YJ Fauzee | SENTINELS
May 21 - Jun 18 | Burrinja Gallery
The Sentinel Series is dedicated to my father Mohamed Fauzee (1934 – 2021)
who encouraged and inspired my art and who instilled within me an appreciation of Nature.
ARTIST - YJ FAUZEE
I am a visual artist who has a strong connection with and respect for the natural environment. This body of work seeks to give homage to nature and the wisdom within.
My art depicts a fusion of the living forces as they emerge within the world around us through colour, line, and space. Throughout my work there is movement and presence. The play of light and shadow offers opportunities for reflection.
CONCEPT
During times of adversity and times of need, we seek beyond our own selves - we look to the mountains, to the horizon and beyond. We take refuge in wild places. This body of work explores Sentinels around us. Those we may sense but not see. These are watchful and ancient, they dwell within forests, mountains, and the depths of the ocean.
ARTWORK
The Sentinel Series is composed of 9 works created with acrylic paint, chalk, and pastel on stretched canvas.
Join us for an Artist talk with YJ Fauzee on Sat 18 June @ 12 pm
