Celebrating the true spirit of Spring
In
this rejuvenating season, Wendi Reis’ new exhibition at
Beach Art, Thirroul, is full of life-affirming art that
is drawn from the bright days approaching and the warm
mysterious night.
Painting in Acrylics
Her art delves deeply into the surrealistic world of summer
dreams on humid nights with strange but tempting visions
of nocturnal birds and cloudy moonlit skies, suggesting
that desire of everyone to see what is happening outside
while we are safe in our beds. This series of paintings,
including Strawberry Dusk Dreaming and Gum Flower
Fantasy,
combines her venture into a contemporary vein with her
love of the more traditional nature. A pale spectral
moon casts its light over the elements of the bush
bringing them to life.
On a more traditional level
The
renewal of springtime is portrayed in numerous bird
images that capture the bright freedom of a life of
flight without care. Our Australian icon, the much loved
kookaburra, is present in many paintings. King parrots
and crimson rosellas in rich luxuriant foliage appear so
realistic that they could almost fly out of the
paintings.
Ms Reis is well known for her paintings of the
Illawarra area
