Artist: Nora Lemmon - Durban



Nora's fabulous acrylic abstracts, Trimelbach I & II, fit the bill for the Out of the Box theme to a tee!!!
Large paintings (760mm x 1015mm) on stretchers with painted frames - they're sure to make a statement at the exhibition!!






To add to the interest factor of these 2 pieces, is the source of Nora's inspiration:

In 2007 we stayed in a small village in Switzerland called Muren. Close by was this magnificent waterfall called Trimelbach which has carved these interesting holes and tunnels through the rockface and runs off the mountain just below Schilthorn and near Grimmelwald and drops something like one kilometre to the valley below. We were taken to one of the viewing sights by lift which is inside the rockface and the power and noise of the falls is an unbelievable experience. The rock formations created these amazing abstract folds that triggered my inspiration for the paintings.




Of course, Nora's photographic skills make for good viewing too!!!...
