(“Eskom Cows Grazing”
– oil painting by Sue Bernon)
An exhibition by Sue Bernon is currently running at the Blue
Caterpillar Gallery in Pietermaritzburg.
There are 14 works in all on this exhibition featuring works
in oils and sculptural work in clay. Nine works depict cattle with different backgrounds
and weather conditions.
Bernon is a local talented artist exhibiting her work - her
series of cows in different settings are dramatic and she has created her own
unique style to capture local rural settings. Her florals, mostly the beautiful
Protea also form part of her exhibition.
Bernon states: “I am a South African fine artist. Graduated
with a fine art degree, I have been making art my career ever since. I work in
various art forms, and attend many art workshops. I also train students in my
area.”
Her work is inspired by form and colour, and the sources and
variations of colour as light falls on it. She regularly exhibits her work, and
it can be found in many South African homes as well as in Australia, New
Zealand, Britain and the US.”
“I aim at depicting the drawn and colour form into an
unusual tapestry style, without losing sensitivity and character. I strive to
draw the viewer into my paintings by leaving little bits of unfinished places. My
love for drawing, and passion for colour, inspire me to continually create
nostalgic paintings,” she adds.
The exhibition closes at the end of February. The Blue
Caterpillar Gallery is situated at the Butterflies for Africa
complex at 37 Willowton Road
in Pietermaritzburg. Gallery hours are Tuesday to Friday from 09h00 to 16h30, Saturdays
09h30 to 15h30 and Sundays 10h30 to 15h30. More information from Jeni Cramer on
