Bloom
July 5 - July 30, 2025
“Bloom” This is the title that brings together the works of painters Gabryel Harrison and Jim Threapleton. Bloom does more than insinuate that we are going to be in the presence of landscape as subject. If we look closer, as the works demands, we can quickly assert that everything else that is part of the cycle of life has been accounted for. There is no spring without winter and no freshness without decay.
Gabryel Harrison’s romantic and poetic set a mood, one that we are invited to join and contemplate. Her works have the capacity to disarm you with her loose and energetic brushstrokes and her use of light. Her gardens and floral works are skin deep and her colour palette is one that stays with you long after you have left her paintings. I like to think of them as melancholic comments on unspoken words.
Jim Threapleton moved to Deep Cove from the UK and that distance shows in his expressionist paintings. His lyrical works carry echoes of landscape that prompt the viewer to whisper “Turner…” Jim’s painting offers glimpses of the vast and expansive. The view from his studio where the sky meets the ocean is a recurring theme in his abstract romantic works.Jim's works exude something of the turbulence of loss and redemption and oh they are so captivating.
These two artists create work that is poetic in nature and soulful in character. We are so pleased to be showing them together.
