An exploration of texture…
The month of August features two artists, Fayelle Wharton Bush and Dorina Dobre, in the Rick Faries Gallery. While each exhibiting their own unique collection of works, these two artists are connected in their exploration of material, and texture.
The two collections, The Cloud Dossiers by Fayelle Wharton Bush and Limestone Tapestries by Dorina Dobre, will open with an artist reception on August 9, from 5:30-7pm.
Dorina Dobre, Romanian artist of the Limestone Tapestries collection, has lived in Bermuda since 2019. Dorina’s multifaced art career consists of painting, sculpting and pottery. Her medium in this show is acrylic featuring 3D clay modelling elements, of her own composite, and other natural components revealing motifs of the theme. She is an exhibiting artist with numerous projects and exhibitions overseas.
Her inspiration for the exhibition is the multitude of limestone work in Bermuda: fences, gates, walls and buildings.
Artist Statement:
“Since I arrived on this land, I was drawn to this earthy stone in a compelling contract with the colourful houses and luscious subtropical nature. Everywhere you turn there is a fragment of stone telling the story of the place, and I hope my stonework will have the power to draw attention from its raw and historical beauty.”
The exhibition will be available to view until September 3.
