Comfort in Tears

After a 3-year exhibition hiatus, Drewfunk showed a body of work produced on dibond, stretched linen and canvases.

The paintings, and their subjects, depicted an inherent sadness and longing. But the juxtaposition of vivid colours, coupled with the artist’s own sense of optimism and ever-willingness, would make the viewer interpret the works as a contradiction.

Rather fitting, as Drewfunk explains;  “These paintings allowed me to see life in a new light, to pull myself out of darkness, out of the pit of depression.”

The title is an ode to the many contradictions that exist in life.

The exhibition also featured a limited run of screen prints, and 10% of proceeds went to Beyond Blue.

‘Comfort In Tears’ opened on Sunday the 27th of November at the aMBUSH Event Space, Level 3, Central Park Mall.

Proudly presented by aMBUSH Gallery & Central Park Mall.
