Join us for the opening reception of Stephen Gillberry | Quietly Complex, on Saturday, November 9, 2024 at 1:00 p.m.
Stephen Gillberry’s artwork is a compelling exploration of atmospheric effects, where subtle tones and bright highlights create spaces that feel both serene and complex. This approach gives his canvases a contemplative quality, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a world that feels quietly expansive.
Gillberry’s work balances quiet complexity with surprising moments of brightness, using muted colours interwoven with vibrant tones that gently draw attention to focal points without overwhelming the overall harmony. This restrained palette, accented with bright notes, makes each painting feel layered and alive, as if one were looking through soft veils of light.
Textural depth also plays a significant role, adding an almost tactile dimension to his atmospheric effects, enhancing the sense of immersion. By combining these elements, Gillberry creates artwork that invites slow contemplation, where each glance reveals a new detail. His canvases reflect a reverence for nature’s subtleties, demonstrating how a quiet interplay of light and colour can capture profound beauty in moments of stillness.
