marie hobbs

how not to think

15 march - 13 april 2019
Artist talk:
3pm Saturday 16 march

NEW WORK NOW AVAILABLE IN THE STOCKROOM...

 

Marie Hobbs' exhibition reveals a true artist at work.

She demonstrates a rigorous exploration of the materiality of paint and a willingness to take risks in the struggle to unite composition with form and colour, whilst questioning what does it mean to see? She delights in losing herself in this struggle, allowing the subconscious to reign and the mind not to think.

Marie Hobbs has been exhibiting professionally for nearly fifty years. Her paintings have been acquired by numerous important art collections including National Gallery of Australia, Art Gallery of WA, National Gallery of Victoria, Wesfarmers, University of WA, Artbank, Curtin University, Kerry Stokes Collection and many more.
