URGENT UPDATE: The highly anticipated art exhibition, The Creatures in My Mind, featuring the stunning watercolour paintings of artist Lily Johnston, opens this Friday, July 19, 2023, at 7 PM in the Kinvara Courthouse. This captivating collection promises to transport viewers into a surreal world where curiosity meets introspection.

Lily Johnston’s work straddles the line between dream and reality, offering a glimpse into a psychological landscape shaped by imagination and creative expression. Each piece invites viewers to explore themes of vulnerability and voyeurism, as Johnston describes her paintings as “curious and deeply personal.” The artist shares that these otherworldly humanoid figures and mythical creatures reflect her inner dialogue and emotional experiences.

“This collection comes from between curiosity of the unknown and making sense of the past,” Johnston explains. “They are versions of myself and others – sometimes watching, sometimes being watched.” Her art serves as a therapeutic outlet, helping her cope with both internal and external anxieties.

The exhibition runs daily from July 19 to July 27, 2023, from 11 AM to 5 PM, providing ample opportunity for art lovers to engage with the work. Johnston’s use of vibrant colors and intricate details adds a mystical ambiance, making each painting a unique experience.

“I hope this show resonates with anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed or lost in a dream,” she adds, emphasizing the emotional connection she seeks to foster through her art. The figures depicted in her work are described as “expressive but ambiguous,” evoking a sense of familiarity yet leaving room for interpretation.

This exhibition is not just an art show; it’s an invitation to pause and reflect on the quietly strange beauty of the human condition. Johnston’s collection is a reminder of the power of art to connect us through shared experiences and emotions.
