South Curl Curl Summers

Rachel Rae, South Curl Curl Summers, acrylic on canvas

There is an interesting disruption of the scene created between the still waters of the rock pool and the wild white water of the waves spilling over onto Curl Curl beach - but painted together, they create a jigsaw of the perfect Curl Curl summer. Rae’s interest in seascapes and the people within them is highlighted in this work, her careful depiction of families and summer-enjoyers in the foreground encapsulates this nostalgia for summer perfectly.
