Rusten House Art Centre
Margaret Hadfield and Dennis Mortimer
Ocean
Margaret Hadfield and Dennis Mortimer combine their artistic talents in this collaborative exhibition themed around the ocean. Hadfield’s oil paintings reverberate to her travelled experience of the Southern Ocean, her paintings express our oceans’ tremendous power, beauty and fragility. Hadfield’s paintings seemingly hover the viewer above a chilled ocean surface.
Mortimer’s works compliment Hadfield’s beautifully rendered works with his series – The Ocean and Nothing, which responds to what we have lost and continue to lose because of human disruptive activities. Mortimer’s imagery is inspired by forms, colours and patterns of ocean fauna & flora.
