Mine are the dreams of the sleepless

Austrian born artist Jinx in the Sky will open her latest exhibition of dream-inspired paintings on Wednesday 4 November at Pixel Ink Gallery.

The exhibition titled ‘Mine are the dreams of the sleepless’ features figurative works inspired by dreams, mysteries of the unconscious mind, and elements of everyday emotions.

“It sometimes feels like I have several people's dreams in my head because the contents are too bizarre,” says Jinx.

"These people are left sleepless now, as I have their dreams.”

However, ‘Mine are the dreams of the sleepless’ is not just the title of the exhibition it is also becoming a trademark for the Wellington based artist’s style of art.

“It is a line that has been in my head for years ever since I started turning my dreams into paintings,” explains Jinx.

“I like to use symbols and metaphors as they are present in our dreams, disguising the wonderful and the terrible, the fears, wishes and hopes,” she adds.

Pixel Ink Gallery director, Rosalind Clark said Jinx’s use of watercolour and acrylic in her paintings creates a florescent quality with intensity and vibrancy, awakening the audience’s attention.

Clark adds that in addition to the exhibition, limited edition prints by Jinx are for sale at the Pixel Ink Newtown gallery and recently opened Cuba Street boutique.
