The latest series of paintings by Eora/Sydney artist Fiona Smith breaks open an omnibus of classic fables and recasts familiar myths with a fabulous flock of feathered subjects.
Fractured Fairy Tales is a vibrant adventure through storybook favourites – from Sleeping Beauty to The Princess and the Pea – all brought to life with the artist’s signature flair, lavish decorative details and close observations of Australia’s charismatic birdlife.
Striking dramatic poses against backdrops layered with sumptuous patterns, Smith’s literary heroes and heroines flaunt lashings of charisma and instil tales as old as time with new life and Antipodean flavour.
Works from Fractured Fairy Tales can now be veiewd at our Murrurundi gallery.
