HOSSEIN & ANGELA VALAMANESH
April 26th, 2012
Greenaway Art Gallery is proud to present HOSSEIN VALAMANESH with his 10thexhibition at our gallery and ANGELA VALAMANESH with her 4th showing, opening 26th April 2012.
Perennial themes reoccur in HOSSEIN’s work; his native homeland of Iran with it’s rich aesthetic and the clear connection he has with his adopted homeland of Australia. Nature, poetry, family and memory inform this collection of new works made over the past 18 months as he freely moved from one material to another.
ANGELA VALAMANESH shares HOSSEIN’s respect for nature but her fascination for the microscopic view and command of her materials takes on a new level of experimentation in this body of work as she combines the two and three-dimensional elements in small constellations on the wall.
