Dis\Harmony by Carol Barroso, Gabby Malpas, Mai Nguyen-Long and Sue Soliman

— Opening reception: 6-8 pm, 20th July —

Thienny Lee Gallery proudly brings together the works of four prominent artists: Carol Barroso, Gabby Malpas, Mai Nguyen-Long and Sue Soliman for its winter’s group exhibition Dis\Harmony. Carol’s series of works Melodic Geography is a mystical study of grace and time within the landscape of Australia and Brazil, her two countries of residency. Gabby explores her Chinese roots through a watercolour series Garden of Eden, rich in Asian flora and imagery. Mai’s selection of paintings Past Present reflects her ongoing negotiation of unstable realms and disjointed realities. Sue demonstrates her distinctive narrative flairs through her series of works, Mystery and Reality.

“It is both exciting and challenging to curate a group exhibition of four artists with very diverse creative energies. Instead of reconciling the differences, this show celebrates its [Dis\Harmony] complexity and contradiction. The collection of works in this exhibition flaunts a beautiful side of life but it also explores a darker and unspeakable side…” – Thienny Lee
