Naked Ambition by 7@

The blend(er) gallery in Joondalup will be presenting an exhibition of recent works by artists from the 7@ group: Lyn Franke, Susan Hall, Susan Jacobs, Marion Power, Barbara Troncone, Lindel Young.

7@ is a fledgling group, made up mostly of emerging women artists from the northern suburbs. The group originally came together after attending art classes at the Carine West Coast College of TAFE, and share a passion and commitment to their art. The original exhibition was titled 7 @ Kings Park with an exhibition at Kings Park and the group of seven decided the name ‘7@’ aptly described them as a group of seven up-to-date and responsive artists.

The work ranges from contemporary abstract to more traditional realist painting using a variety of media in a 2 and 3 dimensional format. Each artist has their own unique way of observing and recording: from the usual and identifiable to a more intimate close-up nuance that most do not observe.

In this exhibition, the group aims to explore a journey of exposing the inner self to the world. Delving beyond the external layer of one’s normal space into areas of unfamiliar nakedness. Peeling away the layers that filter our consciousness to a deeper awareness, beyond the literal.

It is about venturing into interesting explorations into the human form and psyche in the 2004 environment and rediscovering the primal truth of nudity and the range of emotions that it evokes in a gentle soul.

Opening on Friday 8th October 2004 at 7.30-9pm
