Sophie Toupein - Whatever will happen will happen

Sophie Toupein's exhbition of paintings "Whatever will happen will happen' opens tonight in the Front Room Gallery.

Sophie is the recipient of the Ford Grant, sponsored by Chris and Helen Ford, which supported her to complete work for this exhibition after graduating from the Advanced Diploma in Fine Art. Her work will also be showcased at the Damien Minton Gallery in Sydney in the near future.

The painings use transparent and translucen, light filled layers of colour. They are abstractions that have hints of forms brought out by marks or fluid gestures, teasing at something through veils of colour.

The exhibition is open 11-5 Tuesday to Friday and 12-4 on Saturday until the 3rd August.
