Still Life
CONVERSATIONS an exhibition of still life paintings
by Brenda Runnegar
KYEEMA GALLERY, Gladstone Street HALL ACT.
13th March - 13th April 2020
The exhibition "Conversations" is a culmination of my still life paintings over the past 10 years. My aim with the works is to reactivate traditional themes and to personalise and modernise this inherited iconography and intensify its expressive content. The exhibition included these new works as well as other from this Still Life series.
