A View in a Room

We are delighted to welcome a new exhibition of exquisite interior studies brought to life by Melbourne artist Carla Tucker with sumptuous oils and a spirit of elegant insouciance.

A View in a Room delights in the biographical possibilities of still-life painting with a series of loose compositions that seem to spring gracefully from the happy accidents of the everyday.

“The objects in our spaces can be both ordinary and sentimental,” says the artist, whose delicate interplay of warm and cool light imbues her scenes with an evocative sense of depth and temporality.

Subtitled ‘Illuminating the Still Life Interior’, Tucker’s series is suffused with soft, gauzy tones and ethereal washes of light, inviting viewers to pause and consider the beauty in the often-overlooked corners of our domestic spaces.
