‘The Meeting’, by artist Audrey Bunt, is available to view on Water St, on treatment plant fence, courtesy of the Three Rivers Art Trail!
The mural depicts fishermen gathered at the dock discussing issues, as many men have done before them and since. Concerns like the size and price of their catch, politics, community news, how to give help where needed to their fellow fisherman and his family perhaps. Young boys look on, learning the trade from their elders, while old men look on, as they have heard it all before.
About the Artist
Her muse is the landscape and sea of the Island where the richness of the colour of the island and the calm blue shores inspires her, to try to capture the essence of this land. “I get an immense satisfaction from painting. In an age when noise and activity is difficult to escape, I try to paint “The Moment” with light being the only actor. Painting subjects, in a window of intimacy, with no hidden meaning, and no explanation. I paint, with just the chance, that the viewer may find, for however brief of time, a space where no noise or action is required.”
