Yallingup Galleries presents ‘The Light We Travel’ by Christine Hingston
Description
Yallingup Galleries presents The Light We Travel, an exhibition of abstract landscape paintings and ceramic vessels by Christine Hingston.
Drawing on landscapes across Western Australia, the collection explores how light, colour and the changing seasons shape the experience of the natural world, and how those impressions stay with people long after they leave. Hingston brings together memories of contrasting places, from the heat, red earth and brilliant blues of the Northwest to the filtered light, muted bush greens and changing coastal colours around Yallingup.
“I don’t try to paint a particular view. Instead, I work from memory and feeling – the colours, shapes, textures and marks that remain with me after spending time in a place,” Hingston says.
- Opening night: Saturday 16 January 2027 at 5pm
- Exhibition dates: Saturday 16 to Monday 25 January 2027
- Gallery hours: 10am to 4pm daily
- Venue: Yallingup Galleries, corner of Caves Road and Gunyulgup Valley Drive, Yallingup
Working in oil, acrylic, charcoal and collage on canvas and paper, Hingston builds layered surfaces by scraping back, drawing into and painting over earlier marks. The centrepiece, The Circle of Life, gathers these landscape memories into a layered, circular composition. A small group of ceramic vessels extends the abstract landscapes into clay, with painting and ceramics each influencing the other.
