An intimate exhibition of works rarely seen outside of the studio and some past favourites. Including artist sketchbooks, experimental drawings, printmaking, en plein air paintings and fabric drawings by Gallery 139 Artists.
Helene Leane says about studio life "My studio space is a personal space and as I create, it too evolves."
Paul Maher says about studio life ...
"For me there are different sorts of time in the studio, having lots of responsibilities like most people have. There are short spurts of time on a daily basis to look, to organise, to do little jobs like prepare a canvas. And there are longer periods of full days where I can get steeped in what's in front of me. But even those times can have a 'softening up period' where things need to be bent into the direction you want to take them."
Olivia Parsonage says about studio life..."Having a studio is a necessity, a luxury and the best gift you can give yourself. I fantasise about what my future studio may look like as i recently lost my precious retreat."
Dino Consalvo says about studio life "It's precious time, a place to experiment and get angry if something doesn't work. I'm trying to loosen up my painting and in the studio it's a constant struggle, a battle with myself."
Peter says about studio life..."A place of private retreat to lose or find oneself. A place where problems and conflicts are resolved".
