 years. To date David has had thirty solo painting exhibitions, two photographic exhibitions and participated in numerous mixed exhibitions. This is a great opportunity to see the evolution of David’s work through the years. We are fortunate to have such a range but it is reassuring to see that all works carry his signature style.
