Carole Gibbons: The Mythological Landscape

Hales is delighted to announce The Mythological Landscape, a solo exhibition by Carole Gibbons (b. 1935 Glasgow, Scotland). Gibbons’ second solo presentation at Hales brings together significant historic paintings from the 1960s to the early 1970s, and follows the recent acquisition of the nonagenarian painter’s seminal work Persephone (1969) by the Tate Galleries (UK - London, Liverpool, St Ives).

Gibbons' seven-decade oeuvre can be defined in distinct yet interconnected periods, the early mythological landscapes, followed by domestic still lifes. Both bodies of work emerge from what might be described as an interior, psychic terrain—where lived experience, literary influence and archetype coalesce.
