Pleased to announce an exhibition of brand new works by Rachael Bennett. The exhibition is titled: Rachael Bennett presents “Agua y luz solar” (water and sunlight) an exhibition of brand new paintings inspired by walking wild Lanzarote. I've had a preview and there are some absolute stunners in this exhibition - not to be missed. The private view is going to be a relaxed Sunday afternoon affair on 8th July 3.00 - 5.00pm - if you have taken the time to read this then consider yourself invited.
I'm making a series of small scale sculptures / maquettes that loosely describe the monstrous (some literally monsters) fragility of ships at sea . In my past these would have been much larger - human scale objects. They still could be but at the moment I'm quite happy to fiddle about with scales that are eminently 'own-able'. 'Floating Eye Of Death' gently rocks given a little nudge. As well as the small scale there is a nod towards the domestic and playful. A colleague described this as a Dr Seuss sculpture - what a massive compliment!
