ZOE GREY - Thanks To A Place I Know

1 - 26 April 2020
Listen to emerging artist Zoe Grey discuss her inaugural solo exhibition at Despard Gallery 'Thanks To A Place I Know'.
Zoe’s practice is centred on conveying a deep connection to her home, Marrawah, a remote coastal town on the northwest tip of lutruwita/Tasmania. Thanks To A Place I Know will present an entire new suite of paintings by Zoe that captures Marrawah in all its raw beauty, including the rocky coastlines, dense forests and notoriously wild weather.
Painting has become a way for Zoe to reconnect with home across vast distances, but more importantly share a deep relationship she holds for this remote, but significant part of the Tasmanian landscape. Zoe uses painting as a way to build awareness to the great significance of this area, including the importance of protecting these natural assets for future generations. Through bold gestural marks, each painting translates the complexities of memory and the intimate experiences of place, reinventing the traditions of landscape painting whilst touching on important ideas around identity and belonging.

I love that she was inspired by the natural landscapes of her surroundings as they represent something real in her life and yet they also have a sort of abstract quality in the finished work which I always seem to be drawn to. NEED ONE!
