2004 and running through until Sunday 2nd January 2005. For more details please
visit their website www.sodagallery.com.au
My show at SODA
Gallery was deemed a success with excellent feedback received regarding the
quality and finesse of the work and a number of sales. Lenny Ann Low of The
Sydney Morning Herald dated October 30-31, 2004 said:
" There is
something of the cool `60's femme in the bold paintings of Trisha Lambi. Each of
her oil on canvas paintings features a female headless nude and all exude a
mysterious imperturbability somehow mixed with a hot, blushing light that seems
to emit from the body. Lambi has titled her latest series of paintings Lighting
the Body and explained her aim was to capture the play of light upon the
female figure. "I don't see the objects," Lambi says in the exhibition
notes "I see light on forms highlighting sensual curves, hard edges and
soft shadows." But what she has also done in her paintings - in
particular in the works Casual Observer, Dreaming I, Dreaming II, and
Basking - is collar light's absorption and containment in the skin"
A solo exhibition of
my nude series is to be held at SODA Gallery in Avalon. Entitled Lighting the
Body it will open on Wednesday October 20th and run until Sunday 7th November.
For more details please visit the gallery's website www.sodagallery.com.au
I attended the
opening of the group exhibition of stable artists at SODA Gallery on the 6
August which was a lot of fun and rewarding also with the sale of my Nude with
Poppies. It was great to meet the other artists and the gallery owners in
person. Avalon is certainly a beautiful part of the world!
SODA Gallery are
showcasing their stable artists in a group exhibition commencing 6th August and
running through until 17th September. Please go to their website
www.sodagallery.com.au for more information.
I have been selected

21st June and my nude series exhibited at the Florence Biennale will be on

A series of still
life paintings will be exhibited at Augello's Restaurant, 695 Brunswick St, New
Farm for one month from 3rd August 2004.
I have also been
invited to exhibit at Europ'Art 2006 in Geneva Switzerland under the banner of
Who's Who International SA, an arts promotion company based in Lausanne
Switzerland. The company president, Dr Louis-Marc Servien, Comte de Boisdauphin,
saw my work at the Florence Biennale.
The
Fourth Edition of the Biennale Internazionale dell’Arte Contemporanea was held
in Florence Italy from the 6th December through to the 14th
December 2003. 891 artists representing 72 countries exhibited their art
offering a comprehensive cross-section of the development of art in the world
today. Apart from the display of art in a variety of mediums – painting,
drawing, sculpture, mixed media, digital art, installation art, and photography
– a number of collateral activities were held during the exhibition including
a special exhibit from the Conservation Laboratory of the Vatican Museums, a
Ferrari motor car exhibit (which my 7year old son loved!) and a public talk on
the importance of optical instruments for artists of the past by celebrated
artist, David Hockney.
We
were also treated daily to a variety of concerts and conferences as well as an
opening ceremony, award ceremony and gala dinner.
On
the whole I think the Biennale was a success although numbers attending were
nowhere near the 40000 predicted and there was a lot of dissatisfaction amongst
the artists with the shipping agent appointed by the governing body. The
standard of work, however, was excellent and the general consensus of the
artists of the Biennale was that the event was worthwhile given the
exposure to critics and the interaction afforded between artists which will be
ongoing. I know I have benefited and grown as an artist immeasurably from the
experience in exhibiting in such an arena and I miss Italy terribly!
