The Cocoon Gallery for Emerging Artists Launch Event

Launching Fragments within the Sunset Tide

an exhibition by Renison Belbin

Join us in celebrating the latest exhibition in the Cocoon Gallery for Emerging Artists on Thursday 28th May, 6 – 7pm

Renison is an 18-year-old emerging artist from Margaret River, currently in a gap year and working with fluid acrylic techniques.

Each unique abstract piece is 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. His work reflects movement, atmosphere, and the coastal environment he grew up with, inviting you to slow down and experience each piece beyond the surface. 

He encourages viewers to take a deeper look into each artwork and appreciate not only the larger details, but also the subtle variations and cells within the paint.

All welcome to this free library event. Light refreshments will be provided along with the opportunity to meet and chat with the artist on the night.

All work is for sale through the artist. The exhibition continues until the end of June.

The Cocoon Gallery for Emerging Artists welcomes Renison Belbin

Fragments within the Sunset Tide

an exhibition by Renison Belbin

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. His works reflects movement, atmosphere, and the coastal environment he grew up in.

Call in to the Margaret River Library to view Renisons exhibition in the Cocoon Gallery for Emerging Artists. His work is worthy of viewing up close. All work is for sale through the artist. The exhibition continues until the end of June.
