The Wellington Gallery presents Gum Trees and Hot Concrete- an exhibition of new abstract paintings by emerging Sydney artist Alexandra Plim.Gum Trees and Hot Concrete is about painting- experimentation- and finding some freedom amongst the chaos of city life.'As the pandemic wreaked havoc on the arts and entertainment industry and school shut downs made painting time non-existent- I did not think having an exhibition this year would be possible! Somehow the paintings were still painted- be it in the middle of the night- and with some sensible restrictions galleries are still open! So here we are. I'm thrilled to be able to share this work with an audience of art lovers- especially as we are all so desperate to feel connected- inspired and uplifted.' - Alexandra Plim
