Come and see my exhibition of almost 200 paintings from November 8th 2024 until 28th December 2024 at the National Gallery Of Seychelles, Rue de la possession, Victoria, Mahé, Seychelles Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday and Public Holidays closed "The show charts a personal journey undertaken mostly in Germany during the last two years. During this period the artist supported her husband during a time of critical illness. Her paintings record the journey made from a period when her husband was given a terminal diagnosis, through intensive treatment, and finally to a point of full recovery, which is thankfully the present position. If we could present these works sequentially and at high speed in the order in which they were created we would experience a kind of awakening of technicolour and an acceleration of illumination, as if we were in a dark corridor and suddenly opened a door into a brightly lit room. Collectively the paintings express the movement from fear to recovery. The exhibition title reflects upon this process, with the colours and compositions of the (almost 200) paintings recording the initial anguish and later joy as the couple moved from darkness ‘into the light’."
