KINA Gallery is delighted to host an exhibition by father-daughter duo, Peter and Rachel Lambert. This exhibition, opening Thursday 12 August, 2010, combines paintings by Peter Lambert with jewellery by daughter, Rachel.

Although this will be the third exhibition Peter and Rachel have exhibited in together, both artists are established artists in their own right. Rachel says that although Peter has encouraged her creative side, it was always a natural thing for her to make jewellery. “I’ve always made jewellery ... I like 3D”. Growing up, Rachel reflects that she spent a lot of time in Peter’s studio playing around: “I used to watch him paint, but I used to play with clay”.

Rachel’s pieces in this show celebrate her love for the three dimensional object and her experimental approach with form. Intricate patterns cut from silver, are combined with bone. These pieces are complemented with meticulously carved geometric designs made from stone, borrowing influences from the streamlined, simple shapes of art deco jewellery.

In contrast to his daughter’s refined pieces, Peter Lambert’s paintings in this exhibition take on more of free-spirited approach, confidently capturing the dynamism of life in our urban environment. Invigorated by the art of our youth culture, Peter speaks about his current art practice with enthusiasm: “At this point of time I want to have a go at everything”. Indeed, Peter’s work in this show embodies an energy that is both refreshing and uplifting.
