FACES and Figures is the focus of the current exhibition at Ferntree Gully’s The Hut Gallery.
The Ferntree Gully Art Society is hosting the exhibition, which includes works by artists from the life-drawing and painting workshops held by the society. The works feature all sorts of media, including oils, acrylics, pencil and pastels.
A particularly striking feature of the exhibition is the ‘Rebecca’ series of paintings. During a workshop hosted by artist John Dunn, members of the society each painted their own version of the same life model, Rebecca. The result is an exquisite set of paintings, at first glance very similar but upon further inspection, each with its own quirks and interpretations.
Faces and Figures will run until 29 March at the Hut Gallery, 157 Underwood Road, Ferntree Gully. For more information, visit www.thehutgallery.wordpress.com
