IN PURSUIT OF BEAUTY – Andrea Holliday, David Sweeney and Connie Godwin 16 -22 SEPTEMBER. DRINKS THURSDAY 19 SEPT 6PM

In Pursuit of Beauty

Art work is truly captivating when it honestly shows what it is like to exist.  This exhibition is a celebration of the beauty evoked by the drama, the pathos and awkwardness of being alive.  Interesting artists are not interesting because they climbed Mt Everest or met the Queen or hang out with supermodels; they are interesting because they can relate to the misfortunes or the joy of others and can then illustrate the tenderness of their own heart and mind.  The power in art is to see parts of yourself reflected back to you, sadness meets sadness, imperfections meets imperfection, beauty meets beauty.

 In this exhibition, three artists come together to celebrate the beauty of being alive. Simply, art makes our lives better.
