Madeleine Winch to visit Manning Regional Gallery

Members of the community are invited to meet  nationally acclaimed artist Madeleine Winch who will present an artists-talk about her life and work at Manning Regional Gallery on Thursday 20^th March from 1pm to 2pm.

Madeleine Winch was born in Melbourne in 1950 and now lives in Sydney. The exhibition currently showing at the Manning Regional Gallery titled States of Being is her 40th solo exhibition and is touring around NSW. Madeline studied design at the National Art School, Sydney and later set up a studio on the Greek island of Paros. Her paintings have been finalists in the prestigious Dobell, Sulman and Portia Geach art prizes. She has also illustrated several children’s books, including Edward Wilkins and his Friend and Come by Chance.

 

The Manning Gallery is resplendent with Madeline Winches beautiful and serene portrayals of people, which will act as the backdrop to the artists-talk. They show personal observations of human behaviour and her own deeply felt experiences. She captures figures that are immersed in their own thoughts and feelings, and often set against backdrops of sparse domestic interiors. Madeleine explains that “the paintings portray various stages of life and poignant moments in everyday existence.”

Gallery Director Sue Mitchell believes that the people of the Manning Valley are fortunate to be able to meet artists of this calibre, who are such important figures in Australian art, in their own town.

Come and meet the artist. Entry of $5 includes coffee and cake. RSVP gallery@gtcc.nsw.gov.au or 02 65925399
