The Gerald Moore Gallery is pleased to present Monsoon Clouds and Golden Orioles – The essential beauty of India miniature painting, a solo exhibition by Jacqueline Synnott from 12th to 28th September 2024 in the Paul Henderson Gallery (1st floor). The private view will be on Thursday 12th September from 6 to 8pm.
As a creative artist, Synnott is interested in the age-old ways of depicting people and the natural world, as well as the traditional tools and techniques used for centuries in the creation of illuminated manuscripts and the elaborate patterned borders on an Arts and Crafts mural.
Her Eurasian heritage has been a very valuable and significant influence on her art. Her mother, who is also an artist, was born and raised in Pakistan and she often shared her warm and colourful memories of the rich landscapes, the humid monsoon season and details of certain birds, flowers and trees with Synnott growing up. For the artist, these visuals and stories from her mother’s memory carry a strong sense of nearness within her own paintings.
