Landscapes of Loss
10 September – 4 December 2022 | Main Gallery, Hastings City Art Gallery
"Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things." - Arthur Schopenhauer
Opening 9th September - all welcome
Everyone, from all walks of life and across cultures, experiences loss and grief during their lives, whether it’s private and personal loss, within their community, or at a global level.
Right now, we are bombarded with harrowing stories of loss on a daily basis - from Covid-19 to the dire ‘Code Red’ climate change warnings, to poverty and homelessness. The world can feel like an insecure and frightening place, full of challenges which Lisa Chandler’s new body of work, Landscapes of Loss, examines. In particular, Landscapes of Loss explores the dichotomies of isolation and connection. The artworks tell stories of loss and isolation, but also offer hope - portraying how people come together and support each other during difficult times.
The Dividing Line in Timaru
I am excited that my latest series The Dividing Line is currently on exhibition in Timaru at The Aigantighe Art Gallery. The Aigantighe curator Hamish Pettengell has chosen a slightly different selection of works for this particular show compared to the Nelson and Leipzig exhibitions. The exhibition runs until the 9th February 2020 so pop in, if you are in Timaru over the summer!
