Local artist Jennifer Law will show her fourth solo exhibition “ Great Southern Land” at Peace of Green gallery space in Maple St, Maleny over the Easter period. The paintings reflect on that moment in Australia’s history when the local indigenous culture and colonialism came face to face.
“I am not trying to make a political comment with this work”, says Jenny. “I was interested to explore the strangeness of the two cultures observing each other. For instance, it must have been a very surreal moment when for the first time an English ship was sighted on the sky line or the Union Jack was raised on the shore, ” added Jenny. The exhibition is the result of two years of work and includes misty landscapes to soften the mood. Jenny has won many local art awards and sells most of the work she produces. The opening will be Friday evening March 26and the exhibition will run until April 9.
