LILLY CHORNY

New Paintings

Flinders Lane Gallery

Tuesday 04 May 2010 to Saturday 22 May 2010
Melbourne artist Lilly Chorny's mutual concern for landscape and patterning coalesce in this new series of paintings.

Informed by her ongoing interest in oriental design and driven by her unique sense of colour, Chorny depicts an intuitive response to the natural world, to examine both the physicality of the botanical forms that comprise it and the atmosphere surrounding it, as pollen and other air born fragments are sent adrift.

Shifting between palettes of subdued creams and passionate reds, these works evoke not only the delicacy of natural forms but also remind us of the sensual and transformative power of our relationship with the environment.

Chorny has been exhibiting since 1997, having shown successfully in Australia and the United Kingdom. Her work is in the collection of Artbank and the Abbey National Bank and well as private and corporate collections in the United Kingdom, Washington DC, Canada, Hong Kong and Australia.
