'Oomblikke / Moments'

What started off as a more graphic and illustrative exhibition, soon flourished into  a more painterly and informed one after the artist was introduced to the world of  suzanis. Ehlers spent weeks with a private collection of these embroidered Uzbek textiles, and, like the woven material she spent time with, the artist began weaving her brush-work and her ideas into the surfaces of her paintings. The cutting, collage and layering of her paperwork lead to new ways of expressing a new-found love for ancient motifs and patterns. In this exhibition, the viewer is invited upon a magic carpet ride, celebrating intuitive and fleeting moments of abundant colour, form and pattern.
