“I hope people feel relaxed, contemplative, joyful and alive to life's many possibilities when they experience my works.” Greta Laundy
Adelaide-based Greta Laundy is one of the outstanding artists in Tyger’s upcoming group show, Living in Another World.
Tyger is so excited to welcome the outstanding Adelaide-based artist Greta Laundy for our upcoming abstract landscapes show, Living in Another World.
The show brings together around 40 artists from all over the country to show us the world we know and love through an abstracted lens.
Living in Another World runs from 19-28 April at Tyger Gallery in Yass. The online catalogue for the show will go out to subscribers soon. Sign up here now to make sure you don’t miss out on your favourite works.
Greta’s work in the show is the stunning Dusk, a 60x60cm acrylic and oil on polycotton piece. We love it.
Ahead of the show, Greta told us about working with intuition and memory, and her fascination with human psychology and the workings of our inner worlds.
How would you describe your work?
“A dreamy, atmospheric, soft and wistful oil painting with layers of transparent and luminous colours slowly built up over time.”
Where and how do you create your work?
“I work full time from my dedicated home studio in the foothills of Adelaide. My work is created through a lengthy process using intuition and memory to create pieces which explore my love of colour and form.”
What inspires you?
“Nature is eternally inspiring to me as I grew up in the country on farms and am fortunate to still live in close proximity to bushland. Colour, pattern and shapes are also hugely inspirational to me, able to evoke emotional responses and memories.”
“Finally, I am immensely interested in human psychology: how we experience life and process events at the individual and collective level. This has led to ongoing research into dream-states and the meditation 'mind-state'; the connection between environment and wellbeing; and our inner worlds which we all inhabit.”
What do you hope people feel when they see your work?
“It is important that my work is open enough for people to feel a range of emotions. Hopefully, they mainly feel wonderment and connection to their quieter inner self: perhaps a sense of recognition, or a spark of a fleeting memory or thought. I hope people feel relaxed, contemplative, joyful and alive to life's many possibilities when they experience my works.”
Anything else you want to tell us?
“Painting is my passion and calling. I love connecting with other people through my art, and hearing their responses.”
Register now for our opening celebrations of Living in Another World - Saturday 20 April, 2-4pm.
