KARI BIENERT SOLO EXHIBITION 2022 ANNOUNCEMENT

Wherever I go,

Wherever I will be,

I will create art,

And when I am ninety years old,

My life will be a great tapestry of memory in colour.

Announcing my Adelaide solo exhibition to be held at The Main Gallery, 156 Halifax Street, Adelaide on September 9th 2022.

Slowly the paintings of the last three years are all sitting around me. Coming into the studio they start to live and breathe, each a web of stories, feelings and visibly a great network of energy. How blessed I am to spend my days halfway between earth and eternity. Each canvas a child, a friend, a challenge, a great love and teacher, a brief moment that takes me months to create.

QR for the soul- these works are […]

Kari Bienert 2019 SALA Exhibit- Cushions and More

Hi everyone,

It seems ages since I’ve written. The fire is on 24/7 and the Winter mist has taken over. I love it! Such great weather for hibernating and going within.

Yesterday I hung my South Australian Living Artists Exhibit at Norwood Central (number 198 in the SALA guide). It’s called “A Colourful Life” and is a little pocket of Glow in the Hoyts complex. There is a recent painting “Catching the Thread” hanging in the centre. Here is a little bit about it.

“I painted this work whilst my outer life was changing- New directions,new surroundings and new studio. I felt weird…

Whilst I am accustomed to change I found this time pulled me strongly into a centre of discovery where colour connections […]

Kari Bienert August Action

There’s no escaping the aftermath of a solo show, the intense build up and focus comes crumbling down with a period of less favourable blues in every hue. Every artist experiences it, and no matter how much we prepare for the onslaught of emotion it always catches me, even for a moment, a day….. wondering what does it all mean?

Even with sales and accolades and recognition there’s a dullness that cocoons my heart. I’m used to this time, it happens every time, but somehow I expect it to be different.

Life rolls on and I dive into work, and activities with my gorgeous girls. Its freezing in Adelaide and the heater is on, the wind is howling. I have been doing […]

Kari Bienert “When Mummy Paints” Exhibition

The two most powerful warriors are patience and time……Leo Tolstoy

I am nearly there, I am surrounded by paintings and can hardly fit in my studio. When Mummy Paints an exhibition of my latest works opens March 24 at BMGART South Australia.

The intense preparation of the last 11 months fills my mind, heart and life. Works sit around me waiting, reflecting, glowing,… whether someone is there or not. The raw light shows every line etched into an ancient face, silent, half lit dusty space. The mind see-saws between judgement nonchalance…. resignation…nothingness. There I am again at the familiar point where I continue into the night.

The scene changes and the galloping ecstasy of light and knowledge sweep through, every brushstroke is illumined, […]

Kari Bienert Happy New Year all! May 2018 be filled with Peace, Love and Art.

Happy New Year all! May 2018 be filled with peace, love and Art!

Holidays have been wandering beach scapes and inner glades of new work coming up for air to the faces of loved ones. My girls have been busy in the studio creating mini aquariums and illuminated paintings from acrylics alongside long diatribe with invisible friends and mentors. It’s a wondrous time.

I’m so very excited to announce “When Mummy Paints.”, an exhibition of new works opening on March 24, 2018 at BMGART South Australia.

From the whirling laughter of children, and dreams made of energy and light. From Colours mixed through sadness, band aids and grief. From all the moments that make up the wholeness of life – it is from […]
