18.01.2022 We couldnt be happier with our Artist In Resident painting installation by Melbourne based artist, Rowena Martinich. Visible from both inside and out it visually changes throughout the day as sunlight moves through the space. Rowena and her partner, Geoffrey Carran along with their dog Captain are KereKere locals and kindly accepted our request to be our Artist in Residents. Our idea was that they would do a few hours of demonstrative painting however we have been overwhel...med with their generosity to create an enduring work in the space. The Artwork is a painted Colourscape the vibrant pinks and yellows of the artwork are a counter to the views of green that fill all of the other window-scapes. The sweeping gestures are sometimes translucent, sometimes solid, and constantly shifting with the varying sunshine that spills into the space. The artwork draws attention to the building, visible from distance, from the interior and the exterior, on different levels at different times of day. Like a giant contemporary stained glass window, this work utilizes light, colour and the artists energetic approach to invigorate its audience This artwork is the backdrop to a business that is a lot more than a café it is a community that believes in inclusiveness and generosity. This is an extension of how I want people to experience my artwork; accessible and viewed freely by a diverse audience, an immersive and interactive introduction to the unexpected Checkout https://martinich.com.au/ for more about Rowena and make sure you signup to her mailing list to get an invitation to her latest exhibition, COLOURBOSS on 26-28th October 2018.
