The gallery is pleased to present Angela Brennan's debut exhibition New Paintings on display between 13 June - 1 July 2023. Brennan's paintings lie predominantly with lively colour and abstraction, depicting elements of an inner world. The artists' evolving practice consists of humming, floating forms and surfaces—a process which allows for dreamt imaginings to spill out and thrive.
Essay writer Serena Bentley states, "To view an Angela Brennan painting is to be embraced by colour. The artist’s iconic combinations of radiating hues and soft forms are atmospheric, an effect enhanced by their often immersive scale. It is almost as if you can breathe them in. To be in their presence is to be acutely aware of your own body in relation to the work and a lively invitation to the eye and, indeed, the heart. For Brennan's world is deeply shaped by emotion and intuition."
“Recently, Brennan has been listening to cosmology and astrophysics podcasts while painting and she has described the way in which the study of space – its structure, the history of
the universe – is rooted in mathematics and science despite its overarching bizarreness and ultimate unknowability. “
