Three painters across three continents “get their motif on.” After almost 5 years of Instagram friendship, the three friends stage a show about the familiar—the views across the dinner table and down the street, the patterns found in a blanket or on a pair of pyjamas/pajamas, the people, places and objects that surround them. Although distinct in their individual perspectives and processes, Nathan, Nguyen, and Gruskin are connected in their search to find inspiration and grace in the chaos of modern life.
All works are on paper and unframed. Enquiries to purchase can be made via Instagram, via the form below, or email 3womenartists@mail.com. Sales open the 26th October at The Clifton School of Arts (NSW Australia) and will continue as an online exhibition after that weekend. We invite you to register your interest in any specific work prior to the opening. International sales welcomed, prices include shipping.
Feel free to leave a Guestbook comment at the end of the page, many thanks!
