Four KZN women artists share the spotlight at the current
exhibition in The Green Gallery in the Flanders Mall, Mount Edgecombe.
They are Sharleen Boaden; Coral Spencer; Kirsty Hall and
Lieze Meyer. This exhibition marks the sixth anniversary of the gallery which
was established in 2008.The gallery offers an eclectic collection featuring
both established and up and coming artists.
Pietermaritzburg born Sharleen Boaden is an impressionist
who strives to capture the emotive quality in the subjects she portrays and
draws the viewer in with the essence of the subject rather than by painting
replicas of real life.
Coral Spencer, born in Durban and schooled in America, has a
keen interest in body language and relationships between people which she plays
out in placement of figures in her captivating paintings. "I paint light
and the human figure in its landscape."
Kirsty Hall finds inspiration in nature and her love for
birds is clearly evident in her perfect portrayal of them in her paintings. She
says that she sells her paintings to raise money for food and care for
creatures great and small.
Lieze Meyer works with a minimal colour palette. Her
paintings are monochromatic and have a compelling calmness about them. She
creates images that evoke a sense of understanding of the subjects she selects.
Meyer is another artist with a passion for animals.
Four Wonderful Women
