Exhibitions
Interiors, Houseplants and Gods
30 January – 22 March| Sugar Store & Foyer Gallery | Tue – Sat, 11am – 5pm | FREE
Interiors, Houseplants & Gods showcases a bold and energetic body of work by the artist Jamie Stanley. The exhibited work has a naivety and simplicity, which allows each painting to exist on its own without explanation. Stanley is interested in the continuing potential of seemingly ordinary and mundane subjects and the readable yet unresolvable qualities of abstraction that keep the paintings in a constant state of ‘becoming.’
