Artist statement on the artwork:
Born amidst the tropical wonders of Malaysia and now deeply connected to the vibrant essence of Sydney, Yvonne Gallagher's artwork reflects a harmonious blend of her rich cultural heritage and the beauty of her adopted home. Together with her Irish husband, she has found an anchor in this captivating city, where the ocean’s endless horizon offers a sense of freedom and possibility for their growing family.
This particular piece, depicting a serene sailing experience on Sydney Harbour with the iconic Opera House in the distance, captures the essence of their life—one brimming with adventure, familial warmth, and the majestic allure of the sea.
Yvonne’s bold and expressive brushstrokes mirror the dynamic interplay between the sails and the ocean.
Through her use of the impasto technique, with its thick application of paint, she brings texture and movement to the water, encapsulating its restless yet captivating nature. The contrast between the sharp, decisive lines of the boat and the fluidity of the waves draws the viewer into the journey, inviting them to feel the wind and taste the salt in the air.
Her semi-abstract style balances realism with a dream-like wonder. The vibrant blues of the water seamlessly merge with the purples and pinks of the twilight sky, reflecting the ever-changing moods of the ocean and sky above. These hues not only represent the physical beauty of Sydney but also the deep emotional currents of love, belonging, and exploration that define their lives here.
Each time Yvonne gazes at this painting, she is reminded of her journey—from the lush landscapes of Malaysia to the clifftops of Sydney, alongside her husband and children. It stands as a testament to the new horizons they’ve embraced and the endless waves of inspiration that the ocean brings into their lives each day.
