Carolyn Griffiths @ The UWA Club

Event Title: Visual Tempos.
Participating Artists: Carolyn Griffiths.

Venue:
The UWA Club,
The University Club of Western Australia- Hackett Drive Entrance #1, Carpark #3.

Description: 'Visual Tempo's, an exhibition by Carolyn Griffiths will be held at the University of UWA Club Gallery. The work explores a merging of rhythmic painterly surfaces with echoes and cadences of images momentarily glimpsed. Resonances, some melodic or discordant can be glimpsed by the viewers. The painted works interface with both personal and superficial human rhythms.

Carolyn's painting techniques explore the creative potential of the imagination and inner self. She employs abstract techniques and mixed media alongside acrylic enamel paint and objects evoking a sense of immediacy - of 'painting in the moment' - expressing depth of form and feeling. 'Her unique blend of materials and techniques manifest in powerful alchemical statements about the nature of nature'. (David Giles, artist)

Dates: Friday 1 April 6pm 2011 to Tuesday 10 May 2011.
Opening Times: Monday-Friday 10am - 5pm, Saturday 11-5pm.
