March Focus Room Exhibition

Delight – Greet the Dawn

From 4th March, a number of whimsical pastel works on paper by Lara Le Reveur will be displayed in the focus room of The Gallery, Mount Macedon.

Since the early 2000s Lara has been drawn to a repeating motif that she calls a ‘Skyfish’. It represents her love of ridiculous humor, connections between people, and the ethereal.

Nobody looks back at the challenging times of the COVID19 pandemic with any sort of fondness, except maybe for Lara, who was living in Germany at the time. COVID time provided an opportunity for Lara to connect electronically much more regularly with her people at home.

Lara shared some of her lockdown sketches on social media and set herself her own lockdown art challenge, which was to sketch a themed Skyfish every day for a month using a limited palette. Nobody was more surprised than Lara when she completed her own challenge; indeed she continued sketching and completed over 100 sketches during the next year, now dubbed ‘The Hamburg Sketches’. She intends to develop the concepts within the sketches further in sculpture and paint.

Already a multidisciplinary artist and craftsperson, Lara’s exhibition marks the very beginning of clarity stemming from intuition. Curated by staunch supporter of the Arts in the Macedon Ranges, Nadine Hartnet, this collection aims to engage and bring a smile to many faces.

On the last day of the exhibition, Sunday 31 March, beginning 2pm, Lara will discuss her work.

The Gallery is open every Friday to Tuesday, 10am – 4pm at 684 Mt. Macedon Road, Mt. Macedon.
