Fragments within the sunset tide: an exhibition by Renison Belbin
The Cocoon Gallery for Emerging Artists warmly welcomes Renison Belbin into the space
“I’m Renison, an 18-year-old emerging artist from Margaret River, currently in a gap year and working with fluid acrylic techniques. My pieces in this exhibition used+ over 12 litres of paint across 15+ canvases, where I create each work by pouring a full liquid base coat before carefully guiding and stretching it through blowing the paint across the surface. Differences in paint density create natural cell structures and organic movement, forming each piece in its own unique way.
Inspired by the meeting of light and water, sunset colours in the sky and reef tones beneath the surface, unified by the golden shimmer of fading light. My work reflects movement, atmosphere, and the coastal environment I grew up with, inviting you to slow down and experience each piece beyond the surface.
I encourage you to take a deeper look into each work and appreciate not only the larger details, but also the subtle variations and cells within the paint.”

Thursday 28th May, 6 – 7pm. Light refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP your attendance to amrlibrary@amrshire.wa.gov.au or Phone: 9780 5600
