Local artist Mikey Freedom is bringing a new, transformative art exhibition to Seven Marks Gallery in Kiama next month with Sunbather. The exhibition will be on display from 10 February to 23 March.
Freedom navigates the balance of line, colour and shape, unravelling personal meanings within his compositions. Each piece depicts a ‘hopeful tide of future restful days against the contrast of our times.’ Freedom uses celebratory moments and weighty symbolism, leaving his work open for individual interpretation.
The deeper narrative is intertwined with visions of lazy play, aimless pursuits and the resounding nature of summer.
Freedom revels in a rich history of colour and exploratory composition to connect to his audience. Some of his work can be seen in several spots throughout Kiama, including the mural on the side of Scout’s Hall at Black Beach and Little Earth Cafe near the Little Blowhole. Freedom takes his role in the community seriously and enjoys lending his time and talents to the community.
Seven Marks Gallery is currently showing the Colour & Space exhibition, featuring a range of local artists such as Phil Spelman, Scott Chaseling, Matt Heaney and Mikey Freedom, among others. This collection ends on 27 January to prepare for the Sunbather debut.
