Colin Pennock is set to open his first major regional exhibition, Journey to Paradise, at Noosa Regional Gallery from 08.02.25 - 30.03.25.
"Colin Pennock captures impressions of places and spaces, collected and collated in a field of activity, where a sense of time is infused with the other spatial dimensions. The spaces Pennock is concerned with revel in a kind of ambiguity – a mutability – shifting from solid to liquid to gas without ever fully committing to any of these states. They stir and rise, sink and thrust into different parts of the picture plane, rushing forward and draining away – much like the swell of the ocean displaced against the shore, following the fall of the sand and negotiating the topography of any outcrops it might encounter.
At their heart, Pennock’s paintings speak to the beat and rhythm of time and change. While glimpses of distant horizons evoke melancholy and memory, these are fleeting, and the real spaces that Pennock is drawn to don’t have a replicable form – they exist in between the moments, in between the places." - Noosa Regional Gallery
