IN THIS TIME A solo exhibition by Georgia Lane at Eclectica Contemporary By Clare Patrick eclecticacontemporary.co.za
G
eorgia Lane is a Cape Town based artist, who has worked with her husband, Anthony Lane in managing his graphic design business while juggling her art career and a family. Together, they make an incredibly impressive duo, while each producing distinct and impactful work that is both vastly different and somehow concurrently interlinked. Working mostly on large canvases, sometimes coupling or grouping panels together, Georgia first developed her resourceful and innovative approach to painting while living in Skopelos, Greece with limited access to materials or supplies. The works are vivid in their chaos and yet exhibit a calming order in their simplicity and colour palette. Drawing from her own memories, painting the maze of perspectives and personal experiences, her use of colours and forms are abstracted and vague, ultimately depicting the reflective process that Georgia undertakes through the meditation of each brushstroke. Having exhibited and been represented by two prestigious galleries, Georgia Lane has presented solo bodies of work and been featured at the Cape Town Art Fair. She recently began exhibiting with the Eclectica Galleries as an artist whose work has featured on the New Dawn exhibition at Eclectica Desgin and Art. For the month of August, Georgia will be presenting In This Time a solo exhibition at Eclectica Contemporary. In This Time seeks to convey the uncertainty and the exhilaration of creating in today’s world; it is an exploration of form and finding new ways of making when resources and accesses may be restricted. The exhibition comprises of broad canvases that are filled with movement and illuminating colours – imagining and remembering spaces and places, through piecing together the mapping out of memories.
