The Extraordinary Ordinary : Paintings by Julie Hobbs 5 March to 30 March

This body of figurative oil paintings in my first solo exhibition strives to capture a moment of magnificence in the mundane.

It is that second when time slows, the sun drops and highway traffic is ignited in orange. It is the warmth of a porch light in a twilight summer sky or stark silhouette of a beach walkeragainst stormy, silver seas.

My arts practice and the subject matter to which I’m drawn is diverse; yet always united inquiet observance. Life is light and dark and so, I present scenes filled with moments of joy,quiet contemplation or even melancholy.

Within the exhibition is a group of smaller works that depict largely local streets on bin night. The Bin Night series depicting an unpleasant weekly chore exaggerates my belief that beauty is everywhere and the ordinary can be extraordinary, viewed in a certain light.
