Doreen Gadsby (b.1926) Travels 2009Opening Wednesday 11 November 2009,6-8PM
To be opened by Professor Peter Pinson
Eva Breuer Art Dealer is pleased to announce the opening of Doreen Gadsby's Travels 2009.
Ms Gadsby has exhibited extensively both within Australia and internationally. After the passing of her late husband John Coburn in 2006 Ms Gadsby has dedicated herself to painting fulltime.
This recent body of work reflects Ms Gadsby's love of international travel, her passion for music and her love of nature. A number of paintings were developed from sketches drawn en plein-air recently in the south of France, Tuscany and from memories of her time living in Canada. Others celebrate Ms. Gadsby's love of the stunning views of Sydney Harbour from her North Shore studio such as Neon Lights 2009. Others are constructed from childhood memories and later memories of the loss of love. All have a vibrance and impressionist zeal which show a great love of the masters of 19th century painting and a joie de vivre which continues to burn brightly.
Ms Gadsby is represented in the Commonwealth Government Collection, ArtBank and private collections in the USA, Canada, Indonesia. She has been the recipient of numerous coveted awards including the 1961 Wentworth Art Prize, the 1962 WD&HO Wills Art Prize and was a finalist in the Wynne Prize in 1960, 1961, 1962 and 1964.
