HAMILTON-based Jasmine Mansbridge has been an artist for the last twenty years, travelling interstate and around the world with her paintings and sculptures for exhibitions and residencies.

She will be launching an exhibition in Sydney this weekend before heading off to France again next week with a sculpture installation; ‘Dream Gazebo’ at the Chateau des Deux Amants (The Castle of Two Lovers).

Her exhibition in Sydney; ‘Poetry Buried in Geometry’, is further testament of her works emerging as a means to explain an “overarching idea that our ways of being can be divided into two parts. Our poetry and our geometry”.

Ms Mansbridge said she was largely inspired by shapes, colour, and various properties of objects that “provoke thought and wonder which gives the viewer the chance to apply their personal storytelling”, as they “unpack portals of Mansbridge’s imagined world”.

 She creates art in several mediums - sculpture, large-scale public works and intimate paintings for private collection.

Ms Mansbridge said she was not afraid to venture outside an established comfort zone, and whatever her choice of art form, brings a refined and meticulous hand to the work; her deliberation and contemplation are evident at all times.

“I am curious about the worlds that exist within us and outside of us,” she said.

“All my life I have been drawn to colour and within my practice I am always wanting to push this as far as I can.

“As an artist I aim for every piece to be aesthetically pleasing before going out into the world, to then be layered with new meaning and significance assigned via its collector.

“My practice continues to expand on so many levels and I am excited for all that lies ahead.”
