Each artist brings their distinctive style and vision to the exhibition, resulting in four distinct and varied viewpoints on landscape painting. As viewers traverse the exhibition space, they will encounter a visual symphony of colours, textures, and emotions, all inspired by the remarkable surroundings of Lon Retreat.

The overarching theme of ‘Perspectives’ is a reminder that the natural world offers an infinite range of ways to perceive and appreciate its beauty. Through their artistry, the artists aim to rekindle our connection with the environment, encouraging us to explore different lenses through which we can view the landscapes that surround us.

‘Perspectives’ will officially launch with an opening on Thursday, October 19th, from 4 pm to 6 pm at Lon Retreat, providing an opportunity to mingle with fellow art enthusiasts while indulging in a visual feast that celebrates the power of artistic interpretation.

While you explore the exhibition, you can sip on refreshing drinks, available for purchase on the evening. The best part? All proceeds from the drinks will be donated to the artists’ charity of choice, making your art appreciation experience even more meaningful.

‘Perspectives’ opens up its doors to the public from Friday, October 20, and remains on display until Sunday, December 3, 2023. For those who wish to take home a piece of this artistic journey, all artworks featured in the collection will be available for purchase online through the @the_little_shop_of_lon website.
