Brushes with the Bush by Jenny Gibson is an exhibition of oils on canvas and charcoal drawings spanning almost thirty years of art practice and observation in nature, reflecting a sensorial response to the landscape around her, from more distant views to her immediate surroundings, from small grasses to her experience of moving through trees.
Recognising the importance of plant cycles, respiration, and renewal, Gibson muses, “I would like my paintings to remind people that there is another world out there which follows its own laws.”
