After a 3-year exhibition hiatus, Drewfunk is showing a body of work produced on dibond, stretched linen and canvases.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The paintings, and their subjects, depict an inherent sadness and longing. But the juxtaposition of vivid colours, coupled with the artist\u2019s own sense of optimism and ever-willingness, would make the viewer interpret the works as a contradiction.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rather fitting, as Drewfunk explains; \u00a0\u201cThese paintings allowed me to see life in a new light, to pull myself out of darkness, out of the pit of depression.\u201d<\/p>\n

The title is an ode to the many contradictions that exist in life.<\/p>\n

The exhibition will also feature a limited run of screen prints, with 10% of proceeds going to Beyond Blue.<\/p>\n

‘Comfort In Tears\u2019 opens on\u00a0Sunday the 27th of November, with exhibition drinks with the artist between\u00a05-7pm\u00a0at aMBUSH Event Space, Level 3, Central Park Mall.
\nProudly presented by aMBUSH Gallery & Central Park Mall.
