SEA CHANGE
Thursday 1st to Sunday 25th April 2021
A joint exhibition of new paintings by contemporary landscape painters Tim Freeman and Caroline Healey. This show is a celebration of the ‘sea change’ lifestyle and the coastline of South West Victoria from Port Fairy to Peterborough.
Seachange draws parallels between two artists who each undertook a seachange and moved from capital cities to the shipwreck coast of Victoria. Arriving at similar times and at similar stages in their lives, the two artists separately yet simultaneously became enamoured with their new environment.
Caroline and Tim each began exploring the coastline and documenting it in their own inimitable style - Caroline in bold and detailed organic realism, and Tim in calculated, hard-edged minimalism. The two artists, sharing so much in their lives and observations, portrayed their new home in vastly different ways.
This exhibition celebrates those parallels and diversions equally, juxtaposing the techniques of two distictly different painters as they depict exactly the same landscapes.
