Horizons introduces 11 New Faces in new exhibition

Horizons Art Gallery’s fourth annual New Faces exhibition starts on April 27. New Faces offers up a selection of works by emerging artists; new and exciting creators, each with their own distinctive style.

New Faces came about as a response to two frequently asked questions. The first, asked often by art collectors, was, “Who are the new talents to look out for?”

The second question, asked by new artists and graduating art-students, was, “Where can we find a forum to gain exposure for our work?” The answer to both these queries is summed up in this exciting exhibit.

Featured this year are 11 relatively unknown artists: Kristian Richards, Vida Mitchell, Ariel Francis, Sanja Dharamdass, Kathy Ann Perkins, Alex Mouttet, Samantha Alfred, Leslie Maitland, Jordon Briggs, Megan Mohammed and Kajal Madho.

This gathering of creative talents offers a wide variety of styles, and subject matter, so there is sure to be something for everyone, and all attractively priced. From serene scenes to bright, exciting colours in bold studies, this show ranges from one end of the spectrum to the other, all in an assortment of media: paint, pastel, photography and even glass.

The exhibition can be viewed live online via Facebook on April 27 at 6.30 pm. This will be an interactive event with many of the artists present, and viewers are encouraged to participate in the live chat with questions and comments.
