Originating in France, Chinoiserie is the European interpretation of Asian & Sinosphere artistic traditions in culture & decorative arts. This exhibition is the collaboration of two close friends. Marguerite Luntungun is a traditional Sumie artist & Lesley Gartrell is a realism painter.
MARGUERITE LUNTUNGUN
Marguerite has been practicing Sumie art for quite some time under a Taiwanese master in Sydney. She has won 4 awards in exhibitions in China & Japan. Sumie art is usually practiced on rice, bamboo or archive art paper & the main medium is ink that is ground from a charcoal stick. Inspired by French/Asian influences, Marguerite has painted a natural selection of fish, bird & flora. Mediums used are watercolours & acrylics with Chinese brushes.
LESLEY GARTRELL
Lesley discovered oils at the age of 13 & has been painting ever since. Starting in a drafting field, she is obsessed with detail & neatness. Moving into graphic design, she eventually taught painting for 25 years on the Sydney Northern Beaches. Her fave mediums are water colour & oil colour. “For this exhibition I’ve returned to my love of Utamaro from the 18th century.
I’ve always liked his interpretation of the female form & the drape of silk fabrics."
