Agial Art Gallery invites you to the opening of Amy Todman's exhibition “and the smell of the flowers is everything I don’t say” on Friday 28 July at 5:00-8:00pm.

Washes of earthy greens, ocean blues, cold greys, and dreamy pinks draw the spaces within which Amy Todman narrates around windows. Amidst the openings she creates, appear vignettes that stand between dream and waking life, a glass of water becomes its stains, a bitten fruit manifests as a fragment, and objects acquire creaturely limbs that stain the canvas. Todman’s works lace the beautiful with the sublime while knotting the gesture of painting with being and dwelling.

Amy Todman is an artist and writer from Scotland who is making her home in Beirut, Lebanon. Beirut has had a profound and enduring impact on her painting, poetry and her understanding of the world. Her recent exhibitions include The Partial Foreground (Henrik Igyityan National Centre for Aesthetics, Yerevan, Armenia) and From Here to There (Dalan Art Gallery, Yerevan, Armenia).
