This week’s Work of the Week from Grace Bailey’s exhibition ‘In the Eye of the Beholder’ is ‘Hope and a Promise’ (no. 8, oil on canvas, 61 x 61 cm, $880).
The painting comes from a body of work inspired by the artist’s visits to and involvement with orphanages around the world and expresses her concern about the fate of the children in some of the world’s developing nations.
‘Hope and a Promise’ was inspired by a boy Grace had met in a Northern Thailand orphanage, where he has been since the age of three months. Grace hopes that children like these have a promise of good education and a future.
The exhibition is on view at the gallery until Saturday, 26 October.
