Water Reflections on Skin | Gelbell
‘Water Reflections on Skin’
80 × 100cm
Acrylic on canvas
Price includes VAT
This wonderful piece Water Reflections on Skinwas created during Gelbell’s artist residency in Ibiza, and forms the body of work ‘Girl on Beach’, which was exhibited at In-between Ibiza, July-September 2024.
This exhibition drew from the long history, vibrant colours, native flowers and pines, and the unique blend of tourists and local cultures in Ibiza.
People are Gelbell’s sole inspiration; the figures capture commonalities among individuals. Each piece holds a personal memory for Gelbell, who chooses not to reveal these stories, instead allowing viewers to connect through everyday scenes, motifs, and body language.
Metres of canvas lie flat as Gelbell builds layers upon layers of paint. The paint is sculpted and pushed with hands, feet, and brushes while simultaneously being carved away to reveal figures. The works are direct, reminiscent of ancient pictographs on cave walls, detailing the life and customs of the everyday.
In their signature observational style, the Australian artist duo Gelbell paint together on the same pieces simultaneously, pushing the boundaries of a conventional studio, creating pieces that invite personal connection and interpretation.
