The Creative Journey – Discovering yourself through Art appreciation

“Each of us brings something alive in the world that no one else can. There is a profound necessity at the heart of individuality. When your life awakens and you begin to sense the destiny that brought you here, you endeavor to live a life that is generous and worthy of the blessing & invitation that is always calling you…”

John O’Donohue

Avec Pleasure loves highlighting the works of the talented and inspired artists who are working with new approaches to contemporary art practice.

I have known MERRICK BELYEA for almost twenty years and this month I am highlighting the wonderful body of works ‘ANTHROPOCENE LANDSCAPES’ which he is about to shown in Sydney at the MAY Gallery. I strongly recommend a visit to this show while it is up. You won’t be disappointed. His work is both poetic and insightful.

Avec Pleasure presents Merrick Belyea

‘Merrick Belyea’s paintings are deeply focused on the curious human appetite for destruction. Environmental concerns are central to his recent paintings, referring to a potential for devastation, pointing to a future of mechanical scarification of the landscape. Paring back the veneer of previously prepared paint layers reveal the detritus of process and the fragility of surface.’
