WHAT: Overgrown by Belynda Henry
WHERE: 87 Albert St, Brunswick, VIC WHEN: Opens 25th Sept from 6pm-8pm and runs until 1st Oct 2014 TDF Collect presents Overgrown, the latest collection of works by Wynne Prize finalist, artist Belynda Henry. Belynda paints from her home studio in the Dooralong Valley, NSW where she is surrounded by 40 acres of unspoilt Australian countryside. It is this rich visual backdrop that has been the artist’s primary source of inspiration for this exhibition. In this series Belynda explores nature in its purest form. From her front porch, surrounded by towering gum trees, to the rolling hills beyond her property, Belynda collects and archives her ‘landscape memories’. No scene goes unnoticed. She takes fleeting moments of nature at its wildest and most unruly, depicting the landscape she calls home with joy and sincerity. Fore more info head to the TDF Collect website.
