“Pearls of Wisdom”, a collection of artwork from Jillian Friedlander is being launched at new artistic space The Salon at Ironbank on Wednesday 5 December (come along between 6pm and 8pm!) The show is free to the public and runs until 19 December.
First-time exhibitor Jillian Friedlander presents a collection of raw black and white photographs, and bold colourful paintings celebrating autumn in Arrowtown and the popcorn carnival of summer.
It’s the first to be held at The Salon; a shared space for artistic expression and exchange.
“It’s all about the layers of life. I want to show people as they are. Wrinkles, freckles; they’re all characteristics of life. Whether it’s good, bad or in between – the wonders of age are what gives you wisdom,” says Jillian. “Life experience teaches you to look at things in a different light and appreciate the simple things in life.”
She says the The Salon is a haven for non-established and established artists to come and exchange creative ideas and inspiration.
“Ironbank is an ideal place to foster and harbour free creative thinking – there’s already a dynamic community of creative talent here and it’s really exciting to be a part of it.”
Opening night is open to the public, this Wed 5 December, 6pm – 8pm, where everyone will receive a white rose to take home.
5 – 19 December, 2012 (viewing by appointment only, contact jillian@friedlander3.com)
