An exploration of texture…
The month of August featured two artists, Fayelle Wharton Bush and Dorina Dobre, in the Rick Faries Gallery. While each exhibiting their own unique collection of works, these two artists are connected in their exploration of material, and texture.
The two collections, The Cloud Dossiers by Fayelle Wharton Bush and Limestone Tapestries by Dorina Dobre, opened with an artist reception on August 9, from 5:30-7pm and were on display until September 3, 2024.
Fayelle Wharton Bush, Bermudian artist of The Cloud Dossiers collection, has exhibited at Masterworks Museum before with her most recent solo show in 2020. In the past, Fayelle has showcased collage and encaustic work. Currently, and for this collection of work, Fayelle’s focus is on encaustic on copper panels, scraping back the wax surface to reveal colour and movement.
Dorina Dobre, Romanian artist of the Limestone Tapestries collection, has lived in Bermuda since 2019. Dorina’s multifaced art career consists of painting, sculpting and pottery. Her medium in this show is acrylic featuring 3D clay modelling elements, of her own composite, and other natural components revealing motifs of the theme. She is an exhibiting artist with numerous projects and exhibitions overseas.
Her inspiration for the exhibition was the multitude of limestone work in Bermuda: fences, gates, walls and buildings.
