A new exhibition to open at the Gunnedah Bicentennial Creative Arts Gallery on Friday, 6 September is an adventure into the transformation of the human body from infancy through to old age.
Manilla’s Marilynne Barnes, whose own journey as an artist has seen her work with other talented artists and study fine arts, works in a variety of mediums and styles but remains true to one subject.
“Quite often, my exhibitions look like they have been done by different people,” she says.
“I just can’t settle on one style. The only thing that is constant is the human form.”
Fascinated with the shape and language of the human body, Marilynne Barnes creates works that range from drawings to acrylics to oils, and often mixes mediums to achieve the desired mood.
The exhibition – A Lifetime of Change – will feature more than 40 works, many of them new, with artworks for sale.
“These are paintings and artworks of different stages of life, both male and female, from children through to adolescents and old age,” she said.
Everyone is invited to the opening of A Lifetime of Change at the Gunnedah Bicentennial Creative Arts Gallery at 6pm on Friday, 6 September with free entry. The exhibition is open every day until Friday, 11 October with free entry.
