Of mouth and mind

Of mouth and mind is a major solo exhibition of Braidwood-based artist Dionisia Salas, investigating the interplay between the physical and psychological aspects of the lived experience.

Establishing drawing as the foundational underpinning of the artist’s practice, this exhibition presents physical articulations of the absurd while mining the subconscious. Of mouth and mind embraces wandering shapes that meander through figuration and abstraction.

With a vast array of paintings and drawings, the works included straddle the divide between alluring and abject. Salas’ seductive colours, sumptuous forms, and loose and automatic mark making express feelings of desire, movement and ecstasy.
