In the Liminal Field | Painting | by Kirsten Lovelock

From her solo exhibition The Quiet Familiar, Wellington-based artist Kirsten Lovelock creates symbolist paintings that weave together personal narratives and metaphysical themes. Inspired by New Zealand's landscapes and her own biographical journeys, her works are rich with emotive layers and intricate storytelling.

"The surrealist scene mixes domesticity, nature and innocence. Together, this painting is about a desire of peace, contrasting the wild with the tame, a search for an idyllic secure sanctuary. The rabbit is at once innocent, represents vulnerability and intuition, but also the need for a safe place to retreat to. The white cloth represents purity and simplicity and elevates the importance of the rabbit's presence. The small house is a safe haven, with the chair a place to rest and observe."
