The Waterfront Gallery is proud to present ‘Home’, an exhibition of new paintings by Rachel Burke. The exhibition, opening on Saturday, March 20th at 7pm launches the gallery’s new calendar of events for 2010.
The collection of paintings for this, Burke’s sixth solo show, deals with ongoing themes in her work, which investigate the importance of ‘home’ and placement. Working mainly with acrylic inks on canvas, using dip pens and brushes, the artist builds up layered paintings of domestic imagery and local landscape. Placing significance on the importance of line, texture and the familiarity of pattern in the work, ideas of identity and nostalgia are explored within the context of ‘home’.
These paintings embody a sense of the fleeting of time. Confident draughtsmanship meet with a subtle palette of painterly intimacy creating images suggestive of the intangible realm of visual memory.
