Ensemble

'Ensemble' : A collaborative exhibition of Janet Besançon and John Thiering at Nexus Gallery, Bellingen.

Opening Event: 2pm Sunday 28th April

Janet and John have jointly produced a series of artworks, combining their distinct styles and creative sensibilities.
They come from very different artistic and cultural backgrounds, and this show celebrates their connection through a love of art Janet’s work focuses on abstract patterns and textures, while John is mainly a figurative artist. They have merged these differences into strong, coherent artworks.

The exhibition also highlights individual works of each artist.
Janet is showing new works employing her first love, gouache, as well as oil, wax and collage. Her subjects include Mid North Coast landscapes and the human figure. She has continued to use ochres from both her homeland of France, and Gumbaynggirr country.
John has created a series of figurative works exploring a range of painting and drawing techniques. They combine dynamic abstraction with skilfully depictions of the human figure.
